Title: Strongest pre cleaner for Chinese resturant
Post by: benny d on December 01, 2010, 05:14:19 pm
We clean a chinese resturant twice a year and I have used traffic lane cleaner, and then Ultrapac renovate in the past. BTW the carpet must be many years old!

I have just had a look at it, and I am thinking I need to use something different that with the advice from here can hopefully be a better pre cleaner than I have used before.

So my question is - What would you use on a VERY greasy, well trodden in Chinese resturant carpet?
Thanks for any pointers.

Hot Power Burst all the way.  Agitate with an Envirodri and watch the Magic.

Citra-Boost as a back up additive.

F & F rinse to finish.

Champion from craftex  or go with an  enzyme pre-spray.

but I would go for more agitation and longer dwell time

We like to use our trusty old Cimex for this kinda job.

Chemspec Enzyme Carpet Shampoo with Traffic Lane Cleaner booster is the weapon of choice.

Well rinsed with Textile Rinse or B109.

  Hydramasters blitz with grease breaker. Done a Korean restaurant the other day with it, came up like new. Still smelt of dogs though.  :o

I heard from a very reliable source that Stardrops was a brilliant pre=spray for heavy grease.

but I can't why the pre-spray should be different from a lightly soiled Chinese restaurant and a heavy soiled one the dirt is the same its just the amount of the dirt that is different. so use the same pre-spray just use more of it and scrub it in deeper

The question says strongest so this would be something in the ph 14 range. I think PB is only 11.

Enzymes make sense on this sort of job combined with something that keeps the ph up.

Thanks for all the replies.  :)
A lot of food for thought!

Yes I just need something different that will really do the business.
We cleaned it a few months ago, but it seems it needs another good clean.

Maybe they need the kitchen floor deep cleaned to slow the tracking out into the restaurant.

Enzymes are the way to go as the others mention.

Rinse them well if there is wool content as I am sure you know.

Enzall is the highest pH of the enzyme pre-sprays with the widest working temp and longest time range once activated.
