    Posted: 30/October/2005 at 10:22pm

Is there any particular chemicals you guys use that do a really good job?

We only have a single outlet here to get chemicals from, Fibreclean.

I am currently using "Attack" pre-spray as well as "Suspend" pre-spray.  On light colored berber i use a product called "Fibre-Rinse" to stop brownout.

I find that the "Suspend" is a decent all-round cleaner but it is very $$$ here at $48.00 for 4L.  The attack also works very well on heavily stained carpets but costs about the same.

I am hoping to find a cheaper chemical that will do the same job or better...

Any thoughts or "home-brew chemical recipes" would be greatly appreciated  

Thanks, Gordon

ask about the "Extracsolution"
 
great emulsifier,half the cost of Dry slurry and works better IMO
 
I'm going to order some "Torque-1" tomorrow

Have you been to Wesclean for your chemicals? They have a branch in Edmonton. I get good prices from the one in Burnaby

Well I'll tell you there is no need to look very far.

For the nasty stuff I believe in Enzall for the proteins and Express Lane or Ultrapac for the jobs that should be handled by the City Road Crew.

Our new favourites for some time are DFC 105 and Kleen Kuip's Enviro Carpet Prespray.

These two are very inexpensive and all natural.

Why look further?????

Does anyone know of commercial grade chemicals that are environmentally friendly?  If so, where online can I find a supplier?

 

Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?
