Nothing wrong with that stuff. Remember it's quite strong so acid rinse it afterwards.

The residue will be high on the alkaline scale so resoiling will happen very quickly and/or could leave carpet a little sticky. The acid rinse will bring it near to neutral or even on the acid side which is better. And is a must with wool carpets.
That's the theory but not what always happens in the real world. ;)

Shouldnt leave a residue if mixed correctly and rinse with good technique. 

If the lanes are bad pre vac, prespray, agitate, dwell, rinse.

Hi,

If you calculate the cost per litre, then you will notice a difference. Apart from that, i dont think there are any.

You could rinse it with a self neutralising detergent, splitter, or go the whole hog and rinse with something like double clean.  Im still not convinced that good technique with any of these would increase resoiling rates.

However, if its wool you risk damaging the fibre without a more neutral/acid rinse.

I disagree with multi pro/traffic clean difference. If you dilute at strongest ratios, believe me you will see a difference

Used to use traffic clean but moved to multi-pro because it is cheaper. Just use a stronger ratio when required.
