I hear that Shockwave is good and works out much cheaper. I have ordered some so will find out.

Only use citra boost as a last resort, well when I walk in and think it need it

Powerburst and Enzall for me.

I find putting an extra scope or two helps when dealing with a minger, along with extra dwell time. More so than adding aditives like citra boost.

what prespray are you using on lightly soiled carpets? everybody seems to be going in with the big guns, with no thought to removing any existing protector

most man made fibre in domestic home are so easy clean you could get away with just threatening them with powerburst... the dirt would just jump out of the carpet

I'm assuming from the post title that the OP wants to know the most powerful all rounder? I could be wrong.

I use formual90 as a  pre-spray on lightly soiled or the two already mentioned but at a lower diluation rates  :)

Sometimes use Pureclean if the mood takes me. Running out of that.

I tend to use Ms on everything,  if its a minger then I just scrub but have a trigger spray of stronger mix and give the stubborn bit a bit of a squirt 

any carpets not too bad just get extracted with high flow hot water

It depends on what your cleaning really and the type of soiling. This afternoon I cleaned three Egyptian rugs and two other rugs which would have originated around Afganistan about forty years old according to the owner. My obvious choice was m power. Something like citra boost would have been lethal in that situation. However there are times when citra boost would be needed on say a student let as I have done many times but since SPM and Shockwave became available I feel more comfortable with them than Citraboost.

split x from cleansmart for the boring carpets, powerburst for the slightly exciting carpets and Powerburst plus a dash of orange x for the orgasmic carpets.  ;D

Did a carpet recently immaculate apart from a dirty area near the kitchen, had to use powerburst and the inline heater to get a satisfactory result, does irritate me that the so called "safe" chemicals cannot deal with proper soiling.

Jim Spm was what i used on the rest of the carpet, guess you worked that out though, its like a lot of the other safe chemicals that i have had good results with M Power, fibresafe Gold etc but they let you down too often for my liking, although i hear people rave about them and get good results.
Did a wool berber that was the worst stains and soiling i had ever seen, used hot powerburst and acid rinsed with the Magma inline heater on full the results was incredible i could not believe how good it looked like a new carpet, could a safe, ph chemical do that

4 scoops of DC in the Hydraforce always get brilliant results 1 tub last about a year.
