Well Darren, after nearly twenty years of low moisture bonnet cleaning, Encap and certainly using a pad has opened my eyes, with its potential and ease of use, Encap chemicals have come a very long way
you say Dynamal is expensive, but it isn't realy compared to proffit, I worked out the other day that 3.8 litres of releasit DS worked out at £39 inc vat but made me well over 4K ! Not a bad return eh ?

We do use Dynamall (bonnet) on some jobs, as we have allowed it in the budget.  We did 12000m2 of commercial carpet last month and made tones from the job, all Dynamall.

I find they are all a con and marketing BS.

We just buy either Vosene or Mr  Matey and boost it with a splosh of Hydrogen Peroxide from the chemists. If its a restraurant area then an extra glug of peroxide and some Stardrops added in helps boost things.

Custromers love the smell.

Last weekend we did 10,000m2 in 45 mins and charged £128.

Chemical cost was £53 so worked out at £100/hr.

RESULT!!!!

Have I got this right, you charged £128 for doing 10,000m2?!  No way would I charge so little.

Its maybe hectares, or acres maybe I am not sure.

10,000 hectares yeah that sounds right.

Maybe should have just stuck to a day rate for that. I am 6'4" and  have pretty big strides and usually pace things out when measuring.

I have found a website where I can get a Vosene equivalent. Doesn't foam as much but if I use a circle cut from an old piece of carpet and use it as a bonnet pad I get better results.

I think that is Jamie's equivalent of "I don't believe it"!  I think I heard the screams down here in Brum.

John Kelly is bringing in Revive iT Confidence a hydrogen peroxide encap with a tropical berry scent.
Designed for either LM or a an extraction prespray.

Open up the attachment to see it clean a death scene that was over a week old in the summer heat.

We did 2 miles with coal tar soap.  1 Bar of soap for 27p, and 2 hrs that's all it took.
