Jas as with all chems that go through the pump as long as you rinse a couple of litres of water through the pump on your last job at the end of the day you should be fine.

Run your vacs for 5 minutes to reduce the damp as well.

[Simon@arenaclean]

I always run cold water through the pump and solution hose and flush the recovery tank just with an open hose on the end, never had any issues.

how does the Pure Clean compare to the Solutions Heavy Duty?

and has any one tried the Solutions Fusion Clean as a prespray before extraction cleaning? I think their Fusion Clean is a fantastic bonnet solution and i think Ken has tried it on a sofa as a prespray before extraction with good results - just wondered if any one else tried it like that?

what Prochem products do you use on upholstery and does anyone boost any of their presprays with solvent boosters?

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I like fusion clean for upholstery I'd give it 8/10 but to make it work you do need to aggitate it quite alot, I did try it on carpets and it was okay, I was talking years ago to an ex Prochem guy and he said that alot of the co solvent cleaners like Ultrapak and Fabric Restorer when diluted far more than recommeded will lower the ph and still keep their grease cutting abilities albeit not quite the same this way you don't need solvent boosters.

Shaun, have you tried fusion8, i have a 2lt bottle to try some time.

[Jason Williscroft]

the thing that puts me off acid rinses is i tried Alltecs one with my Advantage and within a month the heater element had started corroding and so did the couplings etc. Maybe i was not cleaning out the tank enough or rinsing it through with plain water after the clean.

after that i stuck to Splitters and just water in the tank. I'd like to give some of these products a go - i like the look of Pure Clean with free rinse but the acid rinsing puts me off the others!! Although i am assuming if you are doing a trashed poly, a simple water rinse would be ok.
 
how is the Fusion8 working out Andrew? thats another product that looks good but i never really got on with M Power that well

I've used acid rinses for the last 2 years in my Ninja and I use my heater every day - never had a problem.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Andrew it was very okay but IMO not worth the extra money and the protector bit is hard to advise on stain blockers etc I'd prefer to use a post protector which offers more.

thanks guys, loads of food for thought!!!

I would say that Prochem Pure Clean is on par with Solutions Heavy Duty.  Some people cant get on with things like Solutions micro splitters but can woth Proche Pure Clean and its the other way round fo others.  Sometimes though i think this is because the people that sell you chemicals brain wash you into believing that their chemical is the best so in your mind you believe them.

[Jason Williscroft]

do any of you use the Prochem Power Burst on upholstery or if not what Prochem products are good with upholstery?

[Steve. Taylor]

jas pure clean works well fabric restorer or fab clean dont think you can go far wrong on any prochem chemicals.

[derek west]

daz for me on upholstery, works fantastic.

[JandS]

Might try PB on upholstery.

John

[cleaningmaster]

When i use my Porty, i always use Chemspec's one clean powder in the rinse.

As its on the acid side you dont have to use anything else.

 Always get fantastic results.

Hi Guys

Powerburst should only be used on upholstery if you are 100% sure there will not be any colour issues.

Pureclean works well and is much safer, lower pH.

Pureclean, HD etc are all sodium tripolyphosphate, I use Pureclean because I can vary the concentrations more easily and it is much cheaper.

Cheers

Doug uses Pure Clean for the reasons he states.

Its a powder, I dont like mixing powders - time consuming etc, but I have Pure Clean, PB, Dry Blend, DFC210, Double Clean so you can see I am not against powder.

However, I prefer ready to use (RTU) fluids like HD, Nemesis, M-Power. I find then easy to dilute to a weaker mix, and as for cost - powder may be marginally cheaper, and in the big scheme of things a few pence more on a carpet is nothing.
And if I run out on the job I just quickly pour some more, add the right amount of water, and off and away we go again.

I i use the fusion clean on upholstery and i use the foam the fusion clean makes an makes it easier to adgitate
