Selecting an effective carpet pre-spray can dramatically decrease cleaning times. Such products break up and dissolve problem soiling to allow an extractor to extract it away quickly.
It contains encapsulating surfactants, powerful oxidizers, and Wanders Red Release(tm) red dye remover to quickly and efficiently eliminate Kool-Aid spills, grease deposits, ground-in food debris, and other stubborn stains from surfaces such as Kool-Aid cartons. Plus, it comes portion-controlled for consistent dilution and cost savings with very low VOC emissions!
Fast Drying
Carpet cleaner pre-spray is one of the easiest and quickest ways to speed up dry times by breaking down oils and soils that become trapped within carpet fibers, so when your professional cleaner comes through, it can carry them away more efficiently, leaving behind fresher carpet that dries faster.
Pre-spray carpet cleaners also help speed up drying by making it easier for the carpet to absorb moisture. This can be accomplished by working in a pattern: instead of cleaning an individual line and repeating this action multiple times, work across the room in slightly overlapping lines; when dried, this means it will be harder to see where a cleaner went back over the same area multiple times.
Your spray should be tailored specifically for the type of carpeting and soil conditions you are cleaning. Different pre-sprays exist for light to heavy soiling conditions, as well as other carpet materials like wool or nylon carpet.
When using spray, make sure it is listed at an appropriate distance from the carpet surface. Applying it too close may result in too much of it evaporating before it has the chance to do its work; too far and it may not penetrate deep enough into the fibers to break down oil and soil deposits.
Once the pre-spray has been applied, allow it to sit on the carpet for a few minutes before using a brush to break down and loosen dirt deposits in order to prepare it for stage two of your cleaning process.
Pre-spray made of d-limonene is ideal for heavily soiled or high-traffic areas, featuring low foaming anti-soil cleaner that is CRI Seal of Approval certified and contains no dyes or optical brighteners, with extremely low VOC emissions – perfect for fabric safety while providing spot removal as a pretreatment, extraction, shampooing or bonnet cleaning solution.
Less Residue
Carpet cleaner pre sprays can significantly decrease rapid re-soiling after cleaning. Soapy cleaning products often leave behind a sticky residue that attracts dirt and grime, quickly re-soiling in just an hour compared to carpet cleaner pre sprays that utilize cleaning chemicals that penetrate and break down fibers, leaving no sticky residues to attract more grime or dirt.
The best carpet cleaner pre-sprays use advanced encapsulation technology that encases soil particles, loosening them for easier removal. Furthermore, these sprays require no rinse-freeing agents or anti-foaming agents and are low VOC, non-toxic, and safe for all fabrics and the environment.
Carpet cleaner pre-spraying begins its work immediately upon application to the carpet surface and continues its efforts throughout the cleaning process. Most commonly applied using either an electric or pump-up chemical sprayer, and then brushed or agitated using either a brush machine or grooming rake; this helps loosen and dissolve soils so they can be more readily extracted by hot water carpet extractor.
Pre-sprays designed to break down oil and grease are ideal for challenging traffic lane cleaning jobs and can be diluted up to 24 times water depending on soiling levels – this allows significant cost savings as they can be used at lower concentrations.
Pre-spray carpet cleaners also serve to enhance the overall appearance of carpeting, making it feel and look cleaner while imparting an enjoyable citrus fragrance to the room.
At Plus Manufacturing, the pre-sprays we carry are effective, affordable, and safe for the environment, people, and pets. A great example is Procyon Extreme Carpet Pre-Spray from Procyon Environmental, an innovative non-soap formulation that acts as an encapsulating pre-spray to work alongside CRB machines or encapsulation systems to loosen oil, grease, food debris, and traffic soils without oversaturating carpet fibers with chemical cleaners or degreasers combining advanced cleaning chemistry and natural degreasers to reduce and disperse soiling effects from carpet cleaning machines or systems; even our soap-free Procyon Extreme Carpet Pre-Spray proves this point – effective, economical and safe all around!
