Just got some sodium percarbonate to play around with. Can somone tell me how many mililitres per litre of prespray i would need?

[n.s.mcdonald]

it isn't a pre spray . it is used in colour stain removal

[Graham Airey]

Yes i know, i was going to use it as an oxygen booster for my presprays.

If you know that little about it, should you be using it on customers carpet?
Why not use a properly formulated product that is predictable in use?
The cost is pennies.

[Graham Airey]

I'm not that stupid, of course I'm not going to use it on customers carpets straight away. I have plenty of at home to try it on.

When you say 'millelitres per litre' what do you mean
Sodium Percarbonate is normally a solid oxidising agent that breaks down into Hydrogen Peroxide when added to water that then produces your so called oxygen boost

On certain stains I would use ca 25grams per litre.   As for using it for general coverage in a pre spray - I wouldn't bother.  You can get presprays that already do that for you

[peter maybury]

Sodium percarb is a great chemical. It is widely used in carpet cleaning and is marketed by all the manufacturers under different product names.
You can use up to 8 scoops per ltr depending on what you are trying to do.
In presprays it is a great stain digester. Get more info by reading the instructions on oxibrite or similar.

Sorry if I was a bit fierce above... but you never know What someone is going to do.

[Graham Airey]

By millilitres I mean for example 1 tbsp would be 15ml, Peter when you say scoops what size scoop are we talking?

[cleantech]

I find 1 15ml scoop per liter of pre spray will suffice as a booster/ brightener. The prochem powr burst scoop will be.perfect if you have it

[peter maybury]

yes just use the scoops as supplied by prochem etc.

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

thanks john.Cant beat lidl.

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

so its basically the same as  oxibite.?

[stuart_clark]

Energy brite from Craftex is probably the most economical

Laundry "oxy" products are different often containing other ingredients such as surfactants and enzymes.

[peter maybury]

always read the label no matter how intelligent you think you are.
