I used this product for the 1st time yesterday and i was blown away with the results. i have tried m power before and didnt seem to be able to get the desired results so went back to the detergents. I will be sticking to Pureclean from now on for most jobs.

Hi Mark
Pureclean is my stock cleaning chemical which I use on 80% of jobs.

Heard a lot of people praising it last week.
Is it just a powdered form of microsplitter or is it something different that gives better results than m/s?
-
Hi,
who supplies pure clean?
-
Prochem suppliers
-
Hi Guys
Pureclean is the 'microsplitter' ingredient, sodium tripolyphosphate.
All the other products will be various dilutions with different buffering systems.
Cheers

Hi
I have tried it on a Wool Berber & wasn't happy with the result.
I live in a soft water area, does that make a difference?
Does it work better on synthetics?

How did you agitate?
-
Just started to use it, and just used it on a Wool Berber as well and wasn't happy.
The carpet was lightly soiled cream scrubbed in with pile brush and left to dwell for 15 mins, ended up after I had cleaned it put prespray gold on, and it did the job and extracted.
I have only had one or two good res ponces from micro-split, but still willing to give things a try.
Im going to keep on trying with pureclean and see what happens on different fibers before I bin it...

I don't think there is any dwell time with m/s.
I think it needs something meaty to agitate with this type of construction.
-
I got a tub of pure clean from Restormate and half a tub of M Power of Jason last Monday on CCDO. I have tried both and so far impressed. What did supprise me was the M Power, found results excellent. Im going to carry on trialing both of these products over the next months and will put a post up of how I find them.
-
If you like M Power you'll love Nemesis. :)
-
Mike I tried it when it first came out but could not get on with it.
-
Did you have the Envirodri at that point Paul?
-
I beleive they are very similar products, I may be wrong. :-\ (except ones a lot cheaper)
So maybe ther are other variables at work like fibre content and as Pete may be hinting HD agitation.
-
You don't need a dwell time, 15 minutes and it had probably dried to some degree. Spray, agitate and rinse off.
-
Hi
Re Wool Berber, pre sprayed with pure clean agitated with pile brush, extracted straight away.
I would have thought a Berber would need less agitation not more.
Same carpet cleaned with M power came up like new!
Never used Nemisis so cannot comment.
Dave
-
Paul. I think that was the original you tried.
-
I have found with pure clean that you need to spray down enough to stay damp for at least 10 minutes, but agitate it in straight after application then leave for the required time. Seems to work better after dwell time before rinsing, unlike the usual ms products.
-
As we all know, 1 chemical will not do every job. I also found Pure Clean not to be very suitable with wool berber. Every other carpet i have cleaned though with Pure Clean has had EXCELLENT results. Depending on the level of soiling i may or may not aggitate. I have used M Power & Nemisis but found the results to be not what i expected. I have heard though that if you spray M Power allow dwell then mist over with Solutions HD that you get good results.

Did an other wool barber cream with pure clean, and extracted with pure clean and yet again really bad results.
Changed to prespray gold, and got the marks out straight away again.
Not looking good for pure clean, think I will stick with whats working.....
-
Love the stuff great results everytime
-
Steve you mixing it and using it per the lable? Thats what Im doing and haveing no results.
You can have the stuff if you want it
-
Mixing as per instructions sometimes just let it dwell no agitation.
Leave it with John and my pads too ;)
-
will do
-
I have cleaned everything from a 12 month old CLEAN velvet pile carpet to a trashed nightclub & pub with Prochem Pure Clean. The only thing that i struggled to clean to the highest standard was a Wool Berber? Dont know why this is. As i have said, everything else i got very high standard (even the trashed carpets in a pub/club) ???
Just because you had a problem on a Wool Berber dont dismiss it. Im sure you will find it to be a VERY useful chemical to keep on the van on a day to day basis (wool berbers excluded).

Ok Richi, sorry Steve, will give it one more go

It’s v/good; my temp helper thought it had the wow factor (me on par with um/blitz dumped the sermon on ms a couple of years ago still good) cant comment on M or N never tried it!
I only agitate (humble Sebo) if need be, other wise dwell time (fAg/coffee break).
Hope you lads are busy with Passover now there some challenges for you! (If I remember will take the camera tomorrow forgot it today)

Hi Phil,
Check your sprayer isnt blocked. you might think you`re spraying down pure clean on the carpet but there might not actually be anything coming out!

My experience with micro-splitters suggests that where your trials are failing is on the agitation front. M/S require good agitation to be effective, and using a pile brush just isn't enough. You require a machine. The problem with berbers and loop pile wools/blends is that the agitation may pill the pile. In which case, your detergent approach with a relatively light agitation could be the way to go.
If you wanted to use a micro splitter but stay with a pile brush for agitation, you could well be better off with a second generation M/S such as Nemesis Super or M Power. These type of products only require agitation to distribute the solution to all areas of the yarn/fibre where the chemical action will attack the soil. The first generation M/S requires the more intense agitation to physically break the soil away.
Safe and happy cleaning :)

Thanx Ken

i sprayed a filthy foam back with pure clean and i have to say it came up a treat, even the draught marks. i didn't agitate but i did put a tidy amount down as it was a one up one down for a letting agent and i wanted to get home!!

You lost me Clive, am Deep Clean "Stevenage" remember, I dont have a stupid Geordie accent or support a club who have won nothing for about 800 years! :)

And they aren't going down/bust ;D
Colin you are spot on, I find that if you put more down and with an aggressive spray not a fine jet the aggitation is done for you, but that's only with Pure clean it doesn't work that way with liquid MS.
