I thought i was the only one :-X  i love it when you open the lid and see it's half empty sold by weight apparently the liquid version even more of a rip off.

Powerburst is good though ;D

Never rated the powdered version, but I don't have too much trouble with the liquid one.
If there isn't enough time to do the job right,  how do we find the time to go back and do it again when the customer is not happy ?   Do it right the 1st Time.

james what i do is put the soap bar in a truckmount waste tank sock and connect it to the upright in your waste tank at the bottom stops soap getting coveed in crap and also blocking the outlet

Just googled antifoaming for carpet cleaning machines and it suggested "salt" as an affective defoamer, and "dishwasher cleaner"

i used to use the powdered stuff until someone recommended a bar of soap-it really works!

It's also worth cutting some into small cubes and sucking them up the vac pipe as it coats the inside of the tube.

Good idea about the sock!
