While on Ebay I noticed one Manual has a Formula for Making own Red Stain remover. Traffic Lane Cleaner.

Has anyone started or tried to make own Chemicals

Ian,

I have formulated a few , mainly urine neutralisers.

I did the experiments myself  , but had the products manufactured commercially.

When I get some time in the new year i 've got a couple of other things I'd like to try?

Do bear in mind that I spent 8 years + as an industrial chemist in an R&D Lab.

Cheers,

Doug

Ian,

When I started cleaning carpets, because the 'industry' did not exist, there was little that was available, so self-formulation/adaptation was the norm.

Whilst there are still some problem solvers that I knock up from raw materials, as a generality there are so many pre-formulated products available, formulated by far better chemists than I, that it makes little sense to do-it-yourself.

All i can manage is adding some antibac apple fresh to micro splitter
Best leave this to the experts!!

Make your own and you have all the hastle of Safety Data Sheets, Liability Insurance, Building Insurance, specialised storage and waste tanks and so on.  Do you work from home? How would you feel if YOUR next door neighbour had turned his home into a chemical laboratory and manufacturing plant? You'd need permission from your local council whether residential or business premises for change of use. I somehow don't think you'd get permission if you were working from home.

SAFE and happy cleaning
Ken

Ps MY son is Chemist

Highly unusal but I have had a FEW BACARDIS   and I was up late lasy night looking at our American Cousins

Spose we could cut out the middleman and make our own water. Can't be difficult. All you need is oxygen and hydrogen.

If making your own chemicals how would you stand in the sight of a possible insurance claim ?
i a covered provided i can show that i used the product by the instructions and dilution rates to the letter but if making your own who writes the instructions or does this come as part of the data sheets as mentioned above

[Ian Gourlay]

While I posted it in a light hearted manor. Prochem  ans Applied Chemical Products must have gone down a similar road before they started producing their own chemicals.

Len did you solve the bacardi breezer problem as I had this type of stain this week at a customers house.

Looked better when I left but we think it will reapair

Sadly no, can’t win them all.
