Title: Oxygen related pre-spray
Post by: David Rogers on July 18, 2010, 12:03:51 am
Ok, I'm going to show my real ignorance in a certain field here!

Although I'm quite happy with the pre-sprays I use at present for both my Dry, Bonnet, and HWE processes, I saw a video on YouTube of someone using a pre-spray that was described as a 'natural oxygenated' product (no further details were given) that appeared to be working bleedin' miracles on spots and stains, they were literally disappearing when this prespray hit them (before agitation).

Perhaps there was some camera trickery here and I'm being naiive, but does anyone know anything about this type of chem, any experience, what's the catch, etc?

I can't find the video now! but I'll look again tomorrow and post a link.

Cheers,

Dave.

I would think the chemical you mention would be SODIUM CARBONATE PEROXYHYDRATE

If you do a search on here i am sure you will find out more.

When I trained in Double Glazing we were told to make up all sorts of extra claims for our product

Umm, I've tried the following just recently to see if 'Active Oxygen' would cut it.
Sainsbury's Stain remover powder for whites with active oxygen.
Contains Sodium Percarbonate, oxygen based bleaching agents, enzymes and optical brighteners.
Says on the container for instaht results even red wine, curry, lipstick.

End result....doesn't do what it says on the container.

Perhaps it only works if you literally keep the material soaked in the product for some time and also kept at 40 degrees. So that's hardly likely to be the best course of action in our profession.

Hi Guys

This is the same as Prochem oxibrite, when addedd to water produces hydrogen peroxide which will bleach some stains but will also take out general colour.

Should be used in a controlled way not liberrally sprayed!!

Cheers

Thanks for the pointers. I'm guessing the product used was what your'e describing - SODIUM CARBONATE PEROXYHYDRATE.

It wasn't that video Mike, but that was absolutely hillarious!!  ;D

The video I was certainly seemed to work in a similar way as to the demonstrated carpet stain in that link above...... probably staged and a weak, recent stain, probably applied to a carpet recently stainguarded!

Guess if there was such an easy shortcut, everyone'd do it!
