We had a big commercial job this weekend which gave us time to play around with chemicals. We decided to do a head to head with two of the big guns for pre spraying after finding that we were not too happy with the way that the carpet was looking after spraying with Enzall.
We selected a manky piece of office carpet and presprayed an area with Enzall and the neighbouring area with Powerburst. We gave equal amounts of dwell time and rinsed each side with Chemspec Liquid High Heat. Both were mixed according to manufacturer's directions with no boosters or additives.
The Powerburst cleaned up okay but the Enzall blew it away in that it took more spot marks out without spotting and required less rinsing than the Powerburst to remove the dirt. Needless to say we completed the rest of the job with Enzall.
A real eye opener!

What type of premises and likely soil sources Lindsay?
-
When you're nearly finished your enzall, give shockwave a go. Would be interesting to see how you compare the two, as I recently found shockwave out-performed powerburst on a manky indian restaurant.
-
Agree with Jim, Shockwave is the new kid on the block.
I've tried Enzall a few times and remember not being that impressed with it.

I have to smile when i see these type of posts.
Do you know what an enzyme is and when and where to use it for best results?
Do you know what a high ph detergent is and when and where to use it?
2 D ifferent chemicals for different situations, so one will out perform the other in the right enviroment.
Learn your chems and cleaning will become so much easier ;)

time of the month paul? ;D ;D ;D ;D

isn't an enzyme better on organic soiling, better on restaurant and pub carpets ?
-
So whats in Shockwave? Anyone know?
-
Don,t know Kev but i would bet its amonium based ;)
-
I would like to squash all the rumours that its a copy of hydramasters soil break, just like the malicious rumours that their final phase is a copy of H/M clear water rinse I think its ridiculous that anyone would think while Nick was sharing the office he realised they where the best sellers..... so soon as he left he had them copied
-
Soil Break is Enzyme based and I don't know what Shockwave is but it is part a solvent, Nick did tell me but I forgot :-\
-
Thats a rediculious comment, Nick is not like that at all. :)
-
Soil break was solvent based

No, not exactly, but I'm keen to learn Paul :)

-
Paul,
Go back to sleep ;D

This was an office premises with general medium to heavy soiling. We went in with Powerburst as the first port of call as we had no reason to use Enzall due to there being no apparent need for it. Paul - I have an honours degree in biology and am pretty sure that I know what an enzyme is, what it does and what we should be using it on.
