Is anyone using any of the green pre-sprays or detergents? If so which ones? What sort of results are you getting? And can anyone recomend a brand available in the US(Im located in upstate NY). I was given some samples of Jon-Don's Matrix Planet Guard TLC, but I see that the PH is 12! hardly suited for stain resistant carpets. I will try the Planet Guard detergent sample though.
I spent 20 years drycleaning with perc, so I figure it's time to stay away from the toxic solvents. Also I hope to market to a "green" customer base exclusively. Thanks in advance of any insight.

I use Chemspec DFC and find it works great as long as you give a bit of dwell time. ------------- Just My opinion |

| This is a simple question that needs a straight forward answer, it doesn't require sarcasm or humor, thanks. If anyone has experience with "green" chems, I'd appreciate some 411, thank you. |

You already got the answer mate!
DFC 210 DFC 105 DFC Heavy Duty ECOgent all made by Chemspec http://www.chemspec-europe.com/ http://www.ecogent.ca/ They all work if you let them dwell, have enough heat with your truck-mount and scrub the solution in before you exctract. |

We have been using DFC products for well over a year and they work for us as Doug said give them a bit of dwell time and you will be happy camper. DFC products work well in both HWE and low moisture cleaning systems ------------- DON ELDRED YOU CAN "STAND" ON OUR REPUTATION |
