I agree about sticking to products that deliver regular and reliable results........Over nearly 30 years I've tried just about everything that's appeared on the market.

I moved away from Prochem, Butchers and others as I felt they created too much foam something that was absent from One Step when it was introduced and which I've used ever since along with a few others, including Argosheen and Chemblend powder.

When I had a portable this was a problem sometimes and found splitters solved this. Never have foaming issues with the truckmount unless someones dumped a whole bottle of  shampoo.

I'm in an odd situation where I still don't know what I'm going to buy next! I think I said at the beginning of this thread I was going to start using Prochem again, then on Saturday used MPower and Fusion8. I don't want to end up with a shed full of unused chemicals like I have in the past.
 Working through a tub of Formula90 at the moment, it's ok I suppose but rapidly going off the supplier!
Believe it or not quite impressed with Multi Pro as well but it doesn't get mentioned much!

[Joe H]

I have ended up with "a shed full of half used this and that", but these last couple years have seen some remarkable stuff coming out of Cornwall. Its not quiet a one stop shop but its getting there.

House up for sale at the moment, so this "shed full of half used" stuff will have to be cleared sometime (soon if these banks would get their finger out and start lending).

Will be looking for someone local to take the stuff away.

[robert meldrum]

" Shedfull of chemicals " is what I ended up with when I bought a van and equipment two years ago from a guy who was retiring................it was all Prochem stuff and I'm still working my way through it, slowly, including Multi Pro, Browning Prescription, Urine Neutraliser, Enzime Prespray and more.

I also have a small amount of Chemspec and Texatherm product, which are just being nibbled at rather than chucked out.

Prochem for me... I have have tried other stuff but Prochem stuff is quality.

[Joe H]

Is that guy down in cornwall still flogging springwater with a fancy chemical label. He ripped off loads of people with this allerg stop thing, and yet the mugs still flock round him.

Oh, and them machines that look like flimsy council bin carts on dodgy little casters with a bent piece of metal called a handle on the back. He must be making them in his garden shed. 

He wants drowing in his primary chemical source,, cornish sea water.

I have reported this post to the moderators as I find it unpalatable reading.

We all have grumps about suppliers and express our opinions giving reason,fair do's.

But this post has in my opinion gone a few steps too far, and I am talking particularly about the last sentence. 
It was said 3 days ago and has been playing on my mind.

Am I alone on my thoughts here, or was anyone else of the same opinion???

[jasonl]

I agree Joe , a few months ago standards were going to be raised , people (including me) continue getting away with saying any old rubbish , cyber bullying and slander.

[Billy Russell]

I agree with you joe!

[CleanerCarpets]

Joe - you know i agree, i am still waiting for 'Matt' to stand up and be counted as asked

[gr cleaning solutions]

I started this post off asking about prochem chemicals and i have been following it ever since and i have to say i think it gone to far , i use this forum for help and advice and to learn not to read people slagging other people and stuff off . Its does get a bit childish some times.And well said joe 

[wynne jones]

Is it the drowning thing? (personally I think this was a joke) or is it you don't like the idea he thinks you are a bunch of muppets for falling for Nicks marketing time after time?

[Carpet Dawg]

Joe, apart from that last sentance (which i'm sure was said as a joke, but still shouldn't have been said) i dont see what is wrong with Matt's post... there has been alot worse things said on here.

Its not like he mentioned the companys name in question.

[Joe H]

I did say it was the last sentence.

Things like that should not be said even in jest, in my opinion.

Whether he thinks me, and many others, are walters for using the products from that supplier does not bother me.

[wynne jones]

Joe

I think it's worse if it was something believable.

I'm sure you have said something like 'he needs shooting'. But if someone says I'm going to get in my van, come down there and beat him up,  that would be far worse in my opinion because it's something that someone actually may mean and possible. In fact I have seen that on a forum and it might even have been this one and not a dickie bird. But as usual I think it depends who is saying it, rather than what is said.   

[Joe H]

On October 19th 2010 one of the mods,Ian, said this

"Please do not insult suppliers."

Here is the thread it was said. I have looked at the posts and cannot see anything too serious to warrant a comment, but a comment was made from Ian, a moderator, at 12:38pm.  I made a flippant reply the very next post.
http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=110425.0;all

For what appears to be a much more serious comment - nothing said at all.
(and please dont say he didnt mention anyone - all but newbies on here WILL know who he was referring to).

I reported it to the moderators and not a dickie bird so far come back.

Is there a set standard to be applied across the board, or is a blind eye being taken in certain cases when it suits ?

[wynne jones]

I can see your point Joe. Maybe Ashby's had recently promised they would be advertising on the forum in the next few weeks.

I still make the point if someones rant is so out of this world and verging on the rediculous, which I think it was it actually has far less of an impact than something more 'reasonable' but believable.

I think you should frequent the general forum occasionally Joe, that will make your eyes water.   

[Mike Halliday]

Joe how did you report it with the button at the side? not seen anything myself where does the report go i wonder, probably to the admin.

do you think Nick gives a rats bottom what matt says i sure he thinks he's a idiot. from what i can see its only you that offended by the comment.... are you Nicks dad or something

Nick reads this forum and I'm sure if he wants he can contact us himself...... he doesn't need you to stand up for him

[Joe H]

Mike - I shall ignore some of your remarks which are pretty much as expected.

As for "from what i can see its only you that offended by the comment.... "

read again the 4 posts following my post at 7:50am today and come back and tell me your thoughts.

[Matt Seymour]

I don't personally have a problem with Matt's comments.

It's him that has ended up looking like a bit of a plank as a result and if he doesn't rate the "cornish seawater" I suppose he should be allowed to offer his opinions (even if they are a bit extreme, but albeit tongue in cheek).

I notice he hasn't been back since making those comments anyway.
