    I know there is another thread discussing this line of products but i was hoping for some specific answers to specific questions. I would like to market "green" cleaning in our area and my company already carries these products for resale. There are 3 different simple green products i am curious about.

    1) SG Clean Building Carpet Cleaning Concentrate - This product meets GS-37 standards, is used as a pre-spray @ 6oz/gallon. MSDS

    2) SG CC Concentrate - Detergent with a nice floral fragrance that seems like a run of the mill detergent MSDS

    3) Crystal SG - An All-Purpose Industrial Strength Degreaser MSDS

    I have used the pre-spray and detergent with a heated Ninja a few weeks ago. It did well on some carpets but i wouldnt say is a powerhouse cleaner. It did foam up quite a bit tho which i was not too happy about.

    The crystal SG i use around my house all the time. It is by far the best degreaser i have ever used, hands down. I use it to clean the T&G in my shower and works wonders with no agitation even. The company claims it is safe to use on carpets and should be used in light dilution ratios of about 1:100.

    My questions are for those that understand the chemistry of cleaners (as i do not) or for those who are familiar with the products. After looking at the MSDS's, what situations would one most likely use these products (if at all). Why and why not.

    I can assume that the carpet cleaning detergent is of consumer quality and not something the professional would be using. The industrial strength ones on the other hand seem to be more on the pro level. I also assume the only true test is to try these out in different situations and see what works and what doesnt. I would like some input from the guys who really know about chemicals.

    Thanks and any help is much appreciated!
