Detergent booster additives for carpet cleaning typically contain solvents, oxidizers, surfactants, water softeners, bacteria/enzymes and/or alkalinity/pH elevators. They are designed to improve the soil and stain removal, buffering and water softening performance of detergents.
Types of Carpet Cleaning Boosters:
- Solvent-Based Boosters:
- Citrus APS™ is a solvent-based booster and spot/stain remover manufactured by Bane-Clene.
- Most solvent-based boosters are either citrus-fortified with d-Limonene, such as Citrus APS or contain hydrocarbon solvents that help remove grease and oil.
- Solvent boosters increase the ability of carpet cleaning detergents and traffic lane spotters to separate oily/waxy/gummy soils from carpets, rugs and upholstery.
- Solvent-based boosters can be added to any extraction cleaner or pre-spray for extra cleaning power for extremely soiled areas especially where grease, soot or food oils are a problem.
- Bane-Clene Citrus APS:
- Citrus APS Removes Oily Spots and Stains from Carpets, Rugs and Upholstery. Citrus APS All Purpose Spotter is a high-solvency, biodegradable, highly active spot & stain remover and traffic lane spotter for carpets, rugs and upholstery.
- Citrus APS with d-Limonene citrus and nonionic emulsifiers helps remove soils and spots from carpets and rugs, such as adhesives, crayon, shoe polish, floor wax, chewing gum, oil, tar, ink, lipstick, cosmetics and fresh paint.
- Citrus-based boosters like Citrus APS contain natural citrus oils for a pleasant orange smell.
- Peroxide-Based Boosters, usually powders, chemically alter stains, soil and oil by adding oxygen.
- Oxygen boosters enhance the cleaning power of your carpet cleaning detergent or prespray to eliminate tough soiling, fight odors and brighten colors.
- Peroxide-Based boosters are most effective in warm water to hot water or detergent solutions.
- Ideal for use on stubborn stains, like nicotine stains, or browning on carpet, upholstery and rugs.
- Enzyme-Based Boosters, usually powders, biologically attack food grease and pet urine to improve cleaning.
- Chemspec Enz-All™ is Designed for the Toughest Protein Related Stains, especially for Greasy Heavily-Soiled Restaurant Carpet. Enz-All is a unique blend of surfactants, solvents and enzymes that quickly break down tough organic soils allowing for easy removal from the surface through catalytic action of the enzymes.
- Pro-Zyme is a super concentrate detergent-enzyme blend formulated to quickly and safely digest and break down the toughest heavy soil and grease and biological contamination (blood, vomit, etc.).
- Bane-Clene’s Booster™ fits into this category.
- Booster dramatically improves rug, carpet and upholstery cleaning performance without raising the pH level.
- Reduce both labor and chemical usage with the addition of Booster to the cleaning solution.
- Booster is a concentrated, super-potent blend of Emulon® synthetic detergent complex, water softeners and neutral pH additives, formulated to boost the cleaning power of cleaning agents without the danger of over wetting or browning.
- Booster improves and is compatible with PCA™ Formula 4, PCA™ Formula 5, LCA®-256, Super LCA, TLS® 2000, Preface® and most other cleaners.
- It goes to work immediately, brightening your cleaning results — without the use of optical brighteners, solvents or peroxide bleach.
