Title: one step powder
Post by: Mike Halliday on April 25, 2007, 07:56:16 pm
anyone else get a sample through the mail today of this powder?

looks very economical, the carpet upholstery cleaner works out at 31.45p/ lt of concentrate and 500mls of spot & stain remover is 39p

Read the words.  It says that Amtech are not the MASTER distributor for the UK.  It does not say they are not distributors.

We'll have to watch what the reorganisation of the sales network brings to us.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

What appears to have happened, is that an exclusive licence has been lost at the Ons Step end and they have sourced another supplier for what will be effectively, a new or maybe not so new range

I think you should contact Karl at Amtech and advise him that  he no longer in business...he will be surprised ... no one has told him yet  ;) 
He was still working hard when I spoke to him earlier today

By the way microsplitters certainly do work...I have been using them for several years now

Have to agree about m/s......................I was one of the first users of One Step and have found it to be an excellent product  " if used properly "

Tried M Power last week and got a good result, but they don't like me down there, banned from the forum " for life " although they can't remember why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mike or any body else who has got a sample of this, will you post your results on here please.

Due to buy some chems shortly and would like to try this out if any good. If it is as good as One step premium it will do me.

I tried the spot & stain remover on Saturday. Had an 80/20 light beige carpet that had a load of dog diorea on it, after removing the bulk and a fit of boaking, I applied the spotting agent worked in and waited 10/15 mins then rinsed through with fibre rinse. I was very pleased with the result, I will be getting some more, does any one no where from? The web site is not that informative. Regards Phil

Contacted them last week asking for a sample and they replied saying they'll get some in the post, haven't received it yet but hopefully will soon!

If its as good as liquid will be really cost effective.

Im a little confused, ive just had a look at the site, looks a little bit like it was knocked up in 10 minutes, there are no prices on there except the few examples.  They use the word liter instead of litre so are they american?.  In the letter i recived today they are saying that they are aware that were are bieng told they are spam but inssit thier offer is very sincere, it would be good could if someone could explain what is happening idealy someone form amtech and someone from this company..

p.s Just noticed the address at the botton

FL 34692 USA

Are they doing this becuase amtech are no longer the Main Disty leaving the UK open to other onestep distys?

Tried mine today and worked very well on carpet tiles and cream 80/20 tufted.

It says on the letter that came with it that they will be changing name from 'one step'

If the site in the link is bogus

Who sent you the powder. They must have had a price list orfer details etc.

In other words where do you get.

A free sample would be useful just in case someone wants

Tried it today not impressed at all as a first attempt.  :(


Matt I think your mate coud with some re-training if he's had any at all, how could he cock up using M-Power along with Nemesis it must be the easiest product out there to use  ::)
Title: Re: one step powder
Post by: *paul_moss on May 03, 2007, 08:59:04 pm
This is a real good marketing ploy by who ever is involved as they have only sent a few samples out but every body on every forum is talking about them and nobody even the suppliers know who they are.

Then when they show them selves the sales will flood in  :) :) :) :)

I doubt it Paul,

It looks like a re-hash of an older product that was withdrawn some time ago,

one or two notable failures with it and it will be withdrawn again. ;)



Title: Re: one step powder

 i always like to see a few well placed bad comments on a 'new' product it lets you know its ruffling some feathers ;) ;) I'm looking forward to the development of this situation.
