Hi Steve,

I've used little else for 20 years.  On the odd occaision I've had to use Prochem or something similar but Craftex manufacture or supply virtually everything I need.

I've heard that too Stu, Craftex Microsplitter, competition is no bad thing eh?  Seems like quite a few MS are appearing now I look forward to test driving them all in due course.

THey cant be cheaper than Woodbridge for vac motors.

I saw an advert which said carriage free for Crafrex is this correct, as they also stock other makes of chemicals

Craftex have now launched their own microsplitter £11.95 per 5 litres.  £2.95 half litre RTU spotter.  I did a blind test with 2 other brands and this one came out best!

Just spoke to Craftex, their MS, just launched today, consists of only one product for all carpet types, dilution ratio of 1:5 for heavy soiling, 1:19 for standard soiling, pH 8.4, they are claiming that it is woolsafe. 

Spotter is basically 1:5 dilution in a spray bottle.

Price £11.95 /5 ltr postage free over £40.00

The label reads 'safe for use on wool' I don't think it's 'Woolsafe'.

This product sells for £11.95 per 5 litres and Solutions No 2 is £17.62, how many cleaners buy 25 litre drums?

Nobby, sorry you're probably right, that was just my interpretation of what they said, there was no claim that it was Woolsafe approved.

No problem, it's a fine line between 'safe on wool' and 'woolsafe' but quite an important one!!

Hi Guys,

I have just spoken tom Jason , the product is safe to use on wool but not 'Woolsafe ' approved as none of Craftex products are submitted for testing.

Price is £47.80 for 4 x 5 litres , delivered.

Cheers,

Doug
