If you know that little about it, should you be using it on customers carpet?
Why not use a properly formulated product that is predictable in use?
The cost is pennies.

I'm not that stupid, of course I'm not going to use it on customers carpets straight away. I have plenty of at home to try it on.

When you say 'millelitres per litre' what do you mean
Sodium Percarbonate is normally a solid oxidising agent that breaks down into Hydrogen Peroxide when added to water that then produces your so called oxygen boost

On certain stains I would use ca 25grams per litre.   As for using it for general coverage in a pre spray - I wouldn't bother.  You can get presprays that already do that for you

Sodium percarb is a great chemical. It is widely used in carpet cleaning and is marketed by all the manufacturers under different product names.
You can use up to 8 scoops per ltr depending on what you are trying to do.
In presprays it is a great stain digester. Get more info by reading the instructions on oxibrite or similar.

I find 1 15ml scoop per liter of pre spray will suffice as a booster/ brightener. The prochem powr burst scoop will be.perfect if you have it
