Older Carpet Cleaning Products --- Use or Dispose?

Hi,

I think the answer to my first question is obvious, but I still have to ask.

I have re-acquired many gallons of Scotchgard and Teflon low foam detergents I bought new with Von Schrader equipment around 1990. My former partner had it in a warehouse with our equipment he quit using.

Is there any possibility it would be any good?

If it needs to be disposed of, does old detergent with teflon or Scotchgard need special disposal?

I probably have 15 -20 gallons.

Thanks for the input.

Test it out, it should still be fine. Don't drink it.

22 years old I would expect it to have exceed it's shelf life. I wouldn't use it on a paying customers home. As for disposal call your local waste disposal and ask them every state will tell you something different

Is it freeze stable,?? I think it gets pretty cool in Peoria.

Contact the manufacturers and see what they say.

Personally, I think I'd be chucking it.

!gotcha!

Well, disposal is all about your point of view.

For example, I don't pour antifreeze down the sewer, I winterize it, the same way I recycle motor oil, I rebrand it as a sewer lube.


And I don't litter, it's my landfill expansion initiative.

Mix the slop up and use it to wash your truck.

Doesn't the company have a satisfaction guarantee? If you haven't used it by now it must not of been any good. Return it. Actually if it was me and I had 20 gallons of stuff I would post it on craigslist for one of the local hacks. 10 bucks a gallon compared to 20-30 and they will use it up. Might even get you some work cleaning up the mess they caused with it.

I think *** buys older carpet cleaning products, re-labels them and sells them to broke dick carpet cleaners.

Call them up. I betcha they'll buy the whole lot!

Tell them Mikey sent ya.. hey Marty, blow me

Some of those products are practically guaranteed not to bio-degrade.
Possibly as potent and toxic as ever.
Use with confidence

Hey Gordo, give me a call and I'll test it out for you. If it cleans worth a crap I'll take it off your hands. Kevin.922-4161.
