Richies comments are spot on to my findings.Pure Clean has become my main cleaning solution  for domestic synthetics.

many people appear to be saying that M power is not as good as they first thought it was

Richie,   
                                                                                                                                                       Colloidal cleaners have been around for years and I had considered importing then when reading about huge dilution rates, but what I found out about colloidals, is that they were developed for the Laundrette type industry as a prewash emulsifier , rather than a cleaner, by describing them in language that suggests they are NEW TECHNOLOGY is IMO misleading to say the least.

As an emulsifier, they will assist with the cleaning process, but, are they better than, or as good as, traditional presprays.

What the * ***** product is not, is new technology.

Totally agree with that.
This is the main reason i get fed up with the * ***** company because of the BS hype.
Some people think they can re invent the wheel.

[carpet guy]

There are, I'm sure, some excellent products in the " U S " and I have been knocked back several times, when asking about importing. Too much trouble to fill in the expo documentation!

How does Dave liahona get his stuff.
I may be worth Dave ordering a load of stuff  and we can all split it.

[richie]

Pure Cleans ingrediants may not be new, nor are the mpower (or so ive been told).  The main thing is that it works.  The main fact is that it works VERY WELL on  everything ive tried it on.  Surely this is the most important thing about ANY chemical.

Richie.

[Buster Ingram]

In our industry there is not very often something new it's only re-package and applied differently.
For me I tend to find a product and stick with it call me old fashion but after 28 years they all do the same thing. 

[Buster Ingram]

If someone told me that the water from 20 virgins cleaned carpets with fantastic results I certainly would not scour the country looking for it    Not me I stick with what works for me

[richie]

long time no see/hear Daddy Ingram.  Hows things with you mate?   

Richie.

Richie

I was NOT referring to the Prochem product, which I'm sure is the result of much research.

Dave

I agree about sticking to what works, but I have always been happy to try other products and judge them by results, as at the end of the day, we want a good result for minimal effort and reasonable cost.

[richie]

When given the chance i like to try new products.  If i were to keep different pre-sprays in the van i would choose (not in any order).

One Step (carpet & upholstery)
Prochem Pure Clean (carpet & upholstery)
Prochem Power Burst (carpet)

All of the above work well on all carpet fibres and give you the carpet cleaner & your customer the results that are expected of the HIGHEST STANDARD. 

Richie.

[Buster Ingram]

Hi Richie, I'm keeping very well now I'm living in cleaner air out here in the country,

Carpet Guy,
Its a funny old business this and what I find is we only get one shot at cleaning a carpet so to fanny around trying different solution on clients carpets can work out expensive if it don't work the first time round. That’s why I tend to stick with tried and tested products and those are the ones that have been around for a long time with trusted companies. When these said companies bring out new products you can safely bet the have been tested to their limits before they have unleashed them on the trade. So the fast bubbling light rinsing mind blowing agents that come out from time to time I leave for the opportunists to use and complain about.

[richie]

thats what i meant to say Dave

Richie.
PS
What TM you running now Dave?

[Buster Ingram]

For my declining years I have CFR machine. Carpets don't get dirty down here they just get dearer

[richie]

Richie.
