Description

Lift ground in carpet soil and rinse it straight back out

Commercial carpets in offices, hotels and hospitality floors take a beating, and the soil that walks in settles deep in the pile where a vacuum cannot reach it. Citrus Extra is a concentrated carpet pre spray detergent that you dilute, spray on and then extract, lifting that ground in soil out with the wash water. The one product covers every carpet a cleaning run turns up, from hard wearing acrylics to new generation stain resistant nylons and pure wool.

The cleaning comes from natural orange oils, which loosen grease and hold the soil in suspension so the extraction wand can carry it away. Being low alkaline, the formulation cleans without the harshness that can grey out wool or lift the finish on stain resistant fibres. One part to thirty parts water handles light to medium soil, while one part to twenty deals with heavily walked in traffic lanes.

Because it is free rinsing, a single pass of clean water takes the detergent back out with the soil instead of leaving a sticky film that pulls dirt straight back in. That keeps carpets looking cleaner for longer, with no need to dose the solution tank or run a separate rinse. Biodegradable plant based surfactants and no added phosphates keep it straightforward to use, and the Safety Data Sheet and Product Data Sheet are on hand for your site records.

Key Benefits:

Rinses out clean so carpets resoil slower: The free rinsing formulation lets one water pass carry the detergent out with the soil, so no sticky residue is left to attract dirt and grey the pile.

One pre spray for every carpet on the run: Low alkaline and gentle on fibres, it suits pure wool, wool blends, new stain resistant nylons, acrylics, Persian rugs and printed carpets, so one drum covers a mixed site.

Natural orange oils do the soil lifting: The orange oil base loosens grease and ground in soil and leaves a light citrus scent, with no extra detergent needed in the tank.

Stretches a long way at 1:30: Diluted one part to thirty for light to medium soil, a 5Lt bottle makes around 150 litres of working pre spray, with a stronger 1:20 mix on hand for heavy traffic lanes.

No tank additives or second rinse to buy: It goes on as a pre spray and rinses out with plain water, so nothing needs dosing into the solution tank and there is no separate rinse chemical to stock.

Usage Guidelines

Use Citrus Extra as a pre spray before hot water extraction.

Dilution: one part Citrus Extra to thirty parts water for light to medium soil, or one part to twenty parts water for heavy soil.

1.Remove litter from the carpet and vacuum thoroughly.
2. Move furniture, or place foil under the legs to protect them.
3. Mix the diluted pre spray at the ratio for the soil level.
4. Spray it evenly onto the carpet. Do not add any chemicals to the extraction tank.
5. Allow a dwell time of 3 to 5 minutes.
6. Extract with clean warm water, around 55 degrees C for stain resistant carpets or 70 to 75 degrees C for other carpet types. Cold water works if warm is not available.
7. Avoid overwetting, and provide ventilation so the carpet dries as quickly as possible.

FAQ

Q. Does a carpet pre spray leave residue that makes the carpet get dirty again quickly?

A. Not this one, because Citrus Extra is free rinsing. A single pass of clean water through the wand carries the detergent back out with the soil, so little is left in the pile to attract fresh dirt. Leftover detergent is the usual cause of fast resoiling, so rinsing it out keeps carpets looking cleaner for longer.

Q. Will Citrus Extra damage wool or stain resistant nylon carpets?

A. No. It suits pure wool, wool blends and new generation stain resistant nylons, because the low alkaline formulation cleans without the harsh alkalinity that can strip fibre treatments or grey out wool. On colour prone carpets like Persian rugs and printed carpets, test a hidden area first.

Q. Do I add Citrus Extra to the extraction machine tank or spray it on first?

A. Spray it on first as a pre spray, then extract with plain water in the machine. Do not add any chemicals to the extraction tank. The diluted product goes into your pump up or in line sprayer at the right ratio, which keeps the rinse clean and the feed lines of truck mounted units clear.

Q. How long should Citrus Extra dwell, and what water temperature should I extract with?

A. Allow 3 to 5 minutes dwell after spraying, then extract. Use warm water where you can, around 55 degrees C for stain resistant carpets and 70 to 75 degrees C for other types. Cold water works if warm is not available. Avoid overwetting so the carpet dries quickly.

Q. Can I just use dish soap or a vinegar mix instead of a carpet pre spray?

A. You can, but home mixes are not made to rinse out cleanly, so they tend to leave residue that resoils the carpet. Citrus Extra dilutes economically, rinses out in a single water pass and suits stain resistant nylons and wool, which a general dish soap or vinegar mix is not formulated to handle.

Q. Does Citrus Extra get rid of odours, and will the orange scent linger?

A. It leaves a light natural orange scent that fades as the carpet dries, rather than a heavy perfume. It is a cleaning pre spray, not a deodoriser, so it lifts general soil but will not mask set in smells like pet urine on its own. Persistent odours usually need a dedicated treatment and attention to the underlay or sub floor.
