Title: Viro-sol vs TFR
Post by: duncan h on September 08, 2016, 06:54:29 pm
Used Virosol for years, with good results. Watched some video clips of people using TFR, with good results. Some guy posted a TFR saying it was the dogs.
I noticed it had the clover in the corner (same as virosol) so I contacted Clover asking them which is better for what I do. This was the reply

 The Magnum Force Extra product is more aggressive that the Viro-Sol, and must be diluted down more to prevent damage to surfaces. Both products must be rinsed off thoroughly after use.

Clover sell quite a few products don't they  ;D
If your are refuting to Mr Hype on bookfarce don't be taken in by his bullcrap as dish soap will work just as well.

I often use G101 or Virosol after I've washed the worst of the green off to be sure it won't stain.

I found what makes high alkaline chems stain white plastic yellow like ubik etc if mixed too strong seems to be the reaction with the dirt. Once it stains yellow is near impossible to shift too. I've had this happen on more than once job which put me off using strong alkaline chems altogether.

Never had any problems using Viro-sol. My point was, as the manufacturer says TFR is stronger, it should be better.
They arnt bothered which they sell
