Craftex catalyst
« on: September 08, 2011, 06:02:31 pm »
I was sent a sample of this to try as i have yet to find a chemical that i am satisfied with for bonnet cleaning, i found the results to be fairly good but the dilution rates that are specified on the product say are 4/1 i found myself using about £10 of chemical on a £180 job !  it says make up your prespray and solution in ringer bucket to this dilution rate job which i think is very expensive compared to other products i use, 5litres of this cost about £27.
Am i missing something if this product was giving me results that were unique then maybe it would be worth it but i am far from trying all the bonnet chemicals out there, pureclean is next as that is more economical.

That is expensive Jim.

Have you tried solutions HD microsplitter ? (there are other microsplitters available)

for bonnet cleaning.

I've used catalyst and it is expensive with mediocre results. The best so far I've tried is Fusion clean, but ive got some spm on order which I hope to use on a care home Monday which is getting good reviews.

doesn't catalyst have built in carpet protector? if so then probably why it "seems" expensive.

and if i remember rightly, it needs a heated bonnet to be activated and work better.

Works well but forget the ringer bucket, spray it down and straight onto it with a dry pad.

Ah friction, so no need to turn the heater on

Its to take the place of DF Activator so price is a huge saving on that product.

Didn't get the spm on time to do the care home but used it on some offices over the weekend and done a great job, didn't even have to get the spotters out, coffee and tea bonneted out with ease.  Doesn't have the same nice aroma fusion clean has though.
