and here I always thought carpet cleaning was not Rocket science , or brain surgery.. !!!Red Zone Ready is twice the strength of a recommended dilution of the powdered coffee stain remover. When you neutralize sodium metabisulfite from a pH of 3 to a pH of 7, the odor goes away as evidenced by Red Zone Ready. It is similar to ammonia as the odor is at pH of 12 and when it falls below pH of 9 the odor goes away. Neutralizing the powder is probelmatic, but even our liquid browning treatment we left with the odor as our perception was that customers would not believe it worked without the odor.
Peroxides work best with organic (caffeinated) coffee and reducers work best with synthetic dyed (decaffeinated) coffee. Some of the better de-caffeinated coffees process the caffeine out without removing the natural color. I visited a coffee plantation when I was in Hawaii (Kona area a few years back) and they processed their decaffeinated coffee without removing the natural color.
Many carpet cleaners flunked high school chemistry.

Yes, there is no appreciable odor. A lot of the one step reducers have an odor remincent of vomit.If I recall correctly, the two part Red Relief mixed the ammonia and the reducer parts, neutralized the bad odor of both.
If we are to follow label directions then they must be written in our language,... how many glugs?!!!LOLTo be fair, what passes for "cleaning chemistry training" is often more than dumbed down, and less than accurate.
The longer I'm at this, the more I know that I'm surely not qualified to teach chemistry myself, and what we do should really come down to reading labels and following directions.
One time years ago, a customer had an issue with a product. I asked if he had followed the directions. He said yes. I asked him to explain the process. After his explanation, I mentioned that his process did not follow the label directions, since I had written the directions. Silence followed and there was no longer any point to the conversation or the complaint.
You've turned into a Marty..
54 years old and never gave politics much thought.
Now I find myself lividly obsessed and really F'n pissed to be forced into living through the stupidest time in US history.
But I get a 6 hour escape from it all today on top of my ATV....
