Yes I use 90% echo and have not had a problem yet and it's much safer :)

I try and use as many eco products as possible, but sometimes i have to use non eco products because nothing else will work on natural stone.

I try to use eco stuff as much as possible, but sometimes it doesn't quite cut the mustard.

I've yet to meet a customer who really cares whether I'm using Eco Friendly chemicals or not!!!

Like a few have said, I use them most of the time, but sometimes something a lot stronger is required...

col
the reason you and i don't get asked is cos we don't emphasize eco so the eco customer would never use us. theres loads of eco custies out there i'm sure, but i don't market to them, and don't want too. i'd rather talk to my custies about the cost of maccies than the blandness of muesli ;D

Same as Colin in regards to Ive never yet been asked what I intend using to clean their carpets.

Ive tried a few Eco friendly products but have now stopped using them as I cant get good results on really dirty carpets.

I generally have the same experience. Most customers don't seem to give a monkeys whether the chems are eco friendly as long as their carpets are clean!

Not that I have any customers at the moment! ;D

I agree.

I've been let down by the eco products loads of times and have had to break out the Prochem.

It's actually cost me quite a lot of time on a few jobs.

My general opinion of the eco stuff is that it's great on a relatively clean carpet, but often fails spectacularly on anything really dirty.

Didn't think you could read Clinton? How did you go at Mr.Matthews?

I use both eco and non eco, 2 thing I would like to know is

1.How eco are they? 99%?100?50%?
2.How un eco are conventional solutions?

One thing that is told to us about Eco friendly products are that they are rinse free, can't think of one that has to be rinsed out?
