Obviously Powerburst wouldn't be chosen to clean wool carpets BUT if it was used and used with an acid rinse what damage would it do??

[Simon Gerrard]

None.

Despite what some may tell you nothing will happen.  For more years than i care to remember we used PowerBrust and the ones before it on high quality woolen carpets and never had a problem

[Steven Butler]

Cheers lads.
To be honest i used it yesterday and have been a bit worried because alot of things ive read say dont use it on wool but others say its ok.

[Simon Gerrard]

Used it for years on dirty or greasy wool carpets, brilliant stuff but should be acid rinsed.

Can power burst be used in tank (porti) or only or preferred as a pre-spray when doing pub/restaurant carpets and then a fresh water/acid rinse

[Steven Butler]

Cheers Simon,
I did use acid rinse, always do to be honest.

It is a pre-spray only. Re-soiling would be an issue if used as a rinse.

Watch out for leaving yellow stains on wool the enzymes can discolour wool.

rubbish

[Steven Butler]

Paul, what do u mean rubbish mate

[Shaun_Ashmore]

What Paul eloquently put was that in most cases it's fine but I recently provided an insurance report for a landlord where a wool carpet had yellow patches on it after professional cleaning, the cleaner had used an enzyme pre spray and had doused the spots with the product then rinsed upon drying the carpet went yellow, remedial work by the cleaner was unsuccessful.

I knew it was an enzyme product as the cleaner called me to ask my findings.

[Simon Gerrard]

It could just as easily have been a reaction to whatever the stain was, which may well have happened regardless of what product was used, so perhaps a little misleading to blame it on the use of enzymes IMO.

PB is an enzyme free, high PH detergent.

So if the cleaner in question used PB then it definitely wasn't any enzymes that caused the damage.

[Simon Gerrard]

Good point.

Simon

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I can see your point Simon but based on the information given and what I saw the outcome was the enzyme, the marks were grey/black protein or food marks as explained by the cleaner, years ago may be 12 years when I used to use a similar product I did send a cream 80% 20% wool twist yellow in various areas I had actually done the same as this guy luckily for me I was able to reverse the damage with acid rinse on some and reducer on others.

[Fran84]

So did he use PB Shaun?

[COLIN BRIGHT]

i use it a lot and never had a problem in fact today i was trying to be a good boy and follow all the rules but it was bloody hard work so mixed up powerburst , sprayed, left 5 mins, no agitation and rinsed, ahhhhhhhh like a knife through butter, came up a treat

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Yes he used pb and acid rinsed he also thought the carpet was pp but that's another story.
