Specifically formulated as a cold water extraction product to prevent color loss when cleaning wool or any other fiber that presents a bleeding problem. An acid side detergent formulation that gently, yet effectively cleans even the most challenging of potential bleeders.
Buffered For Economy Colorfast™ for Rugs in concentrate has a pH of 2.87, yet when diluted maintains its acid cleaning ability with a pH of 3.2. Colorfast™ for Rugs allows you to clean in confidence and eliminates the need to use an acidic textile rinse. This saves you time and reduces the chance of overwetting.
Chemspec Helpful Hints Always perform a colorfastness test before cleaning any natural fiber material or a material manufactured with acrylic fibers.
To perform a colorfastness test, apply a ready-to-use solution to a white terry cloth towel. Apply the moistened towel to each of the colors in the material, using pressure to hold the towel to the material for a minute or two.
Remove the moistened towel, allow a minute or two for dwell, then re-apply a dry towel to the tested area.
Remove the towel and look for color transfer. If color transfer is evident, test with a different agent. If no color transfer is evident, proceed with cleaning.
Suggestions: Cold temperature retards color bleeding.
When cleaning potential bleeders it is best to clean them on a flat surface and allow them to dry flat as well. Do not hang to dry.
Easy to Use ColorFast ™ for Rugs dilutes 1 6 :1 ( 8 ounces to a gallon of water ) . When diluted in cold water , Color Fast™ for Rugs is even more effective in preventing bleeding.
