I dont think so, but dont know dont care, its all i use on every suite and i allways gets results.

Iv been using it for a year, its allways worked, and never caused a problem.

Thats good enough for me, if it aint broke dont fix it.

Hi Guys,

To remove grease it is best to use reasonably high temperatures.

This will have two effects, firstly the chemicals will work better at higher temps, more energy and secondly the higher temerature will soften/melt the grease thus allowing its removal.

One of the problems with a lot of this microspitter hype is that some of the fundamentals of cleaning have been lost in all the bull.

I would use 65- 70C and flush the water though the tool before starting so that the exit temp is near to this .

Cheers

Doug

Agree with Doug about temps, thats why its good to use the fabric wash, mixed in a bucket with hot water.

As most portables lose the heat in the hose, with all the stopping and starting with suites.

Wouldnt waste my time with M/S,s!! There is no substitute for a good cleaning chemical that is pre-sprayed to loosen it all then extract with................Hang on im not giving my game away!! :o Needless to say microsplitters are a good thing in that they create jobs for blokes(or ladies, who drink fruit juice and the odd glass of wine!) in creating plastic containers for them to be filled!! Nowt else  ;D

Flotex is easy but you have to be aware of wicking problems on dirty ones. If you aren't thorough enough it can dry patchy. Good thing is you can go over and over it without fear.

Yes your right Micro Splitters are probably the biggest fads this industry has ever seen.
I dont understand it I really dont, are people blind and unable see the differance between them and proper chems. If people do insist in this type of cleaning why dont they just use water to pre spray. The results are the same!!
