Not me. I mix custom for each job, depending on the fiber, construction level of soiling and type of soiling. I also take into consideration the ocupant, if any. Take care, Lisa |

we carry 40-50 different products and individual chems, and we know how to mix and use them. There is no ONE product that will do it all well, even if you change your dillution ratios from job to job. I learned carpet cleaning chemistry from none other than the late, great Brian Tilton. Shawn Forsythe, Doug Heiferman, personal experience and countless others have also enriched my knowledge of chemistry as it applies to CCing. Take care, Lisa |

I pull a trailer with a full lab inside, just so I can get the right mix every time. |

Nightrider I cleaned for 16 years before I took my first class. I know A LOT about CC chemistry, but I always manage to learn a little more every day. as Greenie has always said "I'm still just a Greenhorn, always learning" i didn't have to pay those people for their help and knowledge, they are my friendsand all you have to do is ask and then be willing to shut your mouth and listen and you would be surprised how much good info is out there. Take care, lisa |

I think Jack is pretty smart. Just has some twisted views. Then again, most of us have twisted views about one thing or another.

Most university kids have less brain cells than us to begin with. After cc'ing for a while they would have none left |

Dontlikedennis......................if you knew half of what I forgot...........you would not be cleaning carpets to scrape by trying to make a living.............you would be like me posting intellegent posts challenging all who think that they have a trickle of knowledge in anything. Just your choice of name proves you have no direction in life and a narrow minded individual. By the way Lisa this CC Chemistry you talk about.........what is it........I'm sure Jim Darling from Chemspec would love to hear this one Nightrider |

I am confused. The method is the machine or equipment of choice that is used as a means to clean with. Since when has the chemical become the method by which we apply and remove the chemical. ------------- Just My opinion |

Lisa, if Doug Heiferman is one of the iinfluences, you must love Boost-All and Buff-All eh? He is without a doubt my favourite instructor of all time. |
