Without naming names and starting some sort of electronic riot, I would be interested to know how many brands of chemicals people carry on jobs.
I started in CC just using 1 brand, then got into 2nd but now i have found new brand and just have other 2 on van as spare. ;)
I, therefore, carry 3 brands 8)   ........ over to you.

Hi Chris,

I carry about seven 'brands', and a large number of unbranded raw ingrdients.

However, since useing your favourite products (better unnamed) I find that many of the others are used much less frequently.

Hi Chris

I too carry some 'pure' chemicals but the variety of 'kit' chemicals I carry is down to six

Thanks for feedback ;D I bumped into old workmate recently who seemed to have no more than 1 item from any one maker, he must have had at least 10+ different brands on the van. I carry 3 so i was just seeing if i am abnormal.....or is he ::)

Hi Chris

Prochem and Chemspec, no brand names on these ammonia and white vinegar.

Chemida, Chris the one I was trying out great on new and old urine, will bring to the sunny day out.

I just love like testing products going to give the micro-splitters a chance, testing one a moment (need to contact the other co for samples) I will then make a judgement decision.

Hand Is getting there, but not ready to work yet.
Chris I noticed on other board you would get chemspec cat. Well worth it, I have tried their formula 90 with excellent results and use their traffic lane cleaner, and acid rinse. Both very good and great dilution rates.

I WAS pretty much Pro Chem only with the odd product on trial.
However following your recent DEBATE  ::) I have just tested another product which impressed me greatly as I was testing it on some 'minging' carpets.
No names , but I think I have found the 'solution'  :o to my needs ;D ;)
