What's your general pre spray? The one you use the most?
I use formula 90 it is an extraction product but it works well on the majority of what I clean.

SPM.
It's the second best white powder in the World!

When pre-spraying with Formula 90, do you also extract with it, or just water.
I mostly pre-spray with Ultimate Master and extract with the same, on bad ones I pre-spray with Power Burst.

HM Blitz on generally and rinse with Chemspec Liquid High Heat

Used to use powerburst until about 18 months ago, now use the Moss/Ingram concoction ;D , it beats powerburst and don't need to use as much chemical or even spotters now ;)
-
David - I presume then that you run a truck mount as your no1 extractor?
All the big hitting pre sprays are much of a muchness when running a porty, it may come down to the label you like the look of most! Some love the stuff that others hate.
your using formula 90, and it works for you ,so stick with it, I know its not classed as a pre spray but many on here use it that way! and it works for them also.
Power burst, Champion, formula 90, Ultimate Master are all great products! -and there's loads more!
-
Obviously it's down to preference and what you are cleaning, no good using f90 on a greasy pub. Dave I use a well diluted rinse of f90 on a lot of things but just water on a lot as well.

Come on then mossy tell all ? Your secret formula ? Lol
-
Shaun, do you use liquid or powdered F90 and what dilution ratio do you use?
At the moment I use either Pureclean by itself or boosted with oxibrite depending, so i suppose the same or very similar to spm or micro x.
-
Dave lee. Do you mind me asking as to whether you use the ultimate master powder or the liquid in your TM. If you use the powder how many scoops do you use in your chemical jug?
Many thanks
Luc
-
Ultimate master would be no good for a truck mount as they are too hot and UM stops working above a certain temperature
Stuart

Ultimate master liquid is designed for tms as Stuart has stated, powder won't with stand the heat and start to break down

Sorry to disagree Stuart, Ive used the powdered version in my truck mounts for 11 years and get superb results. I think you are referring to the fact that the enzyme is killed off above 50 degs or so. Whilst that may be true the other ingredients plus the extra heat more than make up for that.

I don't know how many scoops, I use about 650gms in a 15 litre solution jug. It can scum up a bit if mixing with very hot water, but most of this goes back into solution in the jug once it cools.

Don't ask him that Stuart - why do you think he puts posts like that - just to inflate his ego when you ask and he doesnt reply!! He got ya!!

-
Powdered f90
Shaun

Thanks,
What Ratio do you use 15ml (1 scoop per litre) ? or does it vary?

I have tried liquid and powder ultimate master but my TM doesn't like either. After about a week I find it firs up the pipes and I have problems with clogging up, I have tried the liquid a few times but get the same thing, i don't know why cause I know loads of other that have never had a problem, I find it a real shame cause I like the results, and also Chris at Alltec

soda crystal may help with firing up as it breaks down detergents

Started using Restore-it from Restormate just this week, really good stuff and 2/3 price of SPM. :P

Two unsolicited emails today from just 2 of the jobs I used it on this week.
From a pre-school:
Thank you very much the carpet is lovely and clean. You did a great job! Can I book you at a convenient time of either Mon or Thurs 4 pm to do another room for us next week?
From Mrs H: I really appreciate how clean my carpets are now. The service was prompt and really professional. Thank you.
I don't get that many unsolicited testimonials but two in a week? Probably a coincidence. ;D ;)

I know your problems with UM Colin. Is yours a hard water area? I ask that because we are a soft water area and everything, pipe work check valve etc are always absolutely clean as a whistle.
I remember that Alltec developed the liquid version of UM because some FT guys reported scaling and check valve blockages when using the powder, but as I recall they all lived in hard water areas and that was prior to the now norm, of installing water softeners in their vans.

-
no mate, this is a soft water area, I have no problems with any other rinses from any suppliers, just UM, weird! ??? ??? ???
-
Never used F90 is it more powerful than UM
I used to use UM for Pre Spray but have gone back to using actual Pre Sprays from alltec Range but I must get out more
-
Mainly Pure Clean or for mingers Powerburst or UR depending where / what the grime. Sometimes add Citra Boost.
