Tried SPM again
« on: February 20, 2012, 02:42:41 pm »
Following disapointing results using SPM I advertised 15kg tub for sale, fortunately no one bought it, so I gave it another try today.

5 bed house, wool mix cream carpet, moderately dirty, lot of black spots to ground floor. Mixed SPM on site, (usually mix pre-spays at home) vacuumed, sprayed down, 15 minute dwell time, (no agitation) hwe, very little spotting required. Carpets looked like new.

Custy and I extremely happy.

No tip :o

so you tried it  found it crap so tried to sell it..... then tried it again and it worked.

not really conclusive results, you need to use the full container then make a decision

i am quite confused by SPM. The label says no optical brighteners. However everyone says it contains Soluboost which is described by Solutions as an oxygenating brightener ???

My concern is over its long term effect on Wool carpets. Does anyone know if Solution recommend it for use on Wool? Does it contain oxidisers or optical brighteners?

I agree, I'm only half way through my tub and I've had it for a few months... So far, I and my customers have been happy 100% of the time. But I will refrain from bigging it up any more until I've finished the whole tub.... ;)

I was suprised to hear it had OB because I use it on all sorts of things including my own 80/20 carpets which I have done several times over the last 12 months thanks to Fido and I can see no degradation at all.















Waits for the Ah but under a  magnifying glass response! ;D

I would think the long term effect on wool carpets is negligible( if not non-existent) as it is rinsed of the fibre within 10-15mins unlike a detergent containing optical brighteners which is partly left on the fibre.

I think the term oxygenating brightener is a descriptive term rather than a scientific one

I think I am on my 3rd tub now, works great on all types of carpets.
I would imagine using my TM to flush it out would keep carpet safe,
i always have a acidic rinse in tank.

Couldnt say if there will be any long term damage

Mike the SPM instructions give you guidelines for in tank portable use and metering concentrates for Truckmounts.
