Title: Cooking Oil
Post by: Ian Gourlay on March 19, 2009, 08:42:31 am
About to go out and Survey a job

It appears customer works for a cooking oil recycling company he comes in the house and spreads the oil which is on his shoes etc about the house.

although I havea range of products to deal with oil fat etc  do you think this stuff will come out.

I understand Mrs Customer has tried herself.

I would use Powerburst Ian, and acid rinse. Should come out.
I have done car showrooms with oil everywhere and always get good results.

I remember training a new colleague to use Dry Fusion on a kitchen which had had hot cooking oil spilt 2 years previously.

A picture paints a thousand words.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

powerburst with either grease breaker or citra boost should do the trick, acid rinse to follow obviously.

The gentleman was a widower with terminal cancer. He was registered blind and shuffled around in his slippers and dressing gown all day.  He had no family living locally and, from memory, it was his home help who persuaded him to have all the ground floor cleaned.  Sometimes, ignorance can be bliss.

I elected to use D/F because we needed everything dry ASAP and had to return all of his furniture EXACTLY before leaving.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

I used the same one today on a very very very bad lounge carpet, marvelous! charged £100 to restore it and £20 tip! now that's not bad as round here they pay in old pennies!!

Ken,
I am glad there was a good reason but sad about the circumstances.

Really pleased though you did a good job. And it really does look good.

I used Enzall on the carpet of a transport office once. Sprayed it on, brushed it in with roto and left it for a while.

Rinse extracted  it with Acid rinse, he couldnt believe the difference.

Brill stuff.

I use Hydramaster Blitz in these situations - always works a treat, followed by their Clearwater Rinse.

Blitz was recommended to me. I find it ok but must admit Powerburst seems to clean easier with less effort. When cleaning with pb the stains just seem to come out easier and for some reason my wand seems to pass easier over the carpet.
