Title: Asthma Sensitivity - Detergent Fumes (VOC's)
Post by: Grant Whyte on October 19, 2010, 04:41:21 pm

Hiya

Got a cc booked with a customer who has asthmatic reaction to detergent VOC's (fumes). Carpet has low soil, last cleaned 2004/5, high wool content - thinking of alternative prespray and rinse with water only. Can you recommend a suitable pre-spray.

Thanks

Grant

Hi

That's the plan; plain h/w/e after prespray

This is the stuff you need.

Chemspec DFC prespray. All ingredients are considered safe from a food and drinks perspective and it contains no VOCs. It is woolsafe too, so it ticks all your boxes.

I use this regularly and it is a decent product. I recommend it. :)

Why not try Nemesis or M-Power.  No problems with either of them.

I had similar customer ,suggested they check DFC 105 out on web to see if ok. They went for it and were well pleased with job. Terrible problem to have - cant have new suite as it offgases or car . Any decorating has to be planned when they are away etc

I did a whole house the other week and she wouldn't let me use anything, luckily it wasn't too bad and the heat did the work.
