Hi Guys and Gals
I was thinking of trying out Chemspecs Formula 90 powder and wondered what you thought of it and maybe you could tell me how it is better than say, Prochem Double Clean or Alltecs Ultimate Master? :)
-
I use fomula 90 and find it excellent, its a lot better than prochems double clean, not sure on alltec chemcal, have not used their yet.
-
Formula 90 liquid is very good and you can use it at 32 to 1 and i think even higher . Ultimate is very good to ,if i was you i would try both but you will need defomer des

Des
Formula 90 liquid can be used at 960-1 you must have money to burn!!
-
Don't forget Formula 90 powder and Formula 90 liquid are 2 completely different products.
-

Formula 90 powder is my 1st choice if I'm using detergent in the tank. Over the years tried Prochem , Active chem , stapro etc

HYDRADRI from hydramaster (knock spots) of any other rinse agent.

What ph is hydradri?Does it need an acid rinse when finished or does it dry neutral?
-
Hydradri has a high ph and so does powdered formula 90.
As stated earlier powdered formula 90 is different to the liquid formula which is wool safe.

Shaun,
Every other post of yours shows concerns with potential hydrogen, are you worried that this may cause rapid re soiling ? as for any true proffessional C/C would know where and when to use such a product. High Ph does not promote resoiling, residue of soaps etc does.
-
Just a thought, but when you order Hydradri does the person taking the order shout hy-dra-dri back.
-
As we all know the high ph of products does Not cause rapid resoiling (your training should tell you this) but can cause other problems like stripping wool or worse colour run, that is why I'm sceptical about what I use on my customers items.

Your absolutly right shaun, this is how I achieved my 26 year "enviable" reputation and a fantastic repeat and referal rate - doing the right-wrong thing.
-
Do Hydramaster do any woolsafe products ???
-
Thinking about ph and the idea that some products dry ph neutral when the actual liquid form is ph 9 or 10 say.
PH can only be measured in a liquid form (or am I wrong) that means when a solution dries on a carpet with no moisture present no ph of any kind will be registered.
However The addition of water will reconstitute any residue that remains. What I am asking is does a product that is said to dry neutral PH, register neutral when the carpet is rewetted. Or does it register the original ph of the solution. This would be interesting to know.

The proof of the pudding, is in the eating!! Try it.

Do you really need a defoamer for Formula 90 powder?
-
I always use a de foamer no matter if its needed or not, best to be safe than sorry.
-
Someone suggested on another forum instead of using defoamer put a bar of cheap soap in the tank. Has anyone done that and does it work?
-
Vinegar also works
