CitraBoost is a powerful solvent booster and spotter that gets out tough greasy, oily soils. It is a gentle formula that can be used on natural fibres. Product code RP201000-4L.
Use it three ways: as an additive to boost the grease-breaking power of your prespray, neat as a solvent spotter for tar, grease, oil, gum and adhesives, and mixed with HotShot UHT as a filtration soil remover.
Important: CitraBoost is a flammable liquid (Class 3 dangerous goods) and carries the signal word Danger. Read the safety section before use.

- Excellent solution for removal of filtration-type soiling.

Directions for use
Prespray booster
- Pre-test in an inconspicuous area for colourfastness.
- Pump-up sprayer: 75 ml to 150 ml of CitraBoost per 10 litres of RTU prespray for pump-up or electric sprayers. In-line sprayer (yellow tip 8:1): 240 ml per 4.75 litres of concentrate.
- Prespray over the area to be cleaned, agitate and let dwell for 5–10 minutes.
- Rinse and extract thoroughly. For heavily soiled carpet use a heavier application of prespray. Do not allow prespray to dry before extracting.
- Must be mixed before use in electric pump sprayers.
Gum remover / solvent spotter
- Pre-test in an inconspicuous area for colourfastness.
- Remove loose or excess spill, or to add penetration, rough up the surface of the gum with a gum scraping tool.
- Apply CitraBoost neat, being careful to avoid penetration of the carpet backing.
- Allow 5–10 minutes dwell time.
- Blot or scrape away with a gum scraping tool; repeat if necessary.
- Rinse and extract thoroughly, or blot residue with a volatile dry solvent.
Filtration soil remover
- Mix 60 ml CitraBoost plus 60 ml of HotShot UHT to 1 litre of HOT water.
- Pre-test the mixed solution in an inconspicuous area for colourfastness.
- Spray filtration lines and agitate with a soft brush, let dwell for 5–10 minutes.
- Rinse and extract thoroughly.
Using a solvent spotter well
- Apply it to a cloth or in small amounts rather than flooding the spot. Solvent that reaches the backing can soften latex adhesives and cause delamination.
- Work from the outside of the spot towards the centre so you do not spread it.
- Rinse and extract afterwards. Solvent residue left in the pile attracts soil.
- Natural fibres: Razorback states it can be used on natural fibres. Pre-test, and take particular care on wool and on dyed upholstery.
