Probably been posted before but what does everyone rate as the best / most suitable pre sprays on the market???

[deep-cleaningukltd]

Anything that gets the muck out.

Seriously. Depends on the carpet, degree of soiling location etc. Too broad a question for a single answer.

Er, try all different ones from different suppliers - thats the only way your gonna know cos its down to preference.

Also I am quite suspicious of newbies to the industry coming on here trying to find shortcuts. Trial and error mate, along with hard work etc etc.

Powerburst, Champion, psg and pureclean are my favs

Whats the best pre spray?
Anwser what carpet fibre are you using it on.
Would be my question..

[Shaun_Ashmore]

There's a pre spray for every occasion, you could use micro splitters many cleaners use only those but you will find that there isn't one product for every job.

It is a bit like asking ,, what is the best shampoo?


A better question would have been ,,  Which prespray do you use ,, for what and why?

[Colin Day]

For most jobs I try to use: M/S and Fineline for Wool.
Restaurants: I use Blitz or Prochem Power Burst
Sofa's: Prochem Fabric Restorer!
The latter 2 examples are rinsed with Prochem Fabric and Fibre Rinse.....

I am looking at using chemicals supplied by a company which is close to where I live to support local businesses. 

[Ken Wainwright]

I use DFC 105.  Occasionally boost with Energiser and sometimes with Prochem's Citra Boost as problem solvers.

Will freshwater rinse, DFC rinse or Clearwater Rinse as appropriate. Again occasionally boosted with Energiser if appropriate.

Safe and happy cleaning

Powerburst or Champion for me.
For upholstery Fabric Restorer with a dash of Citra Boost.

Siddeeq:

If its "probably been posted on here before" then why don't you just do a search and find out.

[Mark Lawrence]

Woah!!

Whats happened to all the last lot of replies

I think that the recent 'Moderator' assigned is waving his power badge a bit too much! What is the reason that they were removed??? as they were fine and no bad language, nothing offensive, no url's posted, no other suppliers pposted, no bullying...

SO WHY WERE THEY REMOVED??

[stuart_clark]

Ken, when you say Energiser, do you mean, the aditive booster made by Chemspec ?

[Ken Wainwright]

Yes

[Mike_Roper]

Ken , I prefer to use 105 as a rinse but find I go through loads , hence not that economical. I put 100ml to 15ltr bucket. How do you mix it?

DFC 105 can be used as a pre-spray, an in tank cleaner and as a rinse agent. So it's 3 products in one for extraction cleaning.

After consultation with my distributor and Chemspec Europe, I work in a different way but still achieve excellent results.

Mix as a hot pre-spray @ 1:20 to 1:30 depending on soiling level. Agitate E/W & N/S with Envirodri, freshwater rinse, hot or cold

For the few licensed premises I do, rarely any blacktop & annually cleaned, 1:20, agitate with rotary, and DFC rinse @ 1:256.

You'll find a little more information on the Chemspec US website. They say that for in tank cleaning use at 1:128 (as per label) But they also say that if you are rinsing DFC 210 or DFC 105, then mix @ 1:256 in tank.

I have a large house in Worcester that I clean every year. Professional family with immaculate home. Never seen any "dirt" in the 24 years I've been going. So I mix as per label @ 1:128 in tank, spray carpet with wand then rinse/extract and groom. I only use a pre-spray on the entrance/hall.

Safe and happy cleaning

I tend to use DFC 210 as prespray so might try 105 a rinse at the more economical dilution, thanks.
Also like using it on upholstery.
Mike

[richie]

Ken,
Might have to give this DFC a try. Could you please explain how to use the DFC105 & DFC210 please.

[Neil Mc Anulty]

Can prochems citraboost be added to any of the microsplitters as a prespray or to the plain water rinse?

[Steve. Taylor]

prochem state it can be added to pre-spray,extraction detergent, or rotary shampoo solutions
