extraction pro works great if used with odour fresh on urine contaminated carpets after pre spraying with urine neutraliser, on it's own I find it works great on old neglected draylon upholstery, I used the extracta chemicals years ago and never had any problems with them. never tried craftex though.
                           
                                  all the best

you have to be careful when using craftex champion on carpets it has a ph of 13.5 its really a hard surface cleaner and not for carpets but saying that I have used it myself on greasy restaurent carpets1

I use Craftex Premium Powder and swear by it.
Champion and Multisolv are great as a pre-spray,
with a hot solution of premium powder i've amazed some pub landlords.
Champion is also great when added to the tank as a booster on very bad carpets
but unless they are very bad it can cause some foaming problems.

PS tried my sample of Alltec Ultimate master from the show, and would rate it lower than
Craftex.

Champion is 13.5 undiluted.  Not sure if it changes with dilution or not.  Best, Dave.

I am in the process of trying out different powders.
At the moment Double Clean (impressed so far) and just purchased for the first time (have yet to use) Ultimate Master.
Prior to this I have been using Craftex's Premium Powder or M-Power depending on Job, have to admit though am still searching for the best Chemicals to be used on high wool mix carpets especially light coloured ones.

ahoy-hoy andy, i used craftex champion on a minging indian carpet after reading that it was the dogs doo dahs, it was rubbish, reverted back to powdered enzyme and saw a real difference. that said, it is good for bad domestics, just not heavy grease.
