Has anyone here ever tried a industrial degreaser on any of
those hard to clean restaurants. I have some titan & some
industrial purple in the shop that i use for power washing. Would
it be crazy to use this for carpet.

I agree the purple works well, but don't you find it leaves heavy residue?? We used to do a major steakhouse years ago with purple, I would go back to get a cheque in three days its getting dirty already. I like Enzall with lots of dwell time and heat. |

Castrol Super Clean as a booster for caked on grease
rinse thoroughly with HOT water but an enzyme with high temps will usually do the job. Edited by Steaminpile |

If you all think Enz-all works great......which I also used at times you have to try Power Burst by Prochem. Enz-all says to use 10 scoops for a 5 gallon mixture ( that's 2 scoops per galloon) If the restaurant carpet is moderate to very greasy.....FORGET IT......I just finished a job and had to use 15-20 scoops per 5 gallon mixture for it to work. Power Burst by Chem-Spec on the other hand for that same restaurant I was only using 7 scoops per 5 gallon mixture and it was beautiful, this stuff cleans way better and the dwell time is not more that 30 seconds -1 minute. Too bad I ran out of power burst and had to use Enz-All ( which I got for free as a sample) That crap cost me an extra hour and a half cleaning time, truckmount gas. and labour. Try both and see for yourself. |

You sold me on the dwell time as this restaurant is quite warm
& has lots of air movement. Its hard to clean before pre-spray even
dries.

although some degreasers will work on a greasy restaraunt carpet, it has not been formulated for carpets. there many enzyme and other carpet degreasing presprays and rinses that do wonders. try chemspecs enzyme powdered prespray and follow it with chemspec fomula 70 rinse detergent. make sure that the carpet will tolerate the high ph of these chemicals. if your concerned about leave the carpet too alkiline, spray some chemspec browing treatment lightly after cleaning. i say chemspec only as an example. prochem, esteam and others all make comparable products. stay with carpet carpet formulas and you will clean better, safer and not be liable for damage.

the thing about the word "impossible" is that it is mostly "possible"

Let me warn you ALL ABOUT Z-99. STAY AWAY.......I KNOW THE COMPANY THAT MANUFACTURES THAT PRODUCT. THEY ARE LOCATED IN LAVAL, QUEBEC.JUST NORTH OF MONTREAL. IT WAS NEVER MEANT FOR CARPET CLEANING AND THE CHEMICALS IN THERE IS ENOUGH TO KILL YOU IF USED ON A CONSTANT BASIS.JACKBLACK, IF I WAS YOU CAREFUL THIS STUFF DOESN'T GET ON YOUR SKIN TOO MUCH BECAUSE ONE OF THE PORTS ON ENTRY IS THROUGH YOUR PORES. IT MIGHT WORK VERY WELL, BUT DON'T FORGET YOU'RE BREATHING ALL THE FUMES........AT LEAST WEAR A MASK DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE. NIGHTRIDER |
