Priorities Mikey, you have to have those priorities in order.All that money into Empowered Water on board generators, mega marketing and yet.... a $99 wand..

So is Masterblend Soap Free and many others.So PROCYON is just a WATER SOFTENER?
Priorities Mikey, you have to have those priorities in order.
If we are disposing of our waste water correctly/responsibly, and I grant that is a big IF.In the United States phosphates are limited to .5% of the formula for laundry detergent and auto dish detergent (one reason why they do not work as well anymore). In my house, we do about 200 loads of laundry and 150 dishwashing loads. Generally, I extraction rinse once a year and quarterly maintain the carpet with encapsulation cleanings. There is no phosphate in the encapsulation and any powdered phosphate rinse is usually diluted 1 to 640 .15% of the ready to use formula. My point is that phosphate usage in our industry isn't even a blip on the phosphate radar. The use of phosphate based fertilizer is a remaining concern by environmentalists.
Hey Nate, could you hook me up with your avatar's digits? Who's the devil nowDevil's in the details...![]()
Our industry makes concentrated products that can be diluted heavily. One of our best powdered pre-sprays will have 1.5% phophate in the ready to use gallon and our best rinses will have .15% or less phosphate in ready to use gallons. Based on my annual laundry and dishwashing loads estimated at 350 and one annual extraction cleaning, you see that the total amount used in that one cleaning versus 350 loads is not particularly important to consider in the macro perspective. Phosphate is mined from rock with Morocco being the biggest supplier so it comes from nature. Phosphates also work well at high dilutions where other ingredients need to be used at more concentrated dilutions so less resources are being used. In our society we focus on the micro and do not focus on the macro big picture. I had a recent cleaner who used a 100% green product and was reluctant to use a better cleaner for the job which was 98% green in the ready to use version. Why are we focused on a micro difference of 2%? It is like arguing with your teacher to get the 98% A+ changed to a 100% A+. We need to think in broader terms and not to get hung up on minor details.
It's like preventing carpet cleaners from dumping in the streets but letting people wash their cars in their driveways.Sorry I tried to edit line 4 to say that they are NOT adequately enforced. For some reason it did not take.
Salt, salt and more salt.Go with " C"
Loren, call me @ 800-658-5314 ext. 2242 as there is too much to write.
Tom Radon is from nature and it causes lung cancer. Come to think of it caner is also from nature.
The devil IS in the details. All Australian laundry soaps are now essentially phosphate free. I honestly think you are looking at the ecological issue backward.
May I ask you Tom how old you consider the Earth to be?

Ive learned a lot. Good education about the rinse.
Phosphates cause algae bloom which chokes out agautic life in many instances. I was under the impression that waste treatment facilities can not properly process all the phosphates coming through.In Canada, they banned phosphates in many cleaning agents primarily because of eutrophication in water ways. Properly disposed carpet cleaning effluent goes into the sanitary sewage system where it is treated. Phosphates used in powerwashing, streetside car washing, etc, go straight into the storm drains and into lakes and streams adding excess nutrients (fertilizer) and causing accelerated plant growth. Ironically, since banning the phospates, we have several urban lakes that have been going sterile as far as new plant growth goes. They are now adding phosphate fertilizers to these lake to promote algae and other plant growth. Phosphates in carpet cleaning products can be environmentally friendly.
Liquid 90 is phosphate free
Sam; Phosphates are very effective cleaning agents.
We use them in our StainResist Powder alkaline rinse agent (pH=9.5).
Look at Tom's article in the current CleanFax where he finds liquid rinses ineffective. The best powder rinse had a pH of 9.5, which indicates it is most likely STPP.
