I am glad that solution no 2 and 3 things cleared up, as I thought they were the same product in different dilutes, as the product data safety sheets are the same!!  or maybe that's changed?

Microsplitting wars!!! LOL.....
Now someones going to have to invent something totally unique again....

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Guys ,

Although it does say on the Solution No.2 bottle ,

Quote

'Solution Nr .2
Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is a highly effective universal
cleaner that can be used with all cleaning systems.Also available as a ready to use spotter(Solution Nr 3)'

Nick is adamant that it is in fact a seperate product and we must respect that.

However an easy mistake to make and one which I have made myself in the past.

Maybe it has not been translated correctly.

On the Craftex microsplit I used some today, on a carpet which was adjacent to  one I cleaned  last week, with Sol2  with very similar results.

It is obviously in the interest of us carpet cleaners to have a range of suppliers competing on both price and quality as this keeps the quality up and the price down.

When I was in R&D a significant part of the job was trying to make sure we had alternatives for all our suppliers in case of fire etc.

Cheers,

Doug

Hi Guys

So let me get this right what everyone is saying that cheap is good?

I know that if i look at something its value that i look for.

if cheap was the only way a company would only be around until a cheaper one comes along.

not good just think about it!

would you like your customer know that  you bought your products on this basis?

advancement comes from taking a product and improving it. ok at first it might be more expensive, but again if its improved then its offering you more.

if you arec smart you would think before you spent out all that money producing a product that it had a edge over the compertion. if this product is better what makes it better? its not its the same. and nothing but spin.

Ian, theres a spelling mistake under your picture

I always wondered if I ran out of solutions if I could get a bottle of spotter and water it down and use it as a pre-spray.

Ian,

We all try different products to see if they are any good.

Obviously if two products give identical performance and one is 20 % cheaper than the other, then most people will use the cheaper one.

This is what happened , broadly with One step and Solutions I believe.

When I was in selling we didn't have cheap products just low cost

I clean to the best quality I can as I'm sure most on here do and chemical cost is a small but significant factor.

If someone comes out with a product which cleans better/quicker then obviously cost is less important.

Cheers,

Doug

An old fashioned company who hasn’t got a computer! coming up with Microsplit? Is it the same as the wolf with bit and bobs added?

Len

[Lee_Pettengell]

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a website for Craftex.
Think I need to give their stuff a try at these prices.

Paul

[Doug Holloway]

Paul,

Craftex do not have a web site which is a bit suprising in this day and age.

Having said that it amazes me how many supplier web sites are out of date or just do not give the relevant info.

I have used Craftex Microsplit which seems to give good results within the limitations of these type of products.

Cheers,

Doug

[Paul Phillips]

Cheers Doug.

Guess I'll have to go back to the dark ages and use that contraption known as the telephone!

Grrrrr

Paul

have you found the same as me, for instance a dirty ground in cotton / polyester suite, I use o*e st*p, it will get the dirt out, but not the greasy soil :... 1- 8 with agitation

Are Craftex owners not members of the Plymouth Brethren? If this was the case that would be why they do not use computers etc.

[Fintan_Coll]

Please excuse my ignorance, but why will the  Plymouth Brethern not use computers?

[Ian Gourlay]

What I find strange about lots of supply companies in this business is they make little effort to pursade you to buy their products.

Maybee they target the big spenders through info gained from Cleaning mags.

[John Kelly]

As far as I am aware they use the minimum of technology so as not to disrupt gods messages.

[Len Gribble]

I cleaned an office carpet last year for a supply company, they also have, religious beliefs, and no computers, did have very nice cars though! EVERY ONE TO THE OWN!
