Where did you gather that info from Derick?


better still Dash, for the most eco friendly  try H2o    ;)  

Ive tried mpower, not impressed, I've tried nemesis   with a little more success ,but have reverted back to more conventional chems, far better results imo.  I have thought how many of my customers actually ask for eco friendly cleaning, and I,m stuck to think when the last time was!!!

The eco friendly fluids I use WITH SUCCESS are .... in order of usage

M-Power and Nemesis

Pure Clean

DFC210

I have been asked by potential clients if I use "green" fluids - not often though.

but when I am talking to people over the phone or face to face I do promote "green" fluids and lot of them are pleased at this. (bit like NCCA - you got to promote it to get the benefit).

There are times I have to use something stronger and in the detergent line but I am in the business of carpet cleaning and at the end of the day thats what I have to do.

i find pure clean really good, it will perform on most jobs excepting real mingers and it's easy to mix etc,

i have had some sucess with one step M/S premium and fineline but generally only use for maintanance cleans as it does not cut through like detergants.

for me M/S's are for post bonneting, freshen ups and any stains that struggle to be moved with detergant, which is very rare.
never been asked for eco and never will cos i don't advertise it. its a good niche angle but i prefer mainstream.

I am not a big fan of microsplitters but I know some people swear by them.  Some microspiltters (possibly all - I'm not sure) are high in phosphates so many would argue that they are not as green as they are cabbage looking!

My personal choices are from the Chemspec range.  Ecogent is mutipurpose (different mixing ratios): prespray, portable, TM stock solution, filtration line remover and it can be used for hard surfaces too.  It isn't cheap and can be a bit foamy and leave a bit or a residue.  Equally good are Chemspec DFC 105 rinse and DFC 210 prespray - this combination is very green and leaves no residue.

Quite frankly, IMHO i think any client who wants a 'green' soloution to their cleaning problems should have thought long and hard about that before getting things in the mess they do.

green cleaning!

arrive on a bike, eat an apple for energy then get out your mop and cold water and start work, then use hand fans as dryers, hard work but boy can you call your self green. ;D

You know the ones. They use Ecover and grow their own vegitables.

They also have 2 cars, one is a Toyota Landcruiser or a Range Rover Sport to take little Jack the 30 mile round trip to the best school 'in the area'

But your three scoops of Powerburst blew a hole in the ozone layer. ;D

Give them what they want and let them sleep sound at night.
