One of our BEST BUYS, Traffic Slam is the ultimate pre-spray for all Olefin, Triexta, Sonora, Smart Strand, and Polyester carpets, and works just as well on commercial nylon.
An advanced blend of micro-emulsion surfactants and emulsifiers dissolves the toughest soils. Powerful enough for restaurants, apartments, fire damage, and filtration soils.
- Dissolves oily film on Olefin that other pre-sprays miss
- Works fast - heavy soils are emulsified and ready to extract in seconds
- Highly concentrated 1:32 dilution
- Free-rinsing and non-toxic!
Dilution Ratios: 30ml/Ltr RTU pH: 11 Contains: 3.78Ltr
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?
The safety data sheet, label and specification sheet are Bridgepoint’s North American editions, provided for technical reference. Australian classification, transport and disposal requirements take precedence. Ask us if you need the Australian position on a specific product.
