Hi all hope your all well. What do u fellow members use as a pre spray for 80% of upholstery jobs u do? And what do u you as the rinse (in tank) I'm currently trying prochem products at the min. Please let me no what others use a pre sprays for upholstery on most jobs ect thanks

[sean oregan]

Alltec fabric

[Robin Ray]

Prochem Pureclean, sometimes boosted with evans oxy powder and/or solvent booster. Extracted with either pureclean or acid rinse.

Used Ultimate master as a prespray again today though and it was good and very economical.

[Raymondo]

We use a micro splitter have used most of them out there and can't tell the difference.

We sometimes use a booster.

At the moment we are using chemspec DFC .

[edward coller]

I use Alltec fabric cleaner and use a hand mitt to agitate on most fabrics and a microsplttetr on buffallo, etc, then extract with T/M

[Stoots]

Ive only used fusion8 but i like it

i tend to rinse with d.i water only

[tim handley]

using fabric restorer at the moment, very good stuff. Also today i tried some chemspec heavy duty soil lifter on some particularly
greasy dirty areas on a large three piece suit, and on four dining chairs which were very very solied,  made an immediate impact and i was impressed, to put it mildly, made the job an absolute doddle!!!!

[Lewis Newby]

Tim I have a few suites next week and after doing one last week which I felt 'could have been better' I am tempted to try either of the two you mentioned. I know you said you just tried the chemspec,  but if you had to buy one tomorrow- which one? And I assume you acid rinse on upholstery, not  f90 powder like you use on carpets?  (also going to order this)

shockwave on most ,plain water rinse . even got a referral off this one

cleanish ones : Mpower

[scott johns]

nice job neil looks good I bet client couldn't believe it

[john martin]

Mike will think the top pic is just wet ! 

Shockwave on the dirtys ...M-power on the clean  , says it all really .

[neil 47]

John

I would use Mpower on dirty ones but find it takes to long to break down the oils and grease , it does but takes time .

shockwave is a  awesome product

[john martin]

yes i agree !  a product like shockwave is the way to go with these , i presume u know its about as traditional a detergent mix as you'll get .  nothing to do with MS or anything like that ?

[James Jacob]

Hi Guys... i have some shockwave... whats the process you use here? as ive never tried shockwave before...
i have a suite cushion set to clean tomorrow

[neil 47]

John , yes I know ,I also use f90 ,  I wasn't saying you had no work just that mixing chems is wasted time a bit like refining your own fuel.

James

after checking suite and it is suitable for sw then

Mix 15ml of sw in a litre of hand hot water ,
spray area to be cleaned agitate, and let it dwell 10 to  20 mins then extract with plain hot water repeat if its a really bad suite

[john martin]

John , yes I know ,I also use f90 ,  I wasn't saying you had no work just that mixing chems is wasted time a bit like refining your own fuel.

James

well Ok .    really making my own was not any attempt to save money !    just and interest , and seeing if id learn anything along the way .

[tim handley]

Lewis, dont be a tight git, buy one of each, you wont be sorry...........

[neil 47]

John

If colloid cleaners were a bit faster acting I would use them all the time .

I find Mpower great on wool and a great problem solver for smells .

I did a full house of wool carpets and not a sign of that doggy odour when they were wet.

However I ran out and refilled word dfc105 and did the last carpet straight away the doggy smell was there .

And I've just done a shaggy rug that stank of old dog and it cured that at 80/1
