Post by: heritagecleaning on March 27, 2013, 07:06:44 pm: Carpets in the General Lee? Depends what the boys had in there I suppose. Must have been hard to do the job though, what with the doors being welded shut.

Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus) on March 27, 2013, 07:37:05 pm: I still like PureClean, especially on clean, good quality wool carpets ;D
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Carpet Dawg on March 27, 2013, 07:49:43 pm: Powerburst is good. Sorry but theres no microsplitter on this plant going to compare with the likes of powerburst, time to get real guys.

Citrus gel is good. Pureclean is good the few times i've used it.

Ultrapac is good. Oxibrite is good.

Cleansan is a good sanatiser.

Apart from citrus gel all thier other spotters and stain removers are not that good.

Filterout is good but not needed. Fibre & fabric rinse i'm sure does the job but can work out expensive.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Simon Gerrard on March 27, 2013, 08:09:34 pm: Powerburst is the king
Pureclean
Fabric Restorer
Ultrapac Renovate
Citrus Jel
Oxibrite and fibrebuff
Fibre Shampoo

All good Chems but you need to arrive at your own favourites.

Yep like all these,what about the spotters,stain pros good on wine,i love solvall,is there better?
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Carpet Dawg on March 27, 2013, 08:55:04 pm: Oh yeah, Sovall! forgot about that one!
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Simon@arenaclean on March 27, 2013, 09:01:24 pm: I used to use a lot of Multipro but dilutions compared to many other products was quite high but it is a good product. Powerburst replaced it for me. I like Solvex too.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Brendan (chem2clean) on March 27, 2013, 09:06:40 pm: Want to get some pureclean and give it a try,i like heatwave too.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Steven Butler on March 27, 2013, 09:10:27 pm: Is powerburst safe on most carpet types??? Is an acid rinse required?
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Neil Jones on March 27, 2013, 09:40:57 pm: I always acid rinse with PB, it's high ph. Someone will be along soon to tell you it isn't necessary though.
PB is king though.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Robin Ray on March 27, 2013, 09:41:24 pm: Yes acid rinse is needed with powerburst, use fib and fab (Fiber and fabric rinse)

I use pureclean on loads at the mo, with oxibrite its as good if not better than spm.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: cleantech on March 27, 2013, 10:03:31 pm: I have found fabric restorer has let me down on a few suites. I used power burst on them and they came up a treat. i rinse with fib fab even on synthetic carpets.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: carpet_care on March 27, 2013, 10:34:01 pm: Have found pureclean as good as any other pre spray with citrus premium added as a booster off Restormate :)

Also always used citrus gel , stain pro , red rx but this is a hit and miss product.

Regards Andy Locke.

Post by: garybristow on March 27, 2013, 10:37:24 pm: glad multipro got a mention ,great prespray,fabric restorer is brilliant

gary
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Griffus on March 27, 2013, 11:38:11 pm: Pure Clean is best when it comes to wool, and works well on synthetics too. When synthetics really dirty I tend to use Powerburst or UR, depending on environment.

Spotting Kit stuff is OK and tend to use Neutral Pro-Spotter and or Stain-Pro in first instance. Citrus Gel and Solval good on tape residue and paint splashes (although I favour Meth's on gloss). Gum Remover good but expensive for what it is.

I like Odour Fresh as and when.

Multi-Pro very uneconomical and not as good as Pure-Clean. I have about 20 litres of the stuff if anyone wants to make me an offer on it.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Steven Butler on March 28, 2013, 12:34:16 pm: Power Burst says its for heavily soiled commercial/restaurant carpets. Is it ok for majority of domestic carpets?
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Simon Gerrard on March 28, 2013, 01:07:40 pm: Yes, just make sure you acid rinse.

Post by: COLIN BRIGHT on March 28, 2013, 06:34:03 pm: i use an inline sprayer and the dilution rate on pure clean is 8 scoops per litre which seems a hell of a lot per litre but wondering if this is the right dilution rate.. on powerburst i mix 8 scoops per 4 litres so why such a hugh difference i wonder

advise please
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Mark_Jubb on March 28, 2013, 11:22:46 pm: Powerburst
Ultrapac Renovate
Fibre & Fabric Rinse
Fabric Restorer
Solvex & Solvall
Stain-Pro
Red RX
Citrus Gel

I've got the following available if somebody wants them at a good price
2 x 4Kg Tubs of Dry Blend

Mark, how much do you want for them?
£50 for cash Mike
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Mike Halliday on March 29, 2013, 08:10:10 am: I'll give you £50.

do you want the money sent straightaway ( paypal etc) and I can pick them up at the TACCA day, or shall we just sort it out there?
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Matt Steele on March 29, 2013, 01:36:29 pm: What's the most cost effective acid rinse & is there a powdered version, i find Prochem's fib fab rinse not very cost effective
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: AshWhite on March 29, 2013, 02:22:31 pm: Final Phase from Solutions is very cost effective.
Title: Re: Prochem products
Post by: Simon@arenaclean on March 29, 2013, 02:40:04 pm: Hydramasters acidic rinse, I think that is the same as Solutions ??? Cleansmarts RinseX and Chemspec High Heat (encap rinse) Find all excellent and much better value. Alltec used to do powder version http://www.alltec.co.uk/shop/article_T%252FARC/Acid-Rinse-Concentrate.html?sessid=yXCnZmJ4iTENqMdjoMqzfflMwAosQCX9fjZemdhEnVDEjfAtqwfyIRXZQNIUln7P&shop_param=cid%3D9%26aid%3DT%252FARC%26 (http://www.alltec.co.uk/shop/article_T%252FARC/Acid-Rinse-Concentrate.html?sessid=yXCnZmJ4iTENqMdjoMqzfflMwAosQCX9fjZemdhEnVDEjfAtqwfyIRXZQNIUln7P&shop_param=cid%3D9%26aid%3DT%252FARC%26).
