I've had equally good results with various microsplitters, DFC and M Power. 

I haven't used it but I'm hearing good reports on a heavy duty MS from the Piskie in Bodmin.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

We often use pure clean from prochem and i must say good results doesnt seem to resoil either, or commercial microsplitter in liquid form, from the nice man in cornwall.

Hi Guys

I don't do a lot of this but have experimented with my Texatherm system.

Pureclean works well and Ultrapac prespay with acid rinse in tank also worked well.

Cheers

Hi ryan

I always give a good vac then apply the solution with a large pump sprayer(mix the solution with hot tap water)

Then spray the area leave for about a min then start bonetting.

Even used the prochem bonnet buff when i had a texatherm system :)

Might just take you a while to find a product your happy with :)

Have you got some work lined up for your l m system ???

Cheers clinton

Iv done 2 inthe last week with LM Clinton i think maybe im putting too much spray down and foaming it up,im gonna play about today on my own carpets and see if i can perfect it.Also what pads do you use for agitation i know someone mentioned on a previous post that they had made pads for this from bits of polyprop carpet.I bought a polyprop brush ( for tile and grout ) but i think it would be  too harsh on carpet.

Hi Ryan

I've been doing more LM cleaning than usual at the moment and generally concur with what Ken W said earlier. I've used One Step Fineline, Solutions HD & where needed Blitz. Prespray evenly, agitate - either with Duo or brush (if I'm feeling fit) and pad off (with an acid rinse soaked pad if required). I've been very impressed so I think you're issue  may be more technique based then solution based. Having said that some people just don't get on with one product where others love it. Stick at it and you;ll be fine I'm sure. I went to a job last week, beige polyprop - kids been running amok - usual stuff and was just stunned at how good it looked afterwards so don't despair!

I would also say use chemspec roto brite ,find it better than m power and micro splitters for bonnet cleaning.

 Just used it today actually on a large accoutancy firms carpets I do in the centre of Liverpool.

 Came up a treat :)
