If that’s all it takes, a flat deck and a pleasant afternoon hosing it down would work, neh?
Micelles, your cells, what's the difference. It's not nanotechnology, it's nana-technology. If you can't get it clean, your Nana will do it for you.Oh my! Tom uses words like Micelle........encapsulation .............NANOTECHNOLOGY..................in some of his product descriptions.
HERE WE GO WITH MORE BS MARKETING!
Tom's Centrumforce U-Turn mixes at 1oz per gallon and has a 10 minute dwell time. Super efficient and cost effective. Don't get hung up on the price per gallon.But Tom centrum is $132 a gallon!
And contains coconut oil.
How is a carpet cleaner going to use that without leaving it sticky when some flood urine stains.....................in carpet?
Like Damon

Damon there ya go.......it's for rugs .....not carpet.
Temp odor removal at best on carpet.
KOKOnutt oil would be hard to rinse out and probably (Prolly) resoil.
It's all baseless
This technology has been around for awhile now for cleaning agents. Albeit, some advertisers call it "New Technology" and rightly so. Some consumers still haven't heard about it. It is more expensive to produce. However, for some it appears to be nonsense. Here is one explanation that articulates it well in my opinion: "Colloidal micelles are so small (0.000,000,001 cm) that they can only be observed with a powerful electron microscope. The micelles range in size between one and four nanometers, roughly the size of ten hydrogen atoms or 1/80,000 the width of a human hair. The heart of this new chemistry is the technology to create the “colloidal micelle”. Colloidal chemistry is the new technology that makes possible the conversion of plant extracts into powerful, yet surprisingly mild, solutions that dissolve oil, grease, scum, stain and other hydrocarbons."
U-Turn and Knock Out, which are Centrum Force products, utilize this technology in the blending formulations in each respective target specific product. Our products have been out there for about 10 years now. They have received the Wool Safe® Approval Certification.
Do you put rugs with a secondary backing in the wash tub or centrifuge?We use U-Turn on all of our contaminated rugs and Guarantee complete odor removal on all hand knotted rugs that we can completely submerge. Usually a few hours dwell time and then wash in our Centrum wash tub. On severely contaminated we will rinse first in a Centrifuge with a lot of water and acidic acid, then soak overnight with U-Turn.
On tufted and machine made rugs with a secondary backing we can still remove the odor 97% of the time, so we only guarantee complete odor removal on a case by case basis.
And we sometimes use OSR on synthetic rugs with secondary backings, it will remove the stain and odor from the front and back.
what are "heavy chemical cleaners"?What if I have allergy to heavy chemicals but rug cleaning with soda, coconut oil, etc does not help? The carpet that I am trying to clean is very old and the smell is quite resistant, I am pretty sure that it is necessary to use heavy chemical cleaners.
Can you bring the rug up to our Hands-On Training Center in Orlando? Our Hands-On rug washing class is May 14th - May 16th. We will be washing rugs with urine contamination and odor. Students can bring rugs with issues that want to learn to address.What if I have allergy to heavy chemicals but rug cleaning with soda, coconut oil, etc does not help? The carpet that I am trying to clean is very old and the smell is quite resistant, I am pretty sure that it is necessary to use heavy chemical cleaners.
It is just a shipping box away.Wish it was available in Australia Tom
