This John ?   Brendan , you could try these guys near you  ..  http://www.charlestennant.com/
I see they do peroxide up to to 70% in 25lt containers .
There looks to plenty of similar suppliers in the UK also  ...
I might make some inquirys myself also  as i would use it ...  but in general for spotting and mattress bleaching im happy with the hair salon stuff i get ( is that what u mean by creme ?      what do plan to do with the liquid ?

[john martin]

Before buying any strong solvents etc. The best thing you can do is go on a advanced stain removal course.

I've always found make up very easy to remove.

so , what have u got for the make up        i know some of it will dissolve with a general spotting detergent , but a lot of it needs the solvents ?

The yanks use the clear peroxide alot in there pre spray,just like to play with it,also for mattresses....When you say you use bleach on false tan,you talking about hydrogen peroxide..

It'll most likely need solvents. But I still recommend a course on stain removal.
I use a solvent  and acetone for nail varnish and some tougher stains.

Wasn't having a go at peoples selection of chems, just pointing out some training would be good before someone delaminates a carpet lol

yeah , i only use the salon stuff , simply because its the strongest thing iv found to get a quick result , so it would be peroxide , 
a strong version of liquid peroxide would be convenient though .
I have a clip of the worst mattress i came across lately  ...  and the power of peroxide to get a result  ...  il find it on my phone

[john martin]

brace yourself  ...  this is the worst mattress , not just because of the state of it , but because it wont steam clean even 1% improvement

Excellent result so how long does it take and how much can you charge to make it viable?.......Alan

Guys are getting similar results using Dynamall at 1-10 dilution.

I would like to see a comparison on the same mattress john .  I have the peroxide boosted version of encapbrite11  . it fizzles  nicely when add some warm water showing its h2o2 activity ....but iv tried it on mattresses with slow and limited success .the conc would not be the same IMO . if you drop the hair bleach on your trousers it will go white in mins , I'd imagine the encap stuff would just wet them . its fine if u have all day but u need to get result on a mattress in short time ,especially if that's all your doing in the house .

Pricing might be a bit like the upholstery ,its depends on a number of factors including the area u work , the price of the mattress etc
For me I have set lowish prices for uvc and chemical sanatizing of clean mattresses .
But for anything that needs bleaching I price according to the time I think it will take and other factors .generally one stained mattress for me will be a bit  more than my min charge for one carpet callout .three mattress I charge about the same as a three piece suite ...but its often less elbow work , that's why I don't mind doing them .
