Do you give a new chemical a 2nd chance?

If it fails miserably the first time ?

Depends on what it is. Did I mix it properly. Did I use for what it was intended for.

One job is different from the next. Different soils. Different soil levels. Maybe different water. Etc. I try products on several jobs before I make a decision.

I would not however, do a large project with just a new chemical. If the new juice did not cut it, I would have my favorite on standby. Testing it out on several jobs does not mean I would be committed to it for cleaning every inch of those several jobs.

Cleaning failure? Did it not clean something heavily soiled, but you had no way to compare it?

Try it again when you can test it against a proven product.

Did you test it side by side with a product that you know should work on the same job, and did it underperform with the same soil?

No need to test it again.

The same goes with protector.

Deodorizers are the toughest, because its difficult to do a "side by side" using smell as the only way to know it worked. Unless you have an area rug that is evenly contaminated, and you cut it in half and work on each half in different rooms, you can't always tell.

I tend to give deodorizers more testing for that reason.

I give a new prespray 1 case or 40/lb bucket to impress me but if it fails miserably on something I feel like it shouldnt have had a problem with then I might only run it on one or 2 more jobs.

Sometimes the second bucket is way different from the first.

I remember vendors putting out awesome "samples" that the subsequent order never equalled.

A "miserable" fail is one 'n done

an "unimpressed" mediocre result might get a few more tries..but not many

I've always taken the time to do side by side evaluations against proven performers though
It's the only way I know how to separate the wheat from the chaff out of the gate


and avoid all this






..L.T.A.

I tried it again today on a light soil situation

Had to go over it work another product.

If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Hopefully, you're using it how it was intended

 

[Acp]

If its marketed as a lighter pre spray then it doesnt bother me but when they sell it as nuclear and it sucks that pisses me off

Mop water.

 

[hogjowl]

No

 

[SamIam]

I’ll say this the new ultra stank which has a light mint flavor. Rinsed with say a detergent slurry. Is a kick arse 1-2 punch.

And when I use it in the slums I dont ask does the smell bother you?

 

[steve_64]

No

Probably all its good for.

1 try then fook it.

We generally test it on our office first, then if results are good our homes before any clients. We don't do much testing though, we've pretty much " Danced with the one that brought us." Prochem, so in the case of testing Extreme we went right to the field testing.
