I didn't want to PADJACK chems thread , so here we go again with yet another perox review.

Just got back from my 1st peroxellent job.  Carpet was lightly soiled but had several small urine stains and a few coffee spills.  I pre sprayed at 10 oz per gallon.  None of the stains moved during cleaning, except 1 fresh urine spot, and it seemed to fizz as soon as I hit it with pre spray.   So I finished up the job.

 Before I did the post vac I grabbed my problem b gone to hit the remaining stains , and they were not there any more.  After looking real close I found just a hint of yellow left on one of the urine spots so I misted that with PBG.  I bet if I had left it for another hour it would have gone away on it's own.

Another plus....  was the deodorizing ability. Normally I can smell urine real strong after getting it wet with pre spray. I got just a hint of it with the perox, and the fragrance covered that up pretty well.

After about 30 minutes on the job I couldn't smell any urine at all.   This house also had a ton of dog hair. , and I didn't get the wet dog smell like I normally do.   So far seems like a great product to use for homes that have pets.

TM review coming ,  soon stay tuned

Will it replace EG?

I dunno Bill at 10 ounces I would think more for the dirty ones.  It works awesome on furniture and carpet just be careful it left my carpet crunchy in some of the areas I heavily sprayed.

My jobs are different than some of you guys, I only do residential no rentals.  I don't mind getting some of the product but the double dilution compared to EG or Ultra means I'm using 2.5 as much as my current pre spray.  I haven't had any issues with EG with the type of jobs I do.  Every once in a while I get the filthy ones, again not to put the product down, I can tell from you guys it works, just the 10 compared to 4 oz is the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger. If I had rental and apartments I'd deff have some in stock.

I did a thing. Raised my rates.

funny me.

Just keep a jug or two on hand for when needed Bill? ..as the o crap this worse then expected... kind of job:)

Bill makes a valid point. If I may ad to his line of thinking:

If I use peroxy as my main juice always, I am wasting the chemical on carpet(s) that may have done just as good using another choice.

However, for right now, it is the go-to juice so I can see with my own eyes when best to use it.

I now charge more when I use it by 5 bucks a room. I also upsell it to custy's.

Also I need to keep in mind it has a shelf life. I bought one case and on my last 2 gallons and they are not as strong as the first two.

This concerns me.

The bottles have expanded many times where I need to 'vent' them and each time I knew, they had lost O2.

Now I had rather see steve make a basic juice where we can ad our how hydrogen peroxide. Me having to ad it to such an expensive juice gives me cause to consider other options.

Steve needs to read this thread.

I like the idea of telling custy my cost is double.

Good call Andy. I see that being an easy way, coupled with explaining what is really in the juice...

spot-on too with the spotter thing. However, I never use a spotter. Honest...

If I need to go heavy, I use my Mytee Lite 2 and some high ph HWE soap.

I was trying to show how it is important to know your costs in chemical usage.  I'm not comparing pennies, the above is used by many large companies when employees are wasting chemicals, they need to keep track, even every penny counts.  If you ever decide to have employees and grow your business, this will be very important.  I choose to run my biz this way even if I'm not a large company. 

I was not comparing perox to eg, only when Jon brought up the cost difference, I'm talking as far as dilution ratios you are spending a lot more product than one using less.  Doesn't matter if you have to use spotters or not, not everyone has the same jobs.  So some people may have high soiled jobs and others have light to medium soil almost every day.  The difference would be on the type of jobs that you do, if you have to use a ton of spotters and trashed out carpets than go with one product that would eliminate having to use additional spotters, only common sense there and I agree.  I only compared EG to Perox due to the price comment by Jon, however I no longer use EG I use SU and I have not needed to use any extra deodorizer such as odorcide ever since i made the switch, so that also saves me a ton of $. 

Like Dus said, what I would also do is keep 1 gallon of perox in the van for jobs that have lots of urine stains, I don't come across these much.  Most of the people that call are more concerned about the odor, so they end up going w/ pet odor removal.

Use what you think works best for you, not every job will need the higher dilution chemical(this has been my case).

I can use surround ultra or encap green on my jobs and not have a need for any other pre sprays, because my jobs are light to medium soil 95% of the time, so time spent is never an issue, and to me from what I mentioned above it's not a few dollars but $38 bucks. 

We don't charge extra for cleaning or deodorizer, but I do tell them my cost is double for protector, that's the only add on I have for carpet cleaning. 

Chemical cost is something cleaners have talked about for years.

Its such a small percentage of your overall expenses that it isn't really worth spending a lot of time on. You would do better spending time on other areas of your business or getting better mileage from your vehicle.

Find something that WORKS first. Then worry about cost if you must.

Peroxide cleaners have been around for years. Glad they are figuring out how to put it in encap formulas with success.

Exactly!

Match the product to the job. I don't see how one product could do it all. We always stocked a selection of products for various types of jobs we did.

You want me to stop using these little dot things too?........
