ive read that powerburst is not suitable for wool or wool mix?
ive been using on manky wool carpets with an acid rinse to great effect
what other chemical takes the place of p-burst?
also i load my t-mount with fibre & fab rinse,is there something cheaper i can use?

I use rinse organic X from cleansmart. Dilutes at 200:1
I put about 500ml into the 5 gallon jug and set the flow to 1.5. lasts ages and neutralizes fine

[steven Banks]

It should be ok so long as you acid rinse. Have you considered high heat as an acidic rinse?
If the carpet is manky then you need something with abit umph.

Maybe try fusion 8 or M/S with that soluboost additive?

Clearwater rinse is economical, PB is fine to use on wool as long as it is rinsed correctly, or so i was told on a Prochem course years ago.

I always forget to turn on the flow rate after p/s never had a problem or call back but I always use soft water

If you mean Prochem High Heat ... I think you will find it has a pH 9.5. So is an Alkaline not an acidic. If you meant something else then what as I am curious.

Chemspec High Heat.

Sorry, i was refering to Chemspec liquid high heat   which is a Ph 3 or 4 iirc ?
It's a good acidic rinse.

We've been using Powerburst on wool carpets for years.

Prochem just say to rinse on wool carpets.
Powerburst is easily the best pre-spray on the market , bar none, imo.

Where do you get this "none" from if it is the only thing better than powerburst then

Wow!

I used it for the first time yesterday.

I had done a quote last week where the potential client said "Give us an honest opinion. Are these carpets worth cleaning or should we replace them?"

These were offices adjoining a factory, with loads of oil being walked through on to them. I told them that about a third could be saved but I did not think the rest could. They asked if I could try a few patches anyway.

During the week I was talking to Jason Hedges (Dirtbusters, Norwich - NOT the E bay one) and he suggested Powerburst (thanks Jason). He was as enthusiastic about it as Simon was above.

I did the test patches yesterday and was astounded. This black oily carpet now has a 4sq M clean, light blue patch in the middle!

The MD walked in as I was finishing. He wants a price for the whole lot by Monday morning and the job completed before September 5th.

OK, it is potent stuff and you have to be a bit careful but it is well worth trying it. It's performance amazed me yesterday.

[Warren Aldridge]

I standardize on powerburst.

I must say though if powerburst doesnt get a good result try a strong mix of Prochem traffic clean. Its not very economical but it is great and when mixed strong is in my opinion better than PB

[Linds Russell]

We had Powerburst not work to expectation on an office carpet, so we blasted it with Enzall then extracted again. What a difference!

Always a good idea to carry Enzall.

Sounds like a very good pre spray and I am always open to trying something new. I followed the link to the data sheet, I know they have to keep themselves in the clear, but wearing a half mask worries me a bit. Is this something you do?

[Simon Gerrard]

We've used pb for years and never even thought about wearing a mask.

[Bob McWilliam]

Thanks for that, I'll give some a try.
