mix ratio should be on container
chems are a personal preference thing
I have no experience with the prespray you mentioned
I like Ultrachem's "Clean" Prochem's Ultrapac Esteam's Suspend and Attack and some others.........but these are my favorites

I've used it... Works great nylon and olefin. I was surprised with a trashed nylon rental job. Use at 4 oz to 1 gallon for prespray. Besure you use a good emulsifer/neutralizer with nylon. Tends to stiffin-up without it.. . remember its enzyme based.
------------- do it right once |

I hope you're not using it on stain resistant carpet. The pH is too high

| I use another pre-spray for that...You can lower the pH by diluting it more.... |

To get your pH lower you would have to use such a small amount of powder that it wouldnt actually be cleaning.

Have you tested it with pH paper or a meter?
|

No i haven't tested it that way....Mind you...I use a pre-spray under 9pH on the stain-resist.... And enz-all on the greasy and trashed nastys..... I have diluted at 1/3rd to 1/2 recommended depending on carpet conditions at restaurants and it cleaned up very nice..... cmaster... will it void the warranty or what will happen....I know..just wondering your answer.........

I suggest the iggest kept secret here in the States: Here is an e-mail just sent to us:
I use Cross-American ATTACK on ceramic tile & grout with excellent results so I closed my eyes & tried it on two types of stone & it worked great with no problem. Was'nt sure about useing it on stone. Way cheaper than the tile & grout stuff I get locally. |

It removes the stain resistance and voids the warranty |

Try and tell that to the $4.50/room natives. No dwell time needed? ------------- Just My opinion |

If their's even a warranty left....After it's been trashed there's no stain resist left anyways,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, In 20yrs I never had a problem with voids........ |
