Anti-Foam Concentrate Defoamer AFC for Carpet Cleaning Extraction Equipment
Anti-Foam Concentrate Defoamer AFC™ for Extraction Carpet Cleaning
from Bane-Clene® Corp.
New, improved AFC Defoamer is such a highly concentrated liquid silicone-based defoamer that just a few ounces per gallon capacity added to the recovery tank and the vacuum hose will effectively kill foam on contact as the dirty water enters the tank.
Features and Benefits of Bane-Clene AFC Anti-Foam Concentrate Defoamer for Carpet Cleaning:
- A common problem in truckmounted carpet cleaning is FOAM. Foam in the vacuum hose can increase drying time and greatly reduce cleaning effectiveness because it has, in effect, reduced the vacuum hose to 1/2 inch in diameter!
- Foam during hot water carpet extraction cleaning is usually caused by residues from carpet shampoo, spotters and detergents in the carpet. These foamy residues result in the rapid filling of the recovery tank and air movement restriction as the vacuum hose fills up with foam, which results in poor cleaning, wicking problems, streaking, resoiling and poor drying time.
- AFC is thickened so that it will stick to the inside of the vacuum hose to be more effective.
- AFC Anti-Foam Concentrate is a thick emulsion of highly effective silicone defoaming agents specifically designed to kill this type of foam.
- Silicone emulsion defoamers such as Bane-Clene’s AFC Anti-Foam Concentrate prevent foam from forming and cause existing foam to rapidly thin and collapse.
- Helps keeping moisture from reaching the vacuum motor.
- Save your equipment from costly repairs and permanent damage due to excessive foam, especially to the vacuum pump! AFC breaks down and prevents foam buildup in recovery tanks of extraction units by preventing residue buildup.
- Most defoamers are very dilute mixtures of oils to kill the foam, but these are short-lived. Some carpet cleaners try to make their own defoamers such as using fabric softeners, oils, salt, etc. wasting time and money!
- May be used with any extraction machine

Instructions and Directions for AFC Concentrate:
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Read label directions and cautions before using.
- Always test on a hidden or inconspicuous area first.
- Turn on the carpet cleaning extraction machine.
- Disconnect the cleaning tool from the end of the vacuum hose and pour a few ounces of undiluted AFC directly into the vacuum hose so that the entire hose gets coated inside.
- This will clear the hose of foam to get better air movement before cleaning a carpet or rug that has a lot of foamy residue in it.
- In extreme cases of foamy residue in the carpet, before extraction cleaning, apply Chemspec Crystal Defoamer to the carpet to kill the foam at its source.
