Bio Break with Citrus Solv is a complete preconditioning formula for carpets and upholstery.
Grease and oils dissolve in minutes while protein soils are digested and readied for complete extraction. It is excellent in restaurants and on problem soils found in homes and apartments.
- POWER OF CITRUS: Bio Break contains the delimonene boost of Citrus Solv to cut
through greasy soils and provides the always pleasant Citrus fragrance. - FAST STRIKING ACTION: Bio Break also contains grease cutting alkaline builders, non-ionic surfactant, and an encapsulated protease enzyme that go to work NOW on the toughest soils.
- SAFER TO USE: Bio Break contains 6 ingredients that are considered “green” for the environment and is safer for the user. It is non-toxic and contains no butyls, harsh solvents, or corrosive alkaline builders.
- ECONOMICAL: Bio Break will dilute for use in the Hydro-Force or other type sprayers for pennies per diluted gallon.
Ideal for restaurants or residential family rooms. Bio Break uses enzymes best suited for breaking down heavy grease and the soil build-up it causes. Five to ten minutes of dwell time is all it should take.
- Highly concentrated for excellent economy!
- Powdered form means long shelf-life.

pH and fibre compatibility
Bridgepoint publish a pH figure for most products in this range, and it is the single most useful number when deciding what to put on a floor.
| pH | Typical use | Fibre caution |
| 2.8 to 5.5 | Fibre set, encapsulating guards, acid rinses, protectors | Suits wool and natural fibre. Strongly acidic products can affect some dyes — test first. |
| 6.5 to 8 | Shampoos, fabric prespray, general cleaning | Broadly fibre safe including wool. |
| 9 to 10 | Encapsulants, powders, general prespray | Usually fine on synthetic. Check the label before use on wool. |
| 11 and above | Traffic lane cleaners, fire restoration, heavy degreasing | Synthetic only unless the label says otherwise. High alkalinity damages wool and can cause browning on natural fibre. |
Rinse to a neutral or slightly acidic finish. Alkaline residue left in the pile attracts soil and can cause the carpet to resoil faster than before it was cleaned. That is what an acid rinse is for, and why the pH of the rinse matters as much as the pH of the prespray.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this on wool?
Check the pH against the table above and read the label. Products at pH 11 and above are for synthetic fibre unless Bridgepoint state otherwise. Wool tolerates a much narrower pH band than nylon, and alkaline damage is not reversible.
Why does my carpet resoil quickly after cleaning?
Usually alkaline residue left in the pile. High pH cleaners work by breaking down soil, but anything left behind stays sticky. Rinsing to a neutral or slightly acidic finish is what prevents it.
Do I need to dilute exactly?
Yes. The dilution on the label is what the published pH refers to. Running a product stronger than specified moves the pH further from neutral, which increases both cleaning power and the risk to the fibre.
Is the documentation Australian?
