Viro -Sol buying
« on: July 20, 2016, 04:12:47 pm »
Hi Fellas.
  To the Viro- sol users, I have noticed the different coloured ( Red and a lighter orange  on e bay ) are they the same product or a diluted version being the orange one.   Help please. There seems to be a big difference in prices. What is a fair price.

Thanks, chaps, always knew  I could depend on you for the information I need to make the right buy.


Dude , you gave it a couple of hours , people are working , having dinner , enjoying the sun etc !

Its possible nobody knows the answer , it could be variations in the camera used to take the pic and not actually be any different in colour in reality.

I would suggest buying from a clover distributor if you are unsure .

I don't know what the big fuss is about with viro-sol as I thought it was pants myself for what I wanted it for.
Where does it say it's safe if it gets on glass. Which is the same as ubik 2000 that I use to use and they confirmed both are not meant to be used on glass   ;D ;D

Look red to me  ::)roll http://www.cloverchem.co.uk/2013/uk/product_detail.asp?prod_code=%27326%27&range_sub=%2720%27

Been down that rd smurf, asked clover chemicals if I could turn up to there site with my own ibc in the van and have it filled, there answer was there signed up to suppliers, ics being a local one to me.

As for the difference in colour ur right

Ics sell virosol as power sol as it's the lighter version, I have taken a bottle of virosol I got off mark South Wales guy who sells virosol in the darker version on eBay into ics and showed them the difference in colour
I even sent email to guy called James from clover chemicals but they say it's the same.

I no it's not the same coz I have used both and the darker version is defo better than the lighter version

But my missus went mad when I started scrubbing the carpet with her head when I knocked over a glass of shiraz.
I didn't know what I was doing though as I was on my third bottle.

The reason I ask this question is because the lighter colour Virosol would be exposed to light which would lighten the product if it contained a bleach and the more dark red  is kept in a  darker store. I have bought both dark red and a lighter orange colour.

  I agree  with what you have found and Clover is correct its the same when it`s manufactured by after standing in a shops warehouse and shelf it will deteriorate. Colour change is the giveaway. The light red never become darker does it. ITs the dark one becoming light from the bleach ingredients in the stuff. This would decrease the workability of the product.
