Professional Carpet Protector Testing Implemented on Mikeys Board

[Ron K]

Anyone read this and think sure we would sell protector if we could dip the rugs. This seems to be the old paper test and not real life. Also why Nylon why not Polypropolyne? But at least a shot to try has to be admired,

 

[Mikey P]

Ever notice what negative nancys these rug fags are?

No ... I never once had any of that cross my mind.

I just though about the hours of added drying time required with protector application.

 

[dealtimeman]

Marty solvent protectant dries the carpet faster in my opinion.

Water based adds hours if applied correctly.

Ok prove me wrong bullshitthinksalot on a horse.

I want to see you testing done by tomorrow don't go hides on me now.

 

[Desk Jockey]

How much faster? I think for it to make a noticeable difference you'd have to put down so much solvent you'd blow yourself to Kansas when the furnace kicks on.

 

[hogjowl]

Well, that's it then. No way I'm going to Kansas.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Oh come on, the earth is flat here.

Most solvents based protectors evaporate slower than water. Water based protectors evaporate fast enough and only add a small amount of additional time. I believe the current one I use is 2-1 masterblend or something like that. It comes in a green jug. It has an alcohol smell when sprayed and evoperates fast.

I like alcohol as a carrier better than OMS.

OMS penetrates very well but maybe because it does so, it seems like it takes forever to cure.

Yall are so super duper wrong it does even commence to begin to become funny in the leastest of leastesteses

Most water based protectors have 1 gallon to 200 square foot coverage.

Compared to the pint it would take of a well formulated solvent.

OK Mike I'll Bite!
Hey Nancy How much protector do you sell! Go DIP yourself.
You stated sometime ago that most don't sell protector because they aren't convinced it works that well. Me too.
So now someone who is pretty respected in the field is doing testing but not really real life testing.
When you "test" equipment do you only use it without putting it through it's paces or do you just wave your magic wand over it.
SO what is this test really going to prove Real Life. I bet, if you dip carpet in protector it works and some dipped protector works better then other dipped protector.
Hey Fat Head will they change the application instructions on the label saying "Works well if dipped!"
Yes I would like to sell protector but I'm not convinced it works well when applied with what we,real cleaners, use besides the fact that you're adding more moisture to the environment.
P.S. Didn't you try to make it as a Rug Fag but failed at you're attempt and now you're just a Carpet HOMO!

What's the added dry time for Hardballs Soil Blocker? Anybody ever test that product? It claims 1200 sf RTU.

And it smells good.

 

[hogjowl]

Try to stay on topic, Hobert.

 

[Mikey P]

Than don't sell it Ron

I'm calling Mikey.
Boyle has his password.

 

[dealtimeman]

Guys Larry cobb says solvent protectors assist in drying, so it is true.

 

[Mikey P]

I agree with Larry



This time.

 

[Willy P]

I'm with Ron.If I wouldn't be bothered to use it myself , I'm sure as shooting not gonna foist it off on my customers . OTHER THAN the old solvent based Chemspec all fabric stain shield none of works worth shit a adds too drying time.ThAt was way too expensive to put on carpets and they don't make it any more.
That is all.

 

[Harry Myers]

Guys I use solvents on all my natural fibers. With upholstery especially. I Also Do Like The alcohol it does evaporate faster than and water. The more water added to a wet product means more drying time.

 

[Mikey P]

Now there is a Harry who I can trust.

Dynachem Ultraseal is not flammable (and it uses a faster drying solvent rather than OMS) . . .

Much faster drying time than any water-based fluorochemical protector . . .

Our Solvent Protector (value product) is combustible . . .

 

[Desk Jockey]

Dynachem Ultraseal is not flammable . . .

Is it combustible?

 

[The Great Oz]

Dry times depend on the carrier and how heavy you apply the product. OMS dries slowly, often slower than water. I really don't see the point of using an OMS based product if you're upset about the dry time of a water based product as it just costs you more.

Alcohol dries faster but is easily ignited if you spray it near a pilot light or anything that arcs. Chlorinated solvents dry the fastest and aren't flammable like OMS and alcohol, but they're expensive.

Adding dry time is typically a small issue, no matter what carrier is used, unless you're cleaning and protecting a lot of plant fiber carpet.

 

[dealtimeman]

here comes the iicrccaa to start trouble again.

 

[Mikey P]

If Larry's product was flamable this board would have gone away years ago.

 

[dealtimeman]

Was the clean infringement or clean trust not controversial enough?

Why are we always being pulled to and fro?

We are poeple too, you know!
