With all this correspondence on here about fabris protection etc what is the best one could somebody run a poll.
Or if everybody here would say what they use, and why it would be very interesting.
-
Come on guys is it a secret what you all use?????
-
I still use stuff I brought over from the states but otherwise I use "Intec"
hideously expensive but brilliant stuff. I buy it in bulk because I use so much
of it but I think it is about £70 a gallon and yes I said £70. Best, Dave.

What does it do that others do not.
-
Ian, I will send you an e-mail later on with some info. Basically it is environmentally friendly unlike all or
most on the market. The biggest difference is that you only need one application, ever. Dont know
how that is the case but I have tested it and the protection is still working after many cleans even
power washing the sample at 1500 psi and extremely hot. It really is one of the better ones out
there, best, Dave.
-
Hi Dave sounds awesome will you give me a link.
Cheers
-
I would be glad too if I knew what a link was. Best, Dave.
-
there E-Mail address ok Dave.
Thanks

Hi Dave
Just out of interest, im under the imprssion that protectors work better on wool carpets as they absorb it better compared to sythetic carpets, what carpet was your test carried out on ?
James
-
It was tested on 100% wool. I used this as it is mostly what I clean. Best, Dave.
-
i use prochems flouroseal, im told its good but yet to go back to a custys i've put it on so can't say how well it works,
i read on an US forum guy said, solvent ones are best as they penatrate and seal the fibre, instead of a coat of seal on top the fibre.
just what i read. 8)
oh and he said it makes improves appearance of carpet too.
-
I have just applied Craftex water based............ not much impressed, will try there solvent one in a day or two.
-
hi liahona why not just say here for everyone the product you use !?
-
you should be in bed Pete :P
-
nick how did you know i was just going !?
-
last time round your house i set up a web cam ;)

Sorry, my fault I thought I had said.It is called "Intec". Their web site which I now kow is a link is not
working at the moment but I did call them on it and they are going to resolve. Their phone number is
01794 301 130. Ask to speak to Sue and she will arrange for someone to give you a bell on whatever
you need to know. They will send you all sorts of stuff, pamphlets, technical stuff and of course the price
The web site when it is working is www.probar.co.uk It may just be me but I get a domain site come
up instead. Going back to the price again it is very expensive to what I am sure you are paying at the
moment. Good reason amonst many to raise the pricing for the application. I know the pricing of
protection has already been hashed out and I dont want to start a debate on it but...... it costs many
times more to buy the chemical to protect than to clean so why wouldnt you charge at least twice what
you do for cleaning. At worst the same price. Anyway for those who wil try "Intec" please let me know
how you get on as I am always open to finding other products that may or may not be superior. Apart
from a chemical I used in the states called "Protectall" I have found this one to be the best available.
Please again though if you know any difference let me know, best, Dave.
-
I have just rung them they are going to contact me dave will let you know how i get on.
-
I use solugaurd from solutions
apparently during tests it was still working after 30 cleans!