Better Cleaning
Carpet cleaner pre-spray is a blend of surfactants and solvents designed to break down, suspend, and emulsify various forms of soil. Pre-sprays should be applied using injection, pump-up, or electric-style chemical sprayers before being lightly agitated with soft brushes, grooming rakes, or cylindrical brush machines for improved cleaning results. Some carpet pre-sprays even include wetting agents that help accelerate soil release for faster cleaning results.
Preconditioning requires ample pre-spray and enough dwell time, and many cleaners try to rush through this step, spraying quickly before starting their vacuuming session. Unfortunately, this doesn’t give enough time for the pre-spray to do its job of dislodging in ground dirt and oils; an ideal quality pre-spray should have at least 15 minutes of dwell time for optimal results.
Pre-sprays can significantly boost your efficiency, enabling you to cover square footage faster by dissolving oils and soils into water for easy extraction with your hot water carpet extractor. This method is beneficial when dealing with old, heavily soiled, or highly contaminated carpeting.
Vacuuming alone often cannot remove all the oil and soil buildup that accumulates over time in the carpet. Without an effective and complete cleaning regimen, these embedded soils will become permanent unless proper action is taken to dislodge them first with an excellent pre-spray or detergent solution, making cleaning much simpler overall.
Pre-spraying is designed to work efficiently and complement dry compounds and scrubbers to achieve maximum effectiveness. They can serve as either pretreatments or standalone encapsulation cleaners on any carpet type and are compatible with dry or wet chemistries; many come certified by CRI Green Seal and Wool Safe certification and contain no soaps or dyes for maximum performance.
Brush Pro Carpet Pre-Spray and Bonnet Cleaner is an example of such an innovative product, combining advanced encapsulation chemistry with a low moisture formula to extract soils quickly from carpet fibers into brushes or bonnet pads without leaving sticky residues behind. Ideal for extended intervals between full-scale carpet cleaning and spot and stain removal, this solution also extends between regular vacuuming.
Fabric Protectant
Suppose you want your fabric furniture and carpets to remain cleaner for longer. In that case, fabric protectant can help repel dirt and oil, making it much simpler for vacuuming to collect it and keep your furnishings looking their best. Fabric protectant helps the fabric repel oil-based debris more effectively, allowing your vacuum cleaner to effectively suction up debris more easily, keeping your furnishings looking newer for longer.
Pre-sprays typically consist of surfactants and solvents to efficiently clean fabric furnishings, usually by being applied directly onto surfaces before being rinsed clean with hot water via a carpet cleaning machine or extractor. They may be diluted with water for reporting/spot removal purposes or at full strength for pretreatment/encapsulation applications.
Dilution rates depend on your intended function and soiling levels (light vs. dark), fabric type (wool or nylon), and reporting task type (5-10 ounces per gallon of water works well), as well as on traffic lanes or biohazard spots that need intensive cleaning (i.e., more aggressive prespray dilution rates up to 10:1). For light pre spotting jobs (5-10 ounces per gallon works excellent). For aggressive cleanings, such as traffic lanes or biohazard spots requiring aggressive biohazardous spot treatment (i.e., biohazard spots), further diluting spray may be needed (i.e., 10:1 or further cutting even further) may be necessary; when it comes time for pre-spray/pre-spray combination such as 10:1;).
When choosing a fabric protectant, be sure that it is CRI (Carpet and Rug Institute) approved and contains low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). Furthermore, any remaining detergent residue from previous cleaning must be eliminated prior to applying the fabric protector, as soap or detergent residue can hinder bonding processes and limit how well its protective effect works.
An effective encapsulating pre-treatment binds tightly to fabric fibers, creating a protective film around soil particles, which is then quickly vacuumed away, leaving your fabric clean and dry. This method significantly decreases re-soiling episodes on materials, saving money by reducing how often furnishings need to be cleaned.
Fabric protectors will also increase the surface tension of fabrics, meaning liquid spills are less likely to absorb into fibers, making spot removers much easier at cleaning up spills without damaging fabric fibers. You may also find that your furniture and rugs require less frequent professional carpet cleaning services! This is excellent news both for yourself and the carpet cleaning companies you use!
