Guys, for those of you who use formula 90 as a pre spray,  what's your dilution rate to per 1ltr of water (1 scoop per 1ltre?

Cheers

I don't think I have a formula it's dependant on soiling I am still playing with it even years after using it but I'd go with 1 scoop per 2 litres in warm water.

If you are going to use it as prespray then I would just use what dilution you have I the tank , spray it down with your handtool and give it a scrub.

It should work fine at the standard 1 scoop per 10 litres.

Thanks chaps.  I'll still use acid rinse after the clean to make sure... especially on wool.

Anyone had any issues with it on wool?

Don't waste your money on acid rinse it can't be neutralised

only used f90 a few times as a pre-spray but 95% of the time as a rinse.

Use it on wool all the time, never a problem.

If doing textile that takes longer to dry (for example, Berber) and i've had to hit it with a higher ph pre-spray, then I'd tend to acid rinse instead to avoid potential browning probs.

Compared to just a normal water only rinse I would say F90 will give your cleaning a big boost when extracting... Don't rely in it to do all the cleaning though, been using Formula 321 as my pre spray and this achieved excellent results

Formula 90 dosent need rinsing as it self neutralises and dries to a christaline powder like encap and just vacumes away, ive used the stuff since 1999 but my prefered chemspec powder is f70 by far
