Alternative Chemicals

[Dodger]

I need some viro-sol or Ubik and I know from experience how good vitro is and take everyone's word that Ubik is better.

Thing is I don't buy it in bulk but might think about that another day and the postage on 5 litres is extortionate so I wonder if there is something I can buy locally that could be on a par with viro-sol.

I know screwfix do a no nonsense degreaser cleaner for about 7 quid for 5 litres, has anyone tried that or do you have any recomendations that I can maybe buy locally.

I've tried stardrops and it really doesn't cut the mustard (or staining).

Any thoughts as it may help others.

Selden Maxima is what I use.

Google cleaning supplies near you, they always carry stock of a range of cleaning chemicals to use.

Yeah I could do that lol. I took a look at the Selden stuff on your site rc but works out about the same even more if it doesn't include postage lol. Looks good stuff though and I tend to believe damo when he bugs something up.

that price includes p&p

don't know how much the others make when mixed, but this when mixed at its strongest mix makes 250lts of cleaning liquid

have a look at local places first see whats about, that will be the best and cheapest option,

i use tfr (traffic film remover) for gutters and fascia's and it works well i get a 25ltr drum from the local motor store for £18 they do 5 litres aswell i csnt compare it to virosol or ubix as never used the stuff due to the same reason you mention it will cost me around £14 to get 5 litres delivered

Dodger,

We use Selden Maxima heavy duty degreaser on the cleaning side of the business and I'd highly recommend it. Do you have a Bunzl Cleaning Supplies near you (or Greenhams, same company). They will stock it.

Hope this helps.

Can get it from fleebay dodger cheaper that works out when buying 4 x 5ltr £9.38 each including delivery :Image9:

here is the link if interested http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Selden-5LTR-maxima-Box-4x5LTR-Industrial-/221274286721?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item791c5b421e

RC's price £16.30 for just 5ltrs is a joke mate

 

[Dodger]

******4 x 5ltr £9.38 each is a very good price, but saying RC`s price is a joke is a bit harsh, Express Cleaning Supplies is £20.50 for 5 Lts with delivery*******

cant help the cost of postage.

cost me £7.50 to post them!

its not that im making anything from them either, maybe just £1-2 if that

thing is if someone brought 4 then the postage would will be £7.50,

someone did buy 2 and I refunded the difference in the postage

yer it is great stuff,

 

[Dodger]

I'm at mum in laws and found a janitorial supplier a mile down road so gonna give em a call in a mo.

 

[Smurf]

Sorry RC maybe was a bit harsh...

Just saying being competitive in total cost is all what ppl are intrested in thesdays.

 

[Tuffers]

^^^ nasty man.

 

[bluemonkey]

I used hot water and washing up liquid the other day on a clean, came up great

 

[Dodger]

Result I'd say, this place doesn't stock clover stuff they stock cleenol and kemtel so I got some kemtel citragel to try out. They got stronger stuff but gonna give this a go first.

Even better though they stock a big range of Unger stuff and he said ring him and if he ain't got it in he'll pick it up and have it within a couple of days for me.

Real nice bloke as well so anyone around Mansfield area that's C&L janitorial ltd on hallamway.

 

[Dodger]

Oh and that was a fiver plus vat.

Indeed....Sometimes harsh chems can do more harm than good

like I said if someone brought 4 from me then it would be around the same cost as them.

now try to find someone cheaper than me for just one 5lt bottle, with p&p (picking it up in person from a shop doesn't count)

The no nonsense stuff from screwfix is good stuff, I use it on the cars and van under the bonnet at 50:1 and it cuts through engine oil easily.

I assume you are all aware that the Selden stuff isn't allowed to go down the drain! D-limonene is a great citrus degreaser that is biodegradable.

selden stuff is fine to go down the drains!

the place I get it from spoke to Selden company before I brought any to make sure that's its good for the jobs I use it on.
