The best upholstery and carpet cleaner?

My mrs cleaned all our carpets with barke cleaner, she thought I was crazy to suggest it but then she couldn't belive the results and how easy it was compared to anything else.

Since I bought a job lot of 25l of the stuff off ebay a while ago, its been finding lots of uses.

Be VERY careful with Brake Cleaner

The following article is to do with welding, but does bring home what dangerous chemicals can do.

Brake Cleaner = Phosgene Article

Run my own cleaning company that includes a mobile valet team, for shampoo on upholstery do not use prochem they are for home furniture not cars, I use bio brisk shampoo high foam (this will eventually damage your machine after a few years but don't worry),you will need bucket warm water brush and autosmart bio brisk and sponge.

Take sponge out of bucket and squeeze out and then apply to upholstery and brush the soiled areas then use a numatic wet vac with a very good hand tool. In cleaning it's all about the agitation and suction, there you go 10 years experience handed down.

Funny that my family own a huge industrial and domestic cleaning company and i am a pro detailer yet none of us in 25 years have ever had a problem using truck mount systems running prochem upholstery products. Weither it be a car worth 30,000 or 500,000. I still have customers after 5 years who have the same vehicle and in those 5 years none of the upholstery has deteriorate at all.

Let me explain In my business I am the carpet and upholstery cleaner and use prochem chemicals all the time and they are fantastic and would never use anything else for homes or offices, for cars there is a better product that smells better and cleans IMO better, I would say try it but don't recommend it for your machine as the foam will affect the pumps long term.

BTW thinking on going truck mount but lads tell me my gut will get bigger through lack of work.
 
It's ok im sure there fully clued up on the systems as have been running prochem for 20 years. This includes Gemclean ltd, M.A.R services and M.C.S.

As regards to vehicles I get no long term smell due to the truck mount extracts alot more then the little portables. Plus with the use of Swissvax, zaino and DJ the cars interiors are left in optimum condition.

As for automotive, I think I'm just about happy the way I clean them;)

Chill out fella your far to serious for me my old son, I was giving people who are just into cars advice who don't have **** off machine worth 20k sitting in there shed. Btw prochem themselves said stick to autosmart as they are designed for car seat fabric and the sponge they use, you are getting the great results due to the fantastic machine you have us plebs have to use a sponge buckets and a galaxy or numatic.
 
lol, this is why I hate forums, they are notorious for people getting the wrong end of the stick. Im really not being hostile, but was only a little curious to why prochem should be outlined as something not to use at all. But honestly (and I will say this clearly) Im not getting angry. Happy cleaning:thumb:
