hello,
has anyone ever used soda crystals to break down thick kitchen grease out of a carpet?
I was speaking to a fellow carpet cleaner ni the pub the other day and he did a job in his local. grease from the kitchen floor was all up the stair carpet and along the landing. he mixed up a mild solution and pre sprayed the lot and then obviously extracted it. he said it worked a treat and only cost him .79p!!!

The H&S risks are significant. I wouldn't dream of doing it. It will also trash wool, probably nylon too.
Even though you add to cold water, the reaction produces quite a bit of heat. That may give you some appreciation of what you are dealing with.
Keep it for the drains.
SAFE and happy cleaning :)

I wash my nappies and bonnets with about an egg-cup full of soda crystals in the detergent tray (as well as a little regular detergent in the ball thingy inside the machine).
Brings them up a treat :)
Wouldn't spray it all over a customers carpets though!
