Has anyone tried Prochem's new range yet?
www.prochem.co.uk/natural%20range.htm
just wondered how many others there are out there?

I havnt tried any of the new prochem range yet, will give the acid rinse a try if the price is right.
Seems to dilute twice as far as fabric and fibre rinse.
I am more than happy with the Pureclean for now only just got used to it 100%, been using detergents far too long.

I would like someone like Shuan to test prochem , Alltecs restomate and Solutions products and compile a report on how they worked. ease of use etc
the reason I pick on Shaun is he has been in trade years
Does not apear to be in any camp
Successful
Respected

I don't think Shaun is "camp" ;). Which stockists have this new range of Prochems. Tried A & M Supplies ( who are a main distributer of Prochems) today & just got a blank look from them ::)
-
Please send me free samples and I will.

Hi Guys
Haven't tried them but might evaluate as part of the Green Carpet Cleaning Network thing.
Cheers

When they say green, does this include environmental impact in the making of them, or just in use?
-
Hi doug
When is the green sitesof yours going into action ???
-
DFC from chemspec is as green as it gets .
Works really well as a rinse for fibres and fabrics .
Its also a great alternative to microsplitters.

I'm guessing that anything Green is 100% no VOC's.
Shaun

All the ingredients in the DFC range (detergent free cleaning) are food grade, and they are listed for all to see talk about transparent .

Hi Clinton
Network is up and running, it's now a matter of promotion in two senses of the word, up the search rankings and through other media, sites etc.
Do a search for green carpet cleaning in your area.
Cheers
Doug

But is anyone searching 'green' carpet cleaning in specific areas?
I'm pleased about this range from prochem means we can sell green/eco without haveing to use micro spitters (ie. without lossing cleaning performance imo)

Ive used the New Alltec one twice now and both times I have had calls from the clients in the evening
Saying what a wonderful job I have done

Are the green network guys all going to use the same product? If so have you approached any suppliers to see if they could offer any deals/discounts for buying there products ?. Just about every supplier has a green/eco range and if you have enough people it could work out for both parties.

The answer, Bob, is no we are not all using the same green products.
I am happy using Solutions UK stuff, but open minded and willing to try others, but dont want to be tied down into any "you must only use this" thingy.
-
The cost of the product is minimal. To be honest I am amazed the suppliers make money when you consider how long it lasts
Also I get discount if I pay on time

Hi Guys
Bob,
There is certainly more than one way to green clean a carpet and I would not seek to impose my views on anyone, but it would be a bit pointless joining if you wish to clean with sodium hydroxide :o
Craig,
As for search terms , these are growing all the time, remember it has been at or near the top for a couple of years when it was one of my own sites.
Ultimately the object is high general rankings.
Cheers
Doug

Perhaps Doug is best qualified to answer this query.
Are microsplitters truly "Green" products?
My understanding is that they may be manufactured from food grade components and be safe to use, but I believe thay are not bio-degradeable. I say this because the dried residue, whether from the concentrate or solution, is just a long lasting brittle white mass.
Is it also true, Doug, that these phosphates need to be broken down chemically at the sewerage works?
Safe and happy cleaning :)

Hi Ken
The non biodegradeable nature of sodium tripolyphosphate is due to the fact is an inorganic as opposed to an organic one and therefore doesn't biodegrade.
This is true of all inorganic compounds including the most common one, sodium chloride also known as common salt.
It can however be hydrolised and incorporated into the phosphorous cycle and is broken down in this way.
We have to be very careful about taking words like biodegradeable and giving them 'god' like staus.
Cheers

Indeed. I took a bath in pure solvent last night, didn't do me any harm, I wonder why :)
