OxyBoost contains alkaline builders and colour-safe oxygen bleach. Added to either carpet or fabric cleaning solutions, it will boost cleaning effectiveness and brighten the finished look.
Product code RP700112.
It helps brighten dingy traffic lanes, remove watermarks and correct browning. OxyBoost will accelerate almost any alkaline detergent.
What it does
- Makes colour look brighter without using brighteners.
- Razorback states it will make polypropylene 10 to 20% brighter when added to presprays and given 10 minutes to work.
- Safe on colourfast carpets and upholstery. Great for fringes on Oriental rugs.
- Can be used to neutralise reducing agents.
- Improves the performance of floor strippers and hard surface cleaners.
Caution
- Do not use on nylon or cotton carpets or fabrics without pretesting. Allow 20 to 30 minutes for possible colour change.
- Do not use on wool.
Directions for use
- Pre-test an inconspicuous area for colourfastness.
- Pump-up or electric sprayer: in 250 ml of HOT water, dissolve 50 grams of OxyBoost for each 10 litres of RTU prespray that you are going to mix.
- In-line sprayer (yellow tip 8:1): in 250 ml of hot water dissolve 120 grams of OxyBoost for each 4.75 litre container that you are going to mix. Add the required amount of prespray concentrate and HOT water.
- Mix only what you will use. The solution must be warm for OxyBoost to work effectively.
- Spray carpet, giving extra attention to traffic areas, agitate, and allow 10 to 15 minutes before extracting.
- For best results, follow standard carpet cleaning practices outlined in AS/NZS 3733:1995 and IICRC S001.
Correction: the standard was previously written as "IICRC S5001"; the carpet cleaning standard is IICRC S001.
Why mix only what you will use
Oxygen bleach releases its oxygen once it is dissolved, and it works fastest in warm solution. A mix left standing in the sprayer loses its activity, so a batch made up in the morning is weaker by the afternoon. Dissolve it fresh for each area.
