hi guys forgetting what type of carpet it is What would people recomend as the strongest pre spray mix for tackling the dirtiest of carpets its just i done a heavilly soiled berber twist today and tryed everything but it just wouldnt shift 

[AshWhite]

What was the soil?

[craignozza]

Hi ash Hard to tell just big black dirty patches

[AshWhite]

What did you try? And where was it?

[craignozza]

hi ash the strongest i tryed was hydramaster blitz with chemspec energizer boost added . The stains were on a carpet in brighton  No realy the stains were mainly in the middle of the carpet probably were the edge of the of the sofa and armchairs were

Are you sure it was't just wear in those areas? I always explain that regardless how well you can clean a carpet, you can't put the life back into them!

[jim mca]

Enzal rinced with liquid 90 or powerburst with citraboost added rinced with liquid 90

[craignozza]

nah definately not wear ash  it was a students place so prob alcohol and who knows what else 

[John Kelly]

The trouble with Berber if it isn't regularly maintained (cleaned) is because the pile is a loop all the wear occurs over the full length of one side of the loop. This degrades the fibres over a larger area than a normal tufted carpet. This causes light to absorb rather than reflect and this compounds the dinginess. This is more marked on manmade berbers as the filaments become very rough.

a berber is a loop - a twist is a cut pile.
 What the hell is a berber twist?

  sorry was a loop - dont know why i put twist... got me wondering tho and there is such a thing as a berber twist which is a cut pile

Craig,

I'm wondering if there actually is a correct answer to this.

I used Powerburst on a really mucky (synthetic) domestic HSL last week and it hardly touched it. This was (exactly) what was left in the sprayer from a really oily factory office carpet the day before (where it shifted everything).

I then used (soluboosted) M-Power on the HSL and it came up like new. Normally I would expect to turn to Powerburst if M-Power could not do the job.

[Simon@arenaclean]

It might be the combination of powerburst followed by M-power which achieved the results, each working on particular soils. I have often used nemisis in various solutions as a wetting agent where it has worked very well where niether has worked independently, only needs about 7-10ml per litre.
