Hey everyone...need some help regarding Enzall. I work in a 125 bed Long Term Care facility with approx. 100,000 sq. ft. of powerbond carpet. I recently extracted all the corridors in the building using Enzall as my prespray. Coffee was the biggest culprit stain wise...my question is... why did everywhere I pre-treated, leave a brownish "stain" when the carpet dried?? I mixed according to label, let dwell 10-15 mins. before extracting. It's almost like it broke down the coffee, but then the extraction process failed to pick it up. Any help from this forum is greatly appreciated!!! ------------- just swimmin in circles |

What are you using to extract? Portable? Did you put a post treatment on it to neutralize it?

Enz-All is very high PH. It sounds like you left the carpet in too high of a PH state. I would try to go back and extract with an acid rinse. I think that will work for you. When using any high PH prespray it is important to counteract the PH during the extraction phase. Hope this helps. ------------- It could always be worse. I mean you could be some carpet stain being emulsified by pre-spray all the while watching a wand spraying really hot solution aiming stright for you. |

LMAO Dennis I would have to agree with ya..however, 'Twas not MY choice to use them. I work for a county run facility and people that have never done this kind of work before get to tell me what to use!!! Oh well ...could be worse???------------- just swimmin in circles |

sounds like a classic case of alkaline burn. Enzall has a very high ph.... use some all fiber rinse and watch the spots dissappear.. ------------- Don't Cut Corners! Clean Them! |
