Saw presentation at carpet cleaners carnival on above and wondered if any of you guys are using these products and there efficacy, ie do they work! simon

[Elfyn]

I've been using it for, probably, ten years. And it works very well.

[macky]

Aren't  these being banned shortly ?

[premier floorcare]

Think that's more to do with silver you can find a brief  but concise explanation about colloidal cleaning  here

[edward coller]

Thanks for reply, what do you mean by the term silver, please. Simon

[premier floorcare]

It's the medical use of colloidal silver as a health benefit there are calls for it to be banned in the EU

[edward coller]

thank you for that.Simon

They do work on light soiling anything heavy they struggle. But still too much hanging about for me.

What he fails to point out in his explaination blurb is that the terms colloid and micelles are formed by all detergents  .... not just the plant juice hes pushing .
Google it yourself , these are basics in all sorts of chemistry , not just detergency
eg   http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.ie/2010/04/surfactant-chemistry-micelles.html

The silver would have nothing to do with the plant detergent ...more confusion

[premier floorcare]

I'm not "pushing"anything just offering an explanation of colloidal cleaning. The silver reference was in answer to his question about the banning.

Not you  don't take offence , I mean whoever wrote the text in the link ...is describing a process common to most cleaning products ....as distinct from describing what (if anything) is unique to the plant derived surfactant ....

[premier floorcare]

No offence taken 😊😊

Can I ask what product you used and if you heated it up to cut down the dwell time wait?

The picture below are from an Incinerator Plant where the upstairs carpets get trashed by  workers coming into the offices. This is thick protein at it's best. Removed with Colloidal Cleaner 5-10 minute dwell

[SteveAllan]

Yes i apply it hot, which one have you used there.

[neil 47]

No before and after picture is as it seems .

Was the before pic taken after pre sprayed
Did you open the curtains for the after shot
Did you use photo editor
What construction is the carpet
What is the soiling
What do you use to agitate
What Heat are you using
What psi is it rinsed at
Was it bonneted
Was there sun damage etc etc

They do look good though

  where has the plug socket gone from the left side wall ,on the second picture

[CleanerCarpets]

lol, the door on the left has disappeared too and that wall has got longer 

[Mike Halliday]

Or the carpet seam  in the doorway in the after photo..... not there in the before

[Gary Webber]

Ahh i've been sussed out!  I was up all night editing photos and photo shopping pictures to make them look good! Or could it be the area BEYOND THE DOOR is the starting point for the photo. Best way to show the end result is to show a partial cleaned bit (but there again that has been photo shopped and edited about 50 times because I don't have anything better to do for 5 hours 

[Gary Webber]

No before and after picture is as it seems .

Was the before pic taken after pre sprayed  No
Did you open the curtains for the after shot  No curtains in a commercial premises corridor
Did you use photo editor No
What construction is the carpet Commercial carpet tile
What is the soiling Heavy protein from waste disposal plant walked across carpets (almost like bar black)
What do you use to agitate  Nothing
What Heat are you using  50 degree water mixed with Colloidal Cleaner
What psi is it rinsed at No Rinsing
Was it bonneted  Microfibre padded
Was there sun damage etc etc  Internal Corridor with lamps on 24-/7
They do look good though They sure do!

Hi Gary,

Results look great,

Is there a strong odour upon finishing?

Regards

Jen

[edward coller]

Thank you Gary I appreciate those photos and  and your time and effort. Simon

[Gary Webber]

Hi Jen,

Great part of it is, product has no odour. No phosphates,  Petroleum based solvents,  Peroxides or VOC's

[neil 47]

Gary

It wasn't a slight on your integrity ,

It was a statement in general terms about all before and after photos .

[Gary Webber]

Hi Neil,

Not a problem, although there are some people who love to snipe and have a dig. 

Trouble is taking pictures in venues that bad, you don't want to walk on the floor to start with, never mind at the end! so we left connecting door closed.

[SteveAllan]

Which one you using Gary, is it M Power

[John Kelly]

It will be the one Gary sells.

[SteveAllan]

Lol, don't know him. All becomes clear, just like the carpet

[Gary Webber]

Lol, don't know him. All becomes clear, just like the carpet

don't really understand what becomes clear?  The question to you was what products were you using, as you stated they only work on light soiling. I was interested in  what you were using to suggest colloids only work on light soils.  I am not promoting or suggesting any products. Unfortunately just like the pictures, someone has to read something else into it and twist it....
