Title: What product did I use on this black top Belgian wilton in Chinese restaurant?
Post by: kinder clean on June 08, 2017, 08:20:43 pm

Hi all

Cleaned another black top Chinese restaurant carpet yesterday.

(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1496948214_IMG_4982.JPG)

It was a Belgian wilton ( aren't they always ) with some slight pre-existing shrinkage to one side just to put the willies up me.

As you can see it was proper greasy.

I'm sure you all have your own ' heavy duty drop the nuke' cleaning product when faced with a similar job.

I bet most would be surprised I used Chemspec One Earth ( Formerly DFC210 Powder ) As you can see from the MSDS sheet it's not going to kill you or your customer so I wonder why do so many CC's still opt for products that surely damage your health over long repeated use?

I'm not a tree hugger, but when I started out 9 years ago I decided to avoid what appear hazardous to ones health cleaning products.

With all due respect - I wouldn't class the state of the carpets you show as "black tops"

i agree - black top is when you can't see any carpet under it cos its got a hard 'black top'

that being said, the Chemspec stuff is good

dig a little bit more  ,  i believe its just washing soda  .   One of the oldest and most common  detergent ingredients .

A product like this  is like buying organic carrots ,   u paid more but its still just carrot

Many of the detergent ingredients like D-limonene can be made to comply with 'food grade '  regulations

You would need to sure the products u percieve as harmfull are actually harmfull before discarding them as unsafe

Yeah not black top, but nonetheless good job done .

FYI blacktop is the kind of soil saturation build up that goes shiny and which you can see your face in,good enough to shave. ;D

Great job can see you extravted it did you warn about any poss shrinkage and did it? I ended up £650 out of pocket 2 years ago after cleaning a belg wilton when it shrank round edges and couldent be restretched. How did you do it ? Simon
