When carpets have been extraction-cleaned with highly alkaline detergent, an alkaline residue may be left in the fibres. By rinsing with NEUTRALIZER, this residue is neutralized and the pH level is returned to an acceptable, neutral value.
When porous hard floors are stripped with alkaline polish removers, a similar alkaline residue may be left in the floor’s surface. By rinsing with NEUTRALIZER in the rinse water, such residues are neutralized so they will not be able to spoil the floor sealer when it is applied to the floor.
Application
Carpets - Neutralizing Alkalinity:
- Dilute NEUTRALIZER to 1 in 100 and spray onto the carpet. Extract with vacuum only.
Carpets - Removal of Browning Stains:
- Pre-test for colourfastness by dabbing NEUTRALIZER on a white cloth onto each colour in the carpet or upholstery. If no dye transfer or fading appears, it is safe to proceed.
- Spray neat NEUTRALIZER onto browning stains and gently work in using a carpet rake, brush, cloth or gloved hand.
- Do not create a mist but use a coarse spray.
- Do not rinse carpets, but do rinse upholstery with a 1 in 100 solution of NEUTRALIZER.
- Dry as much as possible by wet-vacuuming or blotting with a clean white cloth or paper towel.
- Repeat application if necessary on persistent stains.
Hard Floors - Neutralizing after stripping:
- Dilute NEUTRALIZER to 1 in 200 in the rinse water and then rinse the floor in the usual way.
- It is best to rinse very porous floors with larger volumes of rinse water.
