You could always add a bit of Greasebreaker to some Pureclean or similar.

Interesting?

Bio logical liquid is an enzyme product for fabrics, put some defoamer in your tank and should work a treat, don't forget to rinse  ;)

a lot  distributors don't actually carry stock. you order it from them and they just order it from who ever makes it.

I would guess from its name its a d-leminine(sp) product, I would search out anther such product, most of the big manufactures make one, how about dry fusion.

it does work a treat, i tested it against m/s, natural orange, fab restorer and a real heavy duty one. on an acrylic mix suite, natural orange and daz were the clear winners. posted it on here and got shouted at. apart from being un professional, don't see the problem meself.

Have you tried John Kelly's Citrus Concentrate, pretty amazing stuff, we're now using it on all sorts of cleans.  The girls use if as a multi-surface cleaner at 100:1 dilution, which is what I originally got it in for, however we've now just started using it as a pre-spray at 20:1, also using it neat on a cloth to get rid of black marks below the windows on caravan exteriors. 

At £14.95 for 5ltrs it's pretty cost effective as well.

After reading one of Martins previous posts have been trying Bio logical liquid (Tesco's own £0.79) watered down.
Mainly been using for post tenancy cleans on manky kitchens where it works great as he has previously mentioned.
But also been using as a spotter on carpets and upholstery, hasn't failed so far to get anything out.
Did some cream dining chairs last week, food stains all over them, prespray barely touched it, used aboved mentioned as a spotter and it disappeared before my eyes, great stuff, cheers Martin.

glad I have heped.

i use Persil everyday for my cleaning, great for greasy extractors. Also used on paintwork, windows, UPVC, kitchen/bathroom tiles and like you as a prespray, works a treat, especially on blood.

I guess because it's not endorsed by one of the many chemical companies there some may feel they are being unprofessional by using it, but many of the enzymes are probably used in enzyme products anyway.

If we realize that Bio Logical liquid (persil) sole purpose is to break down proteins and fatty deposits then it should make sense that it will work on upholstery and carpets.

I would ask anyone to try it and get back on here with the results, it will only cost £3.00 to find out and you may be surprised at the results.

i would be a bit careful on using washing powder type cleaners, i once cleaned a carpet for a lady who had yellow streaks all over her beige carpet, the previous cleaner had used daz or something similar and it had bleaches in it which reacted with the wool,

a wise man once said

safe and happy cleaning...

dare say i might try washing powder as a last resort if i was proper skint - do you choose to carry it in a plain brown bag? and mix it in secret??  :o

aren't we supposed to be careful with any type of cleaning solution, wasn't there a thread on here not long ago where ultrapak renovate had done the same such thing.

Hi

For general cleaning, powders leave a residue, I only use liquid. Same for spotting, use a liquid.
