Cleaned this dirty carpet today with my steampro,power burst and double clean.Dont knock the porties power.

[davep]

Not suprised it came up, Powerburst is ph 11 and double clean ph9.5

Not the safest of combinations 

Good chance of being sticky and resoiling quickly 

[stevie wonder]

It was a synthetic carpet,the same as my own lounge carpet .I use the same combination on that ,and havnt had any problems on that ,its still there mate.

You need to get the carpet ph neutral after cleaning, clean it that way a few more times and you will get problems

Quick fix cleaning, we used to clean carpets this way around ten years ago, results look good, but not for long.

Power Burst should do the job followed by acid rinse. Try HM CLEARWATER RINSE excellent economical acid rinse.

[stevie wonder]

Thanks  Mark I will try that.At the end of the day the carpet looked trashed,it came up 1000 %,I worked on it for a couple of hours and she didnt need to buy a new carpet, and she was very happy.All for 50 quid,and ready for her next dirty tenents

2 hrs work for £50    I think she may have got a bargain !

No offence meant.

I bought some powerburst last week following everyone on here harping on about it, was i dissapointed.
I used it on a 80/20 twist, light beige and was very greasy covered in black sticky marks.(almost black top) Rinsed with fab & fibre. i had a very poor result.
So i empted tank, made up a solution of Oneclean rinsed with this, then mist over with fab & fibre, and this was great, a really good result.

Yesterday used it on student let carpets( you all know what these are like)
rinsed with very hot water and again poor result
made up a solution of form90 and once again really good results :

Everone keeps banging on how good it is, but i seem to get better results from what iv been using before....Chemspec 321 and form90, chemspec oneclean traffic lane and oneclean powder.
It looks as if its the additive cleaning and not powerburst!!
I will keep on trying it but im not happy with it at the moment.

Powerburst like most Prochem chems top notch IMO.

[richie]

Cleaningmaster,

I am amazed that you didnt get a result.  I have tried Powerburst on a range of carpets from £1.99sqm - £60sqm and NEVER had a poor result like you say you got unless the carpet had a variety of fruit juices, tea, coffee, curry on it.

Richie.

[cleaningmaster]

As i said i was really dissapointed
i know that there hasnt been a bad word against it.THATS WHY I BOUGHT SOME.
I was using a hydroforse and brushed it well in i dont understand what im doing wrong i dont think im doing anything wrong???
I feel as if i would have got the same result by just using form90!

Do you use an additive in the tank or just acid rinse?

Regards

Daryl

[garyfindlay]

did you spray it hot, aggitate and let it dwell?

[Timmy Boy]

I was cleaning a school over the past few days using powerburst and getting a reasonable result but I had a lot of blue tac to shift so I rung Prochem to see what I needed to shift it. They told me citrus gel and then pres spray with multipro. This suprised me but the chap said that powerburst is for food grease but multipro is better for foot traffic grease (he said one is for oily grease and the other for greasy soils - or something like that). I then extracted with fabric and fibre. Maybe trying this or trafficlean on your light carpets if you find powerburst is not up to scratch?

Its funny that some people can swear by a product whereas others just can't seem to get away with it. Its always been like that and always will. If not, everyone would use the same product and I would have one shelf in my showroom.
Use what you're happy with.

[markpowell]

Powerberst is great on greasy pub and restaurant carpets but if you have heavily soiled domestic carpets i would use trafficclean or pre-spray gold.
mark

[derek west]

prespray gold is a milder form of multi pro, i use the pre spray gold on wool to be safe and multi pro on man made, a good thing about multi pro is you can dilute it 1 to 8 for standard soilage and 1 to 4 for heavy. good stuff but expensive,
