I've been using it for, probably, ten years. And it works very well.

Think that's more to do with silver you can find a brief  but concise explanation about colloidal cleaning  here

It's the medical use of colloidal silver as a health benefit there are calls for it to be banned in the EU

They do work on light soiling anything heavy they struggle. But still too much hanging about for me.

What he fails to point out in his explaination blurb is that the terms colloid and micelles are formed by all detergents  .... not just the plant juice hes pushing .
Google it yourself , these are basics in all sorts of chemistry , not just detergency
eg   http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.ie/2010/04/surfactant-chemistry-micelles.html

The silver would have nothing to do with the plant detergent ...more confusion

I'm not "pushing"anything just offering an explanation of colloidal cleaning. The silver reference was in answer to his question about the banning.

Not you  :) don't take offence , I mean whoever wrote the text in the link ...is describing a process common to most cleaning products ....as distinct from describing what (if anything) is unique to the plant derived surfactant ....

Can I ask what product you used and if you heated it up to cut down the dwell time wait?

The picture below are from an Incinerator Plant where the upstairs carpets get trashed by  workers coming into the offices. This is thick protein at it's best. Removed with Colloidal Cleaner 5-10 minute dwell

Ahh i've been sussed out!  I was up all night editing photos and photo shopping pictures to make them look good! Or could it be the area BEYOND THE DOOR is the starting point for the photo. Best way to show the end result is to show a partial cleaned bit (but there again that has been photo shopped and edited about 50 times because I don't have anything better to do for 5 hours  :) :) :)
