Title: pre spray
Post by: david_green on February 28, 2007, 07:29:21 pm: Hi

What prespray have you found effective on 80/20 carpet with a favourite place of the dog for lying on, ie: body grease rubbed in to the pile.

Thanks

Post by: Paul_Ashworth on March 01, 2007, 08:04:02 pm: I thought you should allways use a Woolsafe approved Pre Spray for wool or 80 / 20 such as Prochems Pre spray gold.

Blitz would be ok to use on Nylon tho.

Some carpets I get to clean the ph dies before it reaches the carpet fibres, a bit like paint stripper it needs a couple of coats to remove the grime. So a liberal coat of craftex enzyme and off it comes to reveal carpet beneath.

Pure Magic for me ;D

You can't use this on Wool, people can pay £50sm for decent wool carpet and you come along and apply Hydramaster Blitz on it. :(

The fitting looks run of the mill.
The stair condition however is very worn.It looks an old stair well though.

The fitting is a sort of run of the mill-youre right. But if you check out the edges then you can see where it is "bagging" away from the riser-(particularly noticeable on bottom step in pic). This is an indication of a "quick" contract job where no excess has been turned in to prevent a "raw" edge. Tis not a problem until a high powered machine could grab a loop and pull it all away. It doesnt happen very often granted but is always a possibility. Perhaps its just me being a perfectionist but i always insist my lads install grippers right on stairs. As everywhere else.

Smarter than the average bear-i would say! The nosings have worn on the tip to possibly prove youre right.

Please check the pH levels of the chemicals you mentioned in your post
Title: Re: pre spray
Post by: davep on March 04, 2007, 09:32:28 am: You are right Shaun, its a pic looking down the stairs.. I am aware of the high ph but i tried a lower ph first and never got a result. These stairs belong to a flat above a chinese restaurant, must be 10 of them living in it.. up down up down...

Sorry to cause confusion with upside down pic!
