Would definitely have to be H2O. After that... shockwave.

Powererburst or Bliz. Then of course an Acid rinse.

UM - I think they fixed all the Criticisms leveled against it , it dissolves quicker and   easier at low temps , it wont leave a deposit on your immersion element or what ever , it flows better , less dust rising from it as u fill .
I kinda prefer the  older strong lemon fragrance it use to have years ago  though  .

Never understood the fascination with UM ::)roll - Clive now reckons it turns the water purple - but then with Clive we never know what high he is on on the day.  John reckons they have changed it so that deposits on heaters - flow problems - and dust :o have been improved.

Why bother with a product that isn't A1 from the start

I'm trying new chems atm

tried a mix of prochem and craftex, but not keen on in-tank..

got the WOC sample pack, m power seems to have done it.. but didnt yesterday.. going back doing it with Nitro on friday..

used shockwave today and it worked for half the carpet.. not so much on the other half .. strange carpet..

tried Alltec, might venture back over there.. citrus prespray seems to work well.

whats a good blend..

Isnt it hilarious that nitro and shockwave would be similar to products by the likes of chemspec 10 yrs ago , yet theyre the only thing on cleantalk that actualy works well  ,  and then theres the excuses why Mpoer wont work , your waters the wrong kind  :) you mixed it at 1 to 121 insted of 120   etc   :)
The citrus prespray u mention is a great allrounder , limonene and a surfactant , it will handle almost everything generally and is unlikely to damage anything , and everyone like the smell of orange .   You dont like intank ? might it be that used some fairly foamy products , i wouldnt be into that either ... but i alway like to have a shake of ultimate master powder intank , youd barely know its there , but it seems to add to a slighlty brighter result in general i find .

tbh my best results have been with in-tanks..

got
craftex premium clean - high ph
prochem crystal green - mid ph
prochem fibresafe - ph neutral

can't get on with crystal green, just hasn't worked..

m-power seems to work well on upholstery, and the spotter well on makeup,

I'm one of those people that prefers to buy off shelf, its easier than waiting for mr postie.. BUT alltec use dhl who will put the item exactly where you ask.. much easier.. the two local suppliers are craftex and prochem..

prespray gold as mentioned is not lacking much ,   it already contains some of the components u might boost with eg propanol and citrus ( limonine )  u could add more of those to adjust the mix if u had something mad dirty , apart form those i suppose u could add a source of peroxide to brighten some rugs , subject to testing and suitability for the rug
