Well, I was right. That confirms it.I turned my rinse on halfway through rugs and saw a noticeable difference in the colors. Tried it on several carpets too but it was mixed results.
It makes colors pop and brightens traffic lanes just a little more.
Prochem all fiber rinse is what I use now.
If lowering the pH level to a neutral state is your goal, then you can tell if it works.There’s no way to tell if a rinse even works.
Much less if one is better than the other.
Idiots
It's not all about pH adjustment, it's also about removing (rinsing) the prespray easier/fasterIf lowering the pH level to a neutral state is your goal, then you can tell if it works.
Just take a before and after pH reading?

Last stepThey're pretty cheap so I like using one.
Anybody use EndZone and CTI Last Step? Which one did better for you?
I do not boost at all with extreme. Works fine all on its own.During the Legend Brands tour I asked the chemist about using a rinse and boosters with Prochem Ultra Pack Extreme and he said we need to quit adding stuff to his prespray. He didn't design it to be used with other products and they're only working against the active ingredients. He said it will rinse just fine with water.

Never used that product but the chemist "should" know best, some products definitely rinse better than othersDuring the Legend Brands tour I asked the chemist about using a rinse and boosters with Prochem Ultra Pack Extreme and he said we need to quit adding stuff to his prespray.

wanna run a 6 flow wand and rinse as fast as a guy running 10 flow and beat his drying times?
Use a rinse
I was told that a high alkaline cleaner left in the carpet would act as a magnet for soils, which is more towards the acidic side. This works on the same principle as magnets. Like polarity repels, different polarity attracts. This is why when people used Armor All to clean their dash the next day the dash would be dustier than the day before it was cleaned. Dry particulates floating in the air where pulled to the dash because of different polarities.who told you that matters on typical wall to wall synthetic carpet?
More importantly, "why" it matters?
..L.T.A.
The alkaline cleaner is a magnet for soils NOT because of the ph, but because of how sticky it is after it dries. If ph was a concern, there wouldn't be alkaline rinses.I was told that a high alkaline cleaner left in the carpet would act as a magnet for soils, which is more towards the acidic side.

By lowering the pH to a more acidic condition the fibers would repel the acidic particulates in the air/or on shoes. Leaving the carpet in a more alkali state would be like a magnet to the acidic dry particulates.

Y'all are all so smart!
I used alkaline only rinses for over 40 years.
I never saw resoiling problems nor did I ever get a complaint from a carpet that I left it in a alkaline state.
Resoiling is caused by vacuming. Or more to the point a dirty brushroll. It's what causes the whole carpet to be evenly soiled. Traffic lane soiling is just that.
