Prochem's Red RX gets a lot of use with me,  I also use Champion as well, Alltec's Ultimate Master, Microsplitter's and deodorisers ( Prochem Floral or Contract which smells like bubble gum & Craftex concentrated lemon).

i think this question is rather silly. because we are telling different things. so how on earth can you make a judjment. we dont agree. we all are doing our best to confuse the poor chap. if he goes on a course hell work it out. i certainly would not listen to some of these carpet cleaners THEY WILL LEAD YOU UP THE GARDEN PATH AND BACK AGAIN.i wont but then im good at what i do. ARE YOU, WELL ARE YOU ???

Steady!

let's start again

The best thing would be to go on a training course and find out what you want a certain chemical to do, then you'll save £100's if not £1000's on buying the correct chemical for you.

You'll find everyone is different and how you use it will differ from how someone else uses it to get the best results.

Get some or even more training and on these training days you usually get a discount off the products and this will pay for your training.

PS still waiting for the Amtech course to be done in the Midlands

Ron if we ignored all the questions that are silly then none of your post would get any answers ;) ;)

he's asked our 'opinion' on various chemicals, I personally just listed some of what I carry in the van

mike i agree you did . you covered what you feel is right for you. if he took your advice alone he would be on the right track . but this question has no end answer if you ask for the opinion of all. WE CANT AGREE CARPET CLEANERS ARE LIKE JOCKEYS in the horse race they have no clue who will win till they are past the post WELL DO THEY. I BET YOU CANT TELL ME fen shui sherlock :-*

Well i'm sure MOST of you's are trying to be helpful well at least some of use are. Looks like it'll have to be trial and error on some carpet samples i've got
