Olefin Carpet Preconditioner / Prespray / Traffic Lane Spotter
Olefin Carpet Prespray / Preconditioner Traffic Lane Spotter for Preconditioning Dirty Olefin Carpets
Use Olefin Pre-Conditioner Carpet Prespray / Traffic Lane Spotter for oily soils, especially on olefin carpet.

From the lubricant and metal forming industry, Bane-Clene introduces an answer to this problem.
