Oh boy, im afraid of the answer..... lol. Would you share it with me? I already feel like an idiot for asking.
Just justify it the same way you do padding residentialI find that I feel like a portable cleaner when I use those types of products, always second guessing myself if the results wouldn't have been better had I had more heat, vacuum, alkalinity or any of the other mysteries that come from not going all out with your professionalism.
Let me guess, a customer is requesting a safe/green/eco/vegan/no parfume/kosher/woke cleaning agent to be used to protect her pets, itchy kids or sick relative?
Ask if she has a laundry dtergent that has passed muster and doesnt give the pet, kids or relative the hives, cause hair loss, coughing fits or runny stools, and use that as your pre spray and rinse with just water.
(insider secret: many carpets, and I do mean MANY, can be CLEANED with JUST a MicroFiber bonnet and JUST water.Just justify it the same way you do padding residential
Hey buddy, what are your main concerns? Most products today don't use soap. Are you looking for a Green product?Is there an alternative product on the market to Procyon?
I love carpet details nothing better for large amount of blood removal. Never have to return a second time . I also use it on a first time job not knowing who did what prior. Makes my job easier. Today is my 42 year in cpt cleaning also just past 81 last week slowing down but still enjoying cleaning. jzView attachment 120961
I use Procyon
Procyon was "green" before that term existed. It was IAQ driven. Back in 2001 there was independent lab testing that showed the amount of voc's that were allowed. Across the board, Procyon was ND (Non Detectable). The main product that I am looking for is a spot and stain remover for the customer to have. I had people seek me out to get more. During my journey there was all kinds of spot and stain remover for promotional purposes, that I just refuse to give out.Hey buddy, what are your main concerns? Most products today don't use soap. Are you looking for a Green product?

Yet you’ve never told us what is itIt has a very basic ingredient and it is very overpriced for what it is
I need to get my Odyssey first, and think im going with Topps spotter. I was just looking for something for the customer to use after I clean. Something they wont ruin my work with.This is an EXCELLENT give away product, either mix it yourself or they will put it in a 8 or 16 ounce bottle with a custom label on it.

You dont want to hand out TOPSPOT as a freebie.I need to get my Odyssey first, and think im going with Topps spotter. I was just looking for something for the customer to use after I clean. Something they wont ruin my work with.
Thanks to all here for the input. Much appreciated, once again.

What would be a good rinse free encapsulant product to hand out?You dont want to hand out TOPSPOT as a freebie.
Although not a true encapsulated, Procyon spotter can be left on the carpet as it will crystalized. Procyon will private label spotters for youWhat would be a good rinse free encapsulant product to hand out?

I used cleanfree for a long time it is a great product but once I switched to more aggressive products I phased it out. I used it mostly as a rinse but at times I used it as a prespray and it was ok. I think it is the best soap free cleanerIs there an alternative product on the market to Procyon?
also I wanted to add this is the best product I found for commercial jobs that frequently clean so nothing is left behind I think once I found the prochem all fiber rinse powder I stopped using itI used cleanfree for a long time it is a great product but once I switched to more aggressive products I phased it out. I used it mostly as a rinse but at times I used it as a prespray and it was ok. I think it is the best soap free cleaner
