I used to use the exact same products Suspend Attack I still use Attack on Restaurants and such. I occasionally use Ecogent my primary prespray,rinse,spotter is Ultachem. but I don't think it's any cheaper and it works MUCH better if used in conjuction with the other Ultrachem products. The only way I find it saves me money is that it eliminates some spotters (it'll more often than not take out rust,gum,urine,filtration lines)
http://www.ultrachemlabs.com - www.ultrachemlabs.com if you're interested I find it much cheaper to buy in the 5 gal. pale |

Listen man...anything works good on nylon carpet......I like dry slurry myself, but if you run out even the cheapest stuff will do a great job.... Zep stuff is cheap and crappy...but I've done the side by side test...still worked good at my 250 dollar 50lb pail of dry slurry |

| I use a product called Torque-1 on res and Z-99 in restaurants. I've tried all the "big name" products but nothing works like these at $15.00 or less per gallon. |
