Scroll down, its in a liquid thou. Only £25.00 might not be the same stuff you are after

Liquid Formula 90 is a TOTALLY different product to the powdered form, don't know why it just is, pH is different, it creates a lot more foam.

John Kelly at Restormate is probably one of the cheapest suppliers of Formula 90

We are not allowed to discount Chemspec products so thats interesting.

[John Kelly]

Just twigged Chemspec had a price increase on 1st September. If you can still get it at that price I would stock up now.

Liquid F90s OK just half the dilution instructions for light soil and foams not a problem, an economical and pretty good rinse agent IMO.

Not allowed to discount? Why not? sounds like an illegal cartel!

[John Kelly]

Trouble is Philip once people start discounting you end up with people like Olympic cleaning supplies and others  who were discounting Prochem products very heavily. This had a detrimental affect on other suppliers of Prochem who were up in arms about it. Whats happens is they end up going bust but in the mean time great damage has been done to the other companies who are running their businesses efficiently and correctly. Also the customers who had bought machines from them now had nowhere to turn regarding any warranty claims. Prochem will probably have to carry the can, do you think they will be happy, don't think so.
Discounting has its place in certain sectors where it works well. I believe in our sector quality of service is whats important not price. That applies to suppliers and cleaners.
By the way an illegal cartel is where the price of a commodity is fixed and there is no competition. There is plenty of competition in the cleaning sector so that would not apply.

Never had a problem with the price of chemicals 5 litres of Formula 90 probably makes me about 4 grand.

I thought healthy competition was a sign of a healthy economy! Look at the fines imposed on the building companies who were submitting rigged tenders!. There might be plenty of out lets for a given product but if they are all charging the same where is the competion?

[John Kelly]

The competition is between the various manufacturers. You can choose from Chemspec, Prochem, Craftex, Hydramaster, Ashby's, Altech, Stapro, Solutions, and dozens of janitorial manufacturers products.
As I said when you get distributors selling products for silly prices it only does damage to the other distributors and they usually end up going bust doing it anyway. That is not healthy for any industry. Exactly the same as the pillocks cleaning carpets for buttons.

i've no idea how much my chems are and don't really care, as long as i'm not being ripped off i'll buy from my regular supplier, i'd be a hypocrit if i shopped around, penny pinching for the cheapest price.
newcastle brown! well thats a different matter.

yip. i'm a busy boy

as for the penny pintching comments. its not that i am trying to save anything. just wanted to move away from my current suppliar for various reasons and was lookin for someone else to give me a similar deal or cheaper if possible.

plus, why would i want to give extra money to a suppliar anywho!?!? we work extremely hard for our money! factor in the cost of advertising, machinary, maintance etc etc no i think i'll carry on penny pintching thank you very much
