Saw presentation at carpet cleaners carnival on above and wondered if any of you guys are using these products and there efficacy, ie do they work! simon

[Elfyn]

I've been using it for, probably, ten years. And it works very well.

[macky]

Aren't  these being banned shortly ?

Think that's more to do with silver you can find a brief  but concise explanation about colloidal cleaning  here

Thanks for reply, what do you mean by the term silver, please. Simon

[premier floorcare]

It's the medical use of colloidal silver as a health benefit there are calls for it to be banned in the EU

They do work on light soiling anything heavy they struggle. But still too much hanging about for me.

What he fails to point out in his explaination blurb is that the terms colloid and micelles are formed by all detergents  .... not just the plant juice hes pushing .
Google it yourself , these are basics in all sorts of chemistry , not just detergency
eg   http://swiftcraftymonkey.blogspot.ie/2010/04/surfactant-chemistry-micelles.html

The silver would have nothing to do with the plant detergent ...more confusion

I'm not "pushing"anything just offering an explanation of colloidal cleaning. The silver reference was in answer to his question about the banning.

Not you  don't take offence , I mean whoever wrote the text in the link ...is describing a process common to most cleaning products ....as distinct from describing what (if anything) is unique to the plant derived surfactant ....

[premier floorcare]

No offence taken 😊😊

Can I ask what product you used and if you heated it up to cut down the dwell time wait?

The picture below are from an Incinerator Plant where the upstairs carpets get trashed by  workers coming into the offices. This is thick protein at it's best. Removed with Colloidal Cleaner 5-10 minute dwell

[SteveAllan]

Yes i apply it hot, which one have you used there.

What construction is the carpet
What is the soiling

[CleanerCarpets]

lol, the door on the left has disappeared too and that wall has got longer 

[Mike Halliday]

Or the carpet seam  in the doorway in the after photo..... not there in the before

[Gary Webber]

Ahh i've been sussed out!  I was up all night editing photos and photo shopping pictures to make them look good! Or could it be the area BEYOND THE DOOR is the starting point for the photo. Best way to show the end result is to show a partial cleaned bit (but there again that has been photo shopped and edited about 50 times because I don't have anything better to do for 5 hours 

[Gary Webber]

No before and after picture is as it seems .

Was the before pic taken after pre sprayed  No
