Hi today i recieved some nemesis super which im using tommorow to do a deep red wool carpet. i would just like to know your thoughts on nemesis super and how to get it to work best? as ive heard it works for some people and not for others.
Thanks

Works best when you put it on the carpet ;)
I've found with colloidal products that using it a little stronger than the stated dilution gets the best results. What's the standard dilution of Nemesis? 1:160 I think? If so I'd use it at 1:120
Also contrary to popular belief, agitating it reasonably well helps a lot too, I've found.
Put plenty of it down too, as much as the carpet can handle safely, because the action of the product is increased the more "wet" it is.

Nice one jim thanks

I accidentally left a room for nearly an hour after prespraying as I was interupted and asked to include additional areas upstairs.
When I returned to the living room I was amazed at the appearance of the carpet. I'd sprayed a colloidal product on a particularly heavily soiled area intending to agitate them leave for 10 - 15 mins dwell.
The entire area that I'd sprayed was like new.
I never agitated just extract / rinsed and it's the most dramatic transformation I've ever seen in a manky carpet.

Used the nemesis super on a bad job yesterday..Gave it a good dwell time and came up great..

What's the difference between Nemesis Super and Nemesis - is it just dilution rates?

Used it to day ( the nice smelly one) to remove a tomato soup spillage, it removed most of it but I still needed to reduce the stain after the extraction.
I tried it because I had a bit of time to let it dwell ( thought i would play around with it) as im not a great fan of coloidial cleaners, nothing wrong with them as others get good results, but I just cant get on with them, not just nemisis but m power too.
Here we go again............ :-[

I feel the same Paul nemesis etc aren't anything special IMO.

the only problem i have with Nemesis and M power is the inconsistency....... some time they are brilliant some time they are crap.
I got sick of having to go over the carpet again when it failed to perform, so decided to stick with M/S which i found to be consistently good...... Plus i got sick of being told
' i wasn't using it right'
that's why it didn't work. not that the product was crap it was me being a bit thick not knowing how to use a pump up sprayer

Thats very honest of you!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D,

Yep agree with both Shaun and Mike, thats the problem i have with them, i cant get consistancy in results. Some times they work wonders and some times not and I cant get my head around why.
Its not the products as many cleaners use them daily and get good results, i just struggle with them and in the end just use something like powerburst which works straight away.
Mind you im not one for hanging around with massive dwell times when im cleaning every day carpets ;)

hi guys ive used this stuff for the last 2 days and ive gotta say its amazing on wool carpets i mixed it at 10ml to every litre and it worked like a charm.
