How many of you chaps use Formula 90 as a pre spray, agitate then rinse? What mix per litre (pre spray) do you do?!
-
It's a rinse, not a pre spray.
-
Very good product. If it's the powdered F90 it doesn't like to much heat, not sure of the range best to ask a distributor. As said it is meant as a rinse.

Just found out you can use it as a pre spray even though it's not mentioned.

Formula 90 powder is the best selling carpet cleaning product in the world. Probably our best seller as well. It is a well buffered cleaning detergent, most people put it in the tank of their portable or stock container of their truckmount. When I was cleaning this and One Clean were used almost exclusively. One scoop per 10 - 15 litres of water or one scoop per litre for truckmount stock solution. If the carpet is not too bad, one thats cleaned regularly, then cleaning with the wand without a pre-spray will give very good results. Should it require a pre-spray then you can spray from the wand or use a seperate sprayer. Again I always achieved excellent results. This is mainly due to the Biosolv it contains which is a powerful citrus degreaser. Very rarely leaves any marks which require further spotting. Never personally had any issues using heat even through the truckmount, in fact Paul King who has a beast of a machine which has a seperate Propane burner uses this and hes has red hot water coming out thewand most of the time.

Some people don't realize how good a product this is. It's been around for years and just keep coming back, all that filthy soil just does not stand a chance.

What about high ph left in the carpets.
-
Its good stuff. I go through quite a bit of it.
As a pre-spray I've used it a few times just to experiment and it has always done a good job especially on upholstery.

I think its great used in the tank, never used it as a pre spray though.

don't know, saying that I've never had any problems with wool and that I have no idea when it neutralizes sounded boring.

Bravo, nice answer as it sould be. Thank you.
Was thinking myself to give it a go.

Got told its one of the worlds best sellers, and its fine on wool. White woollen carpets got told not to use it, but anything else its great. A great power house of a carpet cleaner (and fine as a pre spray). Have not tried personally as it only came on Friday. Got some stinkers to do on Monday so will keep you posted.
-
If used as a pre spray with agitation would you still
Give a decent dwell time
Ben.
-
Any product will benefit from a dwell time.........as long as its not allowed to dry out.
-
I agree with John, any treatment we put on to carpets (allowing for dwell time) improves the clean, as long as it doesn't dry out.
