Tide with color safe bleach (powder)

Adwa you can't say at least you haven't thought about it TIDE in your solution tank.

There will be a Tide of problems and dissatisfied customers if you get too many carpet cleaners converted to Tide.

I am in the process of doing and evaporation test on Tide (should take another day of so before I post the results). So far the Tide is looking very slimey.

I am sure Tide is an excellent cleaner but the problem is that it requires at least three rinses. Carpet cleaners do not have that kind of time frame and still be able to show a profit.

Your customers carpet will resoil rapidly and they will never call you back.

SO WHAT HAVE YOU SAVED?

We replaced a pump yesterday at a $1,200.00 cost to a carpet cleaner who listened to his Uncle Henry or took his Grandmothers remedies advice. Found out the product he used cleaned out his pump real well.

Cost Comparisons:

Let's talk Quality with a Kick.

Take Chemspec Formula 90 powder for example...
Directions:
Mix one oz. of Formula 90 per 5 gallons of water.

Buying Formula 90 powder in small amounts and no discounts (list price) would cost you 40 cents per oz. This means 80 cents (Canadian dollars) (U.S. 20% less) per fill up in standard 10 gallon portable. Cost $1.60 to clean the average home.

Let's say you can buy a cheaper product for 50% less. So you have saved 80 cents and possibly compromised your equipment and your customers.

Jim Darling is out of town and will be back tomorrow. I know he can explain what fillers are in products. Basically they are products that bulk up the purchase to make it look like more. But fillers or no fillers I will leave that one up to intelligent minds.

Formula 90 Contains:

• Corrosive Inhibitors
• Brighteners all colours
• Excellent soil resistance
• pH buffering compounds
• Non foaming

Sounds like you guys have me on the run with this Tide deal. Maybe I am best to take nightriders advice, to shut-up and make my money on the repairs caused by cheap products and buy stock in Procter & Gamble.

When the chips are down nightrider always has the answers.

With all the Tide talk it's time to resurrect some old posts from days gone by of our famous formula HIDE. I am sure our forum newbies will enjoy it!

Ted all the above stuff you said is bull... straight up bull

how are you mixing this hide???

10 oz in a hydro froce 1 gallon.....pre-spray

no re-soiling... no foam... no bull happy customer

Chemical costs represent about 3% of gross sales in the average carpet cleaning companies. That is one of the smallest costs in our business, don't know about Steamer's costs, if I was going to waste my time on anything it would looking for ways to reduce labour, taxes, gasoline, heat & hydro costs long before trying to save pennies on some SOAP mixture, that may or may not save so little my bottom line would not change.

To each his own, maybe a one man operation could get away with using laundry soap

Don't know about that Uncle Henry stuff we are talking about something as simple as TIDE. With a tested PH. If it has worked on bonnet cleaning why not with the heat in Steam Cleaning. I haven't had any problems or meantime failure any different. Carpetologist I hope the test you are doing is with Powder. As it is I can clean carpet without solution 230 degree steam as far as the TIDE just about 2 scoops per 5 gallon solution tank.  Someone also said it has enzymes man thats a bonus. I will say this it has to be safe. Can someone get fined by osha for not disposing of this properly or is this safe as an extra extra bonus.  It is even used on babies clothes if it was bad no parent would even think about it. As it is lots of people do not clean there carpet enough we are getting them on a cycle. If  it is every 6 months to a year so be it everyone wins. We going to make even more money. That is why we are here right.
