Chemicals you don't hear much about these days
« on: March 20, 2012, 09:13:10 pm »
When I started out, not too long ago, I bought quite a few different chemicals. Some I've never used and they don't get much of a mention on here either -

Multi Pro

Anyone still using it?

Trafficlean

Strikes me as evil stuff. I'd imagine it's good on carpet tiles, but I don't suppose it'd get on well with bitumen. So what's it for?

Double Clean

Got a whole tub, never used it. Strikes me it would leave anything it touched similar to the inside of a car battery. Again, what's it for?

M Power

Seemed to be all the rage a year ago. Now barely get's a mention. Why's that?

One step

I inherited loads of this with my machine. Never used it. I don't know what it is or if it's any good

'Zap It' spotter

Anyone ever used it?


So that's what's bothering me tonight :-\

Multi Pro

Think I used it in the early days when it came with the machine..... 12 years ago but can't remember ever buying any... so that must have been good ;D

Trafficlean

Still use that on draught marks.

Double Clean

Still believe that stuff screwed up my machine at the time, so never bought it again.

M Power

Bought it once on the back of 'rave reviews' by a few. Failed to live up to all the hype so never bought again.

One step

Never used it

'Zap It' spotter

Never used it but remember reading that many did rave about it

And now for mine! Chrystal Green. I've been carrying around for years a small container of the stuff but have never used it.

How old is your bottle?

The stock we received week before last still says to mix with S777 (Crystal Green) or B109 Fibre & Fabric Rinse.

Hello Mick went to an old customer of yours out in Stanfree nice new build with black draft marks all over and they were pretty 'bum hole' about them aswell.
