Tide with color safe bleach (powder)

Well the Tide is in and my slimeball experiment test is over. The results were quite surprising to me and I did not see the devastation that I expected to see and feel.

The residue as much as it stayed slimey for two and a half days eventually became a solid. That I did not expect. But a clumpy solid and not a powdery solid.

Conclusion:

The clumpy solid residue will probably not vacuum up as readily as a powdery residue would. On a scale of 1 to 10 Tide gets a 5. But Formula 90 + Energizer is still a 10 in my world.

You must remember that Chemspec is a specialty chemical company and does not produce detergents for dishwashers, car washes, laundry, etc,. They concentrate on you the carpet cleaner. All their eggs are in one basket. I for one support them.

Anyone who comes up with a winner you should keep supporting and feeding. This allows their Research & Development to keep winning products in front of you.

Do you think Procter & Gamble would ever look into a specialty product for our industry? Hell no...we are too small for the big guys to even consider.

Carpetologist I thought you were going to bash the hell out of it!

Appreciate your honesty!  True to the game!!

He didn't mix it like you would in pre-spray....

I only use hydro force... 10 oz to 1 gallon....

I use to use prochem dry slurry... love it... but I was paying $250 dollars a 50lbs pail.....

I go through a lot of soap because I actually pre-spray from top to bottom... not spot spray... I pay attention to the spots but I give the whole carpet a good soaping...

I would go through a pail in a month to month and a half...

so I took it to my fathers lab buddy, that makes all sorts of chemicals.  He made up somestuff what worked just as well and was just as cheap as a box of laundry detergent.

He said the dry slurry was no better than a good laundry detergent...has to do something with the activating agent...or something like that he said.

so at first I mixed his 50lbs with 50lbs of dry slurry...

never noticed any difference in cleaning...and this stuff only cost 60bucks for the pail...

wow until I stopped mixing it...

still never noticed any difference...

what the guy makes for me is a general detergent... good for clothes good for carpet ...don't was your car with it...lol

maybe not tide... but just as cheap

so when I hear that the stuff causes re-soiling...or leaves residue... I know that it doesn't

But saying this gets you ridicule from your peers.

and I've cleaned everything with it....

go figure

Take someone like the Carpetologist who helped me in this forum when I first started never met him but helped quite a bit as Doug, Steamer Nightrider and so many others. Thank you! Sincerely. You all have helped me at least make this secondary business a primary one.

We appreciated the good words in your post how you feel this site has helped you. Nice to see your growth in such a short time. Most people we sell to in Ontario never get beyond the Mama-Papa stage.

It's very rare to see a newbie in Ontario even get beyond three crews. Don't have the answer why. American's are gamblers. Go big or go home.

Canadians seem very concerned about overspending and are conservative. A one man operation is not a business, the business owns you and keeps you captive.

Oh BOy...

Business must be really slow. In four days we've had almost 800 views on the Tide Topic.

Think of all the professional brains in this system for us to pick and we are arguing over Tide. I for one am going to put it down to entertainment value.

Let's get back to talking about O.P., The Activator, Dry Cleaning and watch profits soar into the thousands.

The Scoop on Tide

You do the math...
