I just read an article on “acid rinse” to get out browning on certain fibers. I was mostly interested in the fringe on rugs. I would like to know more about this. Do we have a product that could accomplish this?
Orange Deodorizer falls on that side of the PH scale and can be used as an acid rinse I believe (diluted in water of course). They do make “bleaches” specifically for the fringes on rugs though. Most fringes are not truly white, rather off white, so regular bleach is not recommended for many reasons besides the obvious. In order to “bleach” the fringes you have to do one side at a time and hang it to completely dry (fringe side down) between applications so no “bleach” gets on the rug itself as it drips dry. Very time consuming, high risk, and you should charge accordingly if you are going to offer this.
Our Coffee Remover will also work well for this. You should clean the fringe with 101 Cleaner–Pro Spotter if needed, then treat with Orange Deodorizer and water mixture, usually a 1-4 ratio, or with our Coffee Remover.
A light spray of orange deodorizer & water will help prevent water rings/ stains from reapearing after cleaning light colored upholstery.
acid rinse works good on water damaged areas too. It can help remove the “water ring”or “brown out” and help release minerals in the fibers.
Haven’t had any fringe to clean lately but can’t wait to try the coffee remover on it to see how it works.
I finally used up the last of my old stock of coffee remover. I didn’t update my MSDS sheet and instructions with the new product in my owners manual in my van. Being in the customers home (no one home), I called “Little John” at corp. for instructions. I couldn’t believe the difference. Much, much less odor and much better results. (The coffee remover is 2.5 ph). I cleaned up a spilled pot of coffee with out an extractor in only a few minutes!!! I just sprayed it on. Used about 1/3 of the bottle and buffed, sprayed 101 mix and buffed again. Gone! I did use protector last time I cleaned there. I’ve since used CR for a lot of spots that in the past used orange deodorizer. The OD still smells better though. Try it!
How does the Coffee remover make it possible to do without the extraction? If you have a spilled pot of coffee, there is still coffee in the pad. I was under the impression that the CR just helped remove the stain that wouldn’t come out with Pro Spot.
Good Question. But it was gone with out extraction. Most of it was gone by spraying and 3-5 minutes dwell time before buffing! Doug, I don’t want to come across cocky here, I drive a van without knowing everything about. If it works, so do I.
I’m guessing wet vs dry played a part in that. If it’s still wet, more can wick up from pad. If it’s dry/old, as long as you don’t oversaturate and get the pad wet again, what is in the pad won’t be an issue since it probably won’t leave an strong odor like pet issues do.
What? Sorry, I guess I don’t get either response or the concept behind leaving coffee remover in the carpet.
The way I saw it, was the Coffee Remover seemed to work a lot like red dye remover. It seemed to alter the stain like it became mostly transparent. I still went over it several times with the buffer. I feel protector previously applied helped a lot here. I’m I not understanding or answering your question?
