3D carpet shampoo rocks!

[Scottwax]

Every bit as good as BioKleen Traffic Lane Cleaner and a lot easier to get. Spray, let dwell 30-60 seconds, scrub as needed, wipe up, re-vacuum and done. Even though the dilution is 16:1 vs BioKleens 32:1 it is still very cost effective since it is 2/3rds the price of BioKleen per gallon. Plus I haven`t been able to get BioKleen by a single gallon, they want to sell you a full case of 4.

I just got a sample of BioKleen TLC last week. Haven`t even had a chance to use it, but this is interesting as well.

I always thought carpet cleaners with optical brighteners weren`t the best?

Nice discovery Scott. I like this stuff alot too. I can also mix it with 1-2 gallons of water and sponge it on, scrub and vac. Lifts alot of soiling and leaves the fabric looking nice.

That`s interesting? Can you explain why that is?

This is one 3D product I have been really wanting to try thanks for the info Scott

I remember reading how optical brighteners can cause yellowing over time and that they will cause resoiling easier.



I have had a cart full of 3D products, but didn`t add the carpet clean for that reason. If I am wrong, I apologize.

I`ve been using it several weeks now, even on my own vehicle. Haven`t noticed any resoiling problems as of yet.

I just checked, not at Autogeek, and the online places I found it wanted to almost double the price of a 16 oz bottle for shipping... (Maybe not the same issue if buying by gallon? But I`m not doing that.)



Do they sell it in any of the chains, like Autozone?

no. you`ll have to order 3d/hd direct form them.

[dschribs]

It`s on Amazon for $14.99 a gallon.



At 16:1 dilution ratio - that`s one heck of a deal for the weekend detailer.

Understanding Optical Brighteners - Column - ICS: Cleaning Specialist



From carpet-rug.org

"Care should be used in selecting a detergent. Never use a laundry detergent of any type, because laundry detergents may contain optical brighteners (fluorescent dyes) that dye the fiber."



As DETAILERS, we should take interior detailing just as serious as paint correction and exterior detailing.

[wascallyrabbit]

so does this mean we should ask Tunch to remove the optical brighteners? or a least offer a version with no optical brighteners.

I`ve been looking at the Extractor Shampoo, but haven`t pulled the trigger because I`m not a fan of Jasmine Scent. Might have to try out their Carpet Shampoo instead. Have any of you tried both?
