In my opinion Power burst boosted with citra boost. any other ideas?
-
I hear that Shockwave is good and works out much cheaper. I have ordered some so will find out.
-
Only use citra boost as a last resort, well when I walk in and think it need it

Who sells it
-
thanks guys
-
Powerburst and Enzall for me.
I find putting an extra scope or two helps when dealing with a minger, along with extra dwell time. More so than adding aditives like citra boost.

what prespray are you using on lightly soiled carpets? everybody seems to be going in with the big guns, with no thought to removing any existing protector
most man made fibre in domestic home are so easy clean you could get away with just threatening them with powerburst... the dirt would just jump out of the carpet
-
I'm assuming from the post title that the OP wants to know the most powerful all rounder? I could be wrong.
I use formual90 as a pre-spray on lightly soiled or the two already mentioned but at a lower diluation rates :)
Sometimes use Pureclean if the mood takes me. Running out of that.

What are you using

I'll bet it is NOT fusion 8 from solutions
;D ;D

I use Microsplitters on most, I was just wondering what ye would use in the most challenging cleans
-
I tend to use Ms on everything, if its a minger then I just scrub but have a trigger spray of stronger mix and give the stubborn bit a bit of a squirt
any carpets not too bad just get extracted with high flow hot water
-
It depends on what your cleaning really and the type of soiling. This afternoon I cleaned three Egyptian rugs and two other rugs which would have originated around Afganistan about forty years old according to the owner. My obvious choice was m power. Something like citra boost would have been lethal in that situation. However there are times when citra boost would be needed on say a student let as I have done many times but since SPM and Shockwave became available I feel more comfortable with them than Citraboost.

split x from cleansmart for the boring carpets, powerburst for the slightly exciting carpets and Powerburst plus a dash of orange x for the orgasmic carpets. ;D
-
Did a carpet recently immaculate apart from a dirty area near the kitchen, had to use powerburst and the inline heater to get a satisfactory result, does irritate me that the so called "safe" chemicals cannot deal with proper soiling.
-
I take it you haven't tried SPM ;)
-
Powerburst...
I also use dfc 210 rinsed with 105.....safe and good...
-
Jim Spm was what i used on the rest of the carpet, guess you worked that out though, its like a lot of the other safe chemicals that i have had good results with M Power, fibresafe Gold etc but they let you down too often for my liking, although i hear people rave about them and get good results.
Did a wool berber that was the worst stains and soiling i had ever seen, used hot powerburst and acid rinsed with the Magma inline heater on full the results was incredible i could not believe how good it looked like a new carpet, could a safe, ph chemical do that

I have done this in the past and its actually worlks well as a prespray. What dilution ratio have you used it as a prespray?
-
4 scoops of DC in the Hydraforce always get brilliant results 1 tub last about a year.
-
Most people want one product that will remove dirt and all other stains whilst being safe on all carpets. The nearest thing to that is Microsplitters and in particular SPM.
Rarely do I need to spot, whereas in the past I would get reasonable results but a fair bit of spotting.
Powerburst is also brilliant and I'm happy to use it on most things. Yes even wool.
Enzyme Prespray for restaurants
-
Jim, didn't have a clue what it was you were using... all I can say is since using SPM I've only ever had one job where powerburst made just a little bit of an improvement on a trashed area. There could be other reasons apart from blaming the product :)
-
I'm a novice, so please excuse me for my ignorance, but I though Power burst was not suitable for wool carpets. So it's okay for wool ???

It is aslong as you acid rinse!!!
;D

Thank's for the reply. As in acid rinse I assume any finishing spray would suffice? I'm currently using Ashbys with a PH of 3.5.
-
Power burst is brilliant I find myself using it more and more on wool (with acid rince). I cant seem to get on with microsplitters but havn't tried spm yet. I just hope its not like mpower, loads of hype but not all that effective. (for me anyway).
For an acid rince I would use Fib & Fab in the extraction.
-
to be fair michael, all acid rinses are virtually identical! i use clear water rinse from hydramaster!!!
By finishing spray, do you mean go over it with acid rinse in a pump up sprayer? i don't like that option, i prefer to put in my clean tank, well when i was using a portable, now i use it in the chemical jug of my TM
-
Thank's for the reply Billy. Yes I do use the finishing spray in a pump-up bottle. So when using a portable did you extract twice, one with extraction powder / liquid, then the acid finish? I can see the advantage of this as the carpets will be left dryer as the acid finished would have be extracted.
-
never used extraction powder/liquid, just used acid rinse in the tank!!! pre spray should have done most of the work!
-
Thank's Billy, I'll give that method a try :)

I shall be importing this product soon, it will be all you will ever need.

is this something to do with todays date ?

Dont leave me in suspense Jim, i have used SPM about twenty times now and i always use it at the dilution rates suggested or higher put it down hot and agitated, i am not saying it does not work but it does not work every time. i have even tried M power down first left to dwell for thirty minutes then just before extraction sprayed SPM and agitated it to death, just find it a convoluted way of working.
-
I find the best prespray is the one I'am using at the time. In other words I can get most of them to work to the same standard as the last one, with a few variations on dwell time, agitation or boosters. At the moment I am using up DFC210 which works out very cost effective, sometimes boosted with energiser.
-
Well Jim I reckon you've obviously rung the changes with those variables... I always apply plenty to whatever I'm cleaning, as much as is safe for whatever carpet, maybe that's the difference. Other than that the other difference... not wanting to start the old debate again... the T word :-\
But then that would not be a product issue... ah I don't know :-\
By the way, just got back from a curry house job that I do regularly... used shockwave on it and the results kicked the a$$ out of powerburst... wasn't expecting that :o
I'm yet to thoroughly put shockwave through its paces, so tonight was a good experiment. Tried it first off but kept a hydroforce container full of powerburst on standby, fully expecting to have to switch back to the old faithful..... Looks like I've got some surplus powerburst now!!
I'm not saying it is as good as or better in all cases, I need to finish the bucket of it first before any solid conclusions drawn. But yeah I'm impressed so far!
uhmmm I think the point I was trying to make is... although shockwave isn't exactly the "greenest" thing out of the solutions stable it certainly goes to show that the newer generation of products certainly can do the business.
This photo quality is rubbish and doesn't show anything like the real life results seen with your own eyes, but you get the idea....
