Title: product choice
Post by: pest on November 01, 2010, 07:50:59 pm
Hi all on this forum everyone seems to rate prochem stuff whereas on the other forum its solutions m power etc.. Is it just a case of people stick to what they know? I like the sound of the solutions eco friendly stuff do pro chem and others do similar eco friendly products that work or if I want to go down this route is there only the one choice of supplier

The other forum is sponsored by Solutions, so there's your reason for the promotion of M Power etc.

Have to say that M Power is great for jobs where the carpets are in good condition, but I find it doesn't really cut the mustard for anything more than minor soiling. Tried using it on a fairly minging carpet the other day and it failed miserably even hot and mixed at 80:1.

I use products from several different manufacturers Prochem, Solutions, Craftex etc. It's horses for courses I guess.

You will find what works for you after a while mate.

It might take time to find what you like and what works for you..

There are more and more starting to use M-Power, or Nemesis from Restormate, on here and getting good results.
Some are achieving remarkable results even on the bad carpets.

When I watch the news it's always going on about how pest controllers can't keep up with demand. I don't here that much from many carpet cleaners. But I guess the grass always seems greener.

Epidemics

Moles

Bed Bugs

Rats

Carpet cleaners

Laminate flooring

Leather sofas

Dirty English people

Consider Chemspec.

I rate some of their products over the Prochem equivalents.

I'm not going to become a cc its just an add on I can offer the student letting agents I deal with just like I don't do waste removal but today I landed a  job clearing a loft for a customer after clearing the rodents. I'm not a builder but often get asked to block up holes to prevent rodents gaining access and the other day I cleared a section of guttering while up a ladder treating a wasps nest. If I can make a few extra quid whilst out n about I will.

I reckon flea jobs will easily get you carpet cleaning as well because people often ring wanting their carpet done because of fleas.

I regularly watch the news, but cant remember when I last heard mention of pests or pest controllers.
