Actichem Encap Fine Fabric is a unique upholstery cleaning detergent based on advanced technology that provides a total solution for the cleaning of upholstery, delicate fabrics and rugs.

This innovative multi-task product can be used in 3 ways:

Encapsulation Cleaning – For upholstery fabrics and delicate area rugs, a 1:16 solution of Encap Fine Fabric is spray-applied, agitated and allowed to dry.
Low Moisture (Dry) Cleaning – For delicate cottons, a 1:4 solution of Encap Fine Fabric is whipped into a rich foam, which is then used to dry-clean the cotton fabric.
Wet Cleaning Delicate Fabrics – For wet-cleanable fine fabrics, a 1:16 solution of Encap Fine Fabric is spray-applied, agitated and rinsed/extracted with Clean Rinse.

This is a great replacement product for PowerClean FabriCap Ultra.

Benefits

Encapsulating – An advanced blend of high-performance embrittling and encapsulation agents encapsulates the emulsified soil, embrittling it for easy vacuum removal.
Releases Upholstery Soiling – Encap Fine Fabric contains ingredients which specifically target body oils and fats, beverage and food stains and organic soils.
Leaving Fabrics Chemical Free – Encap Fine Fabric residues left in upholstery or rug fibres dry down to a light, brittle crystal that quickly breaks away from the fibre, leaving the fibres chemical-free.
User Friendly – Low odour formula.
Dye and Fabric Stability – The mildly acidic character of Encap Fine Fabric helps prevent cellulosic browning and stabilises fibre dyes.
No Resoiling – Unique embrittling and anti-resoiling polymer keeps fabrics and fibres cleaner for longer.
Fibre Safe – Safe for use on all water cleanable fibres, including silk, cotton, linen, wool, stain-resistant nylon and all synthetic fibres.

Application areas and surface suitability

Delicate Area Rugs – Delicate area rugs, which are wet-cleanable, can be cleaned using encapsulation or the wet cleaning method.
Delicate Cotton Fabrics – These are best cleaned using the Low Moisture (Dry) Cleaning Method.
Delicate Fabrics – Upholstery, which is water cleanable, is best cleaned using the Wet Cleaning Method or the Encapsulation Method.

What is the difference between Encap Fine Fabric and a carpet encapsulating cleaner?
Encap Fine Fabric shares some similarities with a carpet encapsulating cleaner, but with a few critical differences:

Mildly acidic pH, which stabilises dyes and helps prevent browning.
The cleaning ingredients chosen for Encap Fine Fabric specifically target the oily, greasy soiling typical of upholstery.
Specialty stain-removal agents are included to help remove beverage and tannin stains.

How to use

Always pre-test in an inconspicuous location for substrate sensitivity to chemicals. Observe all safety directions and read the SDS before use.
Note: If the fabric or rug is to be protected using a fluorochemical protector, the treated area must be extracted/rinsed.
