I wanted to be a porn star but phoned the wrong number and ended up on a 2 day carpet cleaning course in Leicester  :'(

Porn star, carpet cleaner - same thing?

i have used oxi-brite,  does work but wouldnt rely on it, and would only use on white/cream carpets with no pattern.


i usually pre-spray with m/s then agitate if dirt/stains are all broken up the rinse with water, if not rinse with detergent solution usually fibresafe gold from prochem at nice high temp,  works well for me.

so i guess i'm saying both as well.

ps. i'm also in norfolk ;D

Damian,

Washing powders will work but are obviously designed for washing machines.

Main differences would be they contain enzymes and bleaches.

They may also be too foamy and difficult to rinse.

I would agree though that their technology is the basis for CC products and if MS or whatever else is being hyped actually was a true breakthrough, then Persil would be using it ;)

Cheers

Doug

Andy, you make me laugh!

I have to agree to a point though, all this Green talk is a way for people to make money, especially the Government!

Just received phone call from a customer whose carpets I cleaned yesterday, whose cat had been poorly and had to be put down.As you can imagine cat wee and sick all over the place,she rang to thank me as the carpet looks even better today than it did yesterday.So the question is does nemesis continue to work after we pack up and go home?

How many other chemicals continue to work after we go?

none of them should.

considering we are talking about pre-sprays so these should be rinsed out, so how can they continue to work?

all this 'continues to work on stains even after you leave' can't be right,

ok. so what would you non m/s guys recommend??

i am geuinely interested in anything that makes my job easier.

some people like the fact that you can offer an environmentally healthy process but 60% of them couldnt care less and the other 40% care more about how clean their carpets are gonna be than how environmentally friendly i am

There's a product that's been around since the 1940's which continues to work, as long as it's wet.

The manufacturer also invented bonnet mopping and o/p cleaning.

I trialled the product some years ago and found it to be excellent, but it was a pain to have to keep importing from the States.

It's called Argosheen and it really works........OOPS, forgot, other people read this board

i used to import Argosheen ( still import their bonnets) it was a good Bonneting chemical but  like you say expensive to import.

I always wondered why they did'nt get an agent in the UK
