Rinse for prespray

[Josh Almanza]

Currently using pros choice ps(powder) for my commercial accounts thinking about using Cobbs power max ps, my question is what should I use as a rinse to leave the carpet close to neutral after rinsing after using power max ps?

Larry says fresh water will leave it around 9 ph, so I would guess any acid rinse, last step, Prochems all fiber deep clean a polymer based acid side detergent.

Ect ect or what Mike uses, flex ice!

Not to derail but if it's hammered I like firestorm on commercial better!

But if your carpets are mild to moderate then ya powermax is good.

Is this industry really that complicated?

You would sour rinse with an acid. Flex Ice is a great example.

Unless leaving the carpet in an excessive alkaline state any good quality rinse product will do on a synthetic carpet. Alkaline or acid.

Through years of practice I could never find any difference in re-soil levels between an acid rinse or a mildly alkaline rinse. None.
As long as the rinse has some detergency, it will out perform water rinse or acid (without detergent) rinse.

I always use an alkaline rinse

So true!

I wouldn't worry about the pH left, if you have water close to pH of 7.

End pH should be ~8.5 with a water rinse with PowerMax.

Our StainResist Powder will leave the pH ~7.5 and still provide good cleaning.
