Cobb's Peroxide. What do you do?

[ruff]

How do you guys deal with Cobb's peroxide.
If I got it right, it is Vol 50 which is about 15.5%

1. Do you convert it to a lower Vol (how? what ratio?)
2. Do you ever apply it directly?
3. Just glug into Hydro-force? (How much of the container?)

Any other sources for peroxide short of Sally's? Link please.

 

[hogjowl]

You apply it straight
As long as it’s man made fiber
Apply it before cleaning
And again after if needed
I apply it while vacuuming
I apply it with either a trigger sprayer or a watering can

 

[FredC]

1. No
2. Yes. Sometimes with a spritz of ammonia to accelerate.
3. I've been known to drop a quart in a hydroforce on piss jobs.

IDK of any that are labeled specifically for carpet cleaning use and Cobb's is cheap as well as supposedly formulated with additional ingredients (penetrants) for better performance.

I've never used Cobb's. I use Sally's 40 vol. They carry 50 vol but won't sell it unless you have a specific license. I use as a pretreatment on coffee, red wine residual, sometimes urine. If I need to leave something on without rinsing, I use a 2 part peroxide/ammonia solution.

 

[Ron K]

Directions for use is very vague from some manufacturers.

 

[Ron K]

Cobb's is cheap

What specific Cobb product is that?
Always used Sally's.
Straight Ammonia?
Thanks

"Fabric Brightener Oxidizing Agent"


but if you aren't concerned with product labeling and have a Sally's close I don't see a reason to switch

I agree. And I am not at all sure that these "carpet" labeled products work any better than the regular peroxide with a boost of ammonia, at a fraction of the cost.

These "designer" peroxides, in a fancy carpet cleaning labels, IMHO are just way over priced.

Get more for the money with Cobb

I'm not sure but "FBOA" is a Powder??????
More stable?
Better dilution?
Mailable?

with

Inquiring minds want to know!

The powder is definitely more stable, takes considerably less storage space, stays good till mixed with water and is less likely to leak in the van.

However you need to mix it, and once mixed it does not stay active much. The liquid peroxide actually will stay active for 6-9 months.

How do you work with the powder Ron?
Do you sprinkle on stain and activate or mix with hot water?
How long do you keep (stays good) once mixed?

 

[hogjowl]

I’ve worked with the powder
It’s a wast of time
Buy the liquid
Stop being a price shopper

 

[Hack Attack]

I like a powder for boosting a HF

but prefer liquid for misting over stains while vacuuming and final touchup, 6% on wools 12% on synthetic generally but will go higher % if needed

 

[Jim Williams]

I have had Cobb's 50 volume take the color out of nylon carpet twice. I dilute it now just a bit.

 

[Ron K]

Liquid has been problematic with shipping.
Price is not relevant if it works. Had some V-Away stuff that leaked all over.
Pressure build up.

 

[hogjowl]

Buy it from Cobb

 

[hogjowl]

Let me hasten to say, I no longer use much of it anymore.
I like P-Sor from Soap Daddy much better

 

[BIG WOOD]

I’m a matrix bad dog user. I’ve used several cases of Cobbs and I’ve found that the concentration isn’t the same every time. Some times it’s almost water and other times it’s too strong, like mentioned above. The matrix product remains constant every time.

yea, MORE frustration.

I pay 63$ for 5 gallons of 29% peroxide, and dilute it with RO water to strenght needed. I also buy high proof ammonia aswell, and make my own 2 part.... I pay 1/10 th what I do from my CC supplier.....

 

[hogjowl]

yea, MORE frustration.

Missing those advertising dollars?

 

[hogjowl]

So you talk bad about him

 

[Mikey P]

Let me take that back..

He traded product for his campaign.

He came out way ahead.

 

[Hack Attack]

About $150 for 20 litres(5gal?) of 50% tech grade peroxide here, I like 6% lightly mixed with an encap for most my stain work

 

[Mikey P]

What pissed me off is Larry left because we wouldn't let him promote Mytee and Dang junk, that even you aren't dumb enough to buy.


I think.

 

[hogjowl]

I have a Mytee Big Boss sprayer


It’s broken

 

[Cleanworks]

I have a mytee speedster portable. I fixed it.

 

[Acp]

we strictly used liquid for a long time then went to powder, now back to liquid.

The liquid will get the really bright neon pee spots that the powder wont, also when mixing a hydroforce the powder takes up "room" in the water so you end up with sludge on the bottom or having to use less pre spray if its also powdered.

I got a car trailer.

Nobody cares
