Recently I was challenged by a member who uses laundry detergent to clean carpets as to why TMF products are better. Usually I don’t respond but for sake of newer professionals I will. Especially after my top 50 prespray testing revealed dated laundry ingredients in some brands. Many also had OB’s. If you don’t know what OB’s are and the problems they pose then I highly recommend you read the accompanying link.
To address his 1st question. What sets TMF chemical apart?
1-Quality of active ingredients.
2-Quantity active ingredients.
3-Entire line synergistic
4-Proprietary ingredients
5-Each field tested for a year
6-Continuously tweaked
7-Consistent quality
8-Safer chemistry
9-No optical brighteners
10-Non resoiling
Procuring results from a single test is not an optimal testing protocol. Proper testing is using a product under different surfaces, soil loads and soil types. Anything less is strictly hypothetical. It is why we field test ours for a minimum of one year. I use my local multi Truck company to test all products. I send the formulations out with each tech and get in field feedback. Lab feedback is not an accurate test of what we run into on a day to day basis.
Laundry chemistry has been proven to have detrimental effect on carpets, animals and humans. They resoil quickly, leave permanent damage and leave you open to liability for not using it on proper applications. Why expose your company to such liability?
Lastly, I took 90 days gathering all the top 50 presprays in our industry and tested each one. I found many were similar containing low quality ingredients, poor consistency and low amounts of expensive active ingredients.
However what made me most concerned was the use by some of OB’s. Optical brighteners, like in laundry detergents dupe unsuspecting cleaners into believing that a chemistry works when it does not. It’s a hack mentality. A true disservice to the industry and the general public.
Here is an article I recently wrote on laundry detergent. Having knowledge sets you apart from hacks and helps you gain clients trust. You can also refute the use of sub par chemistry while explaining to clients the dangers of improper cleaning solutions. Very important. Click the link and enjoy the article.
