Evenin all

I am new to this sight and i have to say that it looks pretty good !. i have been cleaning carpets and upholstery for about 3 1/2 years and have tried several different products but i have just had a sales guy selling a product that i have not used before. CLOVER COMET and SAS 20. i have tried them on a couple of patches on my own carpet with pretty good results though SAS 20 is very foamy. I am use to prochem products and micro splitters. what do you chaps think. and is CLOVER worth buying.

I gave Clover's orbit and comet an extended trial last year. They both worked pretty well for me. I used them as they seemed to be the most economical chems going at my local supplier. My head was turned by something else fairly recently which is both cheaper in the long run, aswell as better. So won't be using clover unless I'm struggling for supplies.

Yes. tried the lot and they are pretty good, particularly Champion, Degreaser on tassles, and a couple of others.  I like craftex but would prefer them if the stepped into the current century.

You can always get them from John Kelly, order online get in a day or two.

When I wuz a lad I will never forget the time I had to go through 3 packets of Quaker Oats to send away for a Quaker Oats Alarm clock. I sent off my vouchers and they wrote me a nice letter to say they were very sorry but they had no alarm clocks left. So here is a voucher for 3 more packets of Quaker Oats and a nice cheque for two pounds!

Now they didn't have to do that did they? But they did. I will always remember that. :)

Strangly when I did my Prochem courses they were so blatently set up as a two day sales pitch I could't bring myself to buy anything or even try any of their chems. It proved to be foolish in the extreme. I have now tried most things, but have gone full circle and now apart from one or two items that I reckon other companies do better  ( HM gel being one of them ), I now use nothing other than Prochem chems. Still a few that I want to try, and will. Wouldn't hesitate to change chems if I find somethng better.

In my day £2 would get you a steak dinner and all the Blue Nun you could drink. :P

LOve Craftex stuff but main mainstay is PC Pureclean try Olympic and clearwater rinse which Mr Gerrard was always banging on about.
