Agar Dry Foam Carpet Shampoo Concentrate 5L

Agar Dry Foam is a high-performance carpet shampoo designed to produce a rich, stable foam that lifts dirt and grease from carpet fibres without soaking the backing. Ideal for use with rotary scrubbing machines, it provides a deep clean for washable carpets including wool, nylon, and synthetics than dries to a non-oily crystalline residue that can be easily vacuumed away, preventing rapid resoiling.

Deep Cleaning with Encapsulation Technology

Traditional carpet shampoos can sometimes leave behind a sticky, soapy residue that attracts fresh dirt, causing the carpet to look dirty again quickly. Agar Dry Foam solves this problem using advanced crystallising technology. The thick foam suspends soilage and separates it from the fibre. As the carpet dries, the shampoo and trapped dirt dry into fine, non-sticky crystals. These crystals are brittle and non-oily, allowing them to be completely removed during the post-clean vacuuming process, leaving the carpet soft, bright, and cleaner for longer.

Safe for Delicate Fibres

Because Dry Foam relies on the cleaning power of foam rather than heavy water saturation, it is an excellent choice for maintaining carpets where overwetting is a concern. It is pH balanced and safe for use on all washable carpet types, including delicate wool blends and modern synthetic piles. The low-moisture approach also significantly reduces drying times, getting the area back in use faster.

Usage Instructions

Preparation

• Vacuum the carpet thoroughly to remove loose dry dust and grit.
• Dilute Agar Dry Foam with water according to the label instructions (typically 1 part Dry Foam to 16–20 parts water).

Application (Rotary Method)

• Add the solution to the tank of a rotary scrubbing machine equipped with a nylon carpet brush.
• Feed the solution onto the brush to generate a rich foam.
• Massage the foam into the carpet pile using the machine, working in overlapping passes to ensure even coverage.
• Avoid overwetting; the foam should do the work.

Finishing

• Allow the carpet to dry completely. During this phase, the dirt is encapsulated into crystals.
• Once dry, vacuum the carpet thoroughly to extract the crystalline residue and the soil it has trapped.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dry Foam

• Q. Can I use this on wool carpets?
• A. Yes, Agar Dry Foam is suitable for use on wool, nylon, and synthetic carpets. It is gentle on fibres while providing a deep clean.
• Q. Do I need a wet extraction vacuum to remove the foam?
• A. No. This product is designed to dry into a powder (crystal). You simply use a standard dry vacuum cleaner to remove the residue once the carpet is completely dry.
• Q. Does this prevent the carpet from getting dirty again?
• A. Yes. Because it dries to a non-oily, brittle crystal, it does not leave a sticky residue. Sticky residues are the main cause of rapid "resoiling" (where the carpet attracts dirt quickly after cleaning).
• Q. Is this suitable for steam cleaners (extraction machines)?
• A. No, this is a high-foaming product designed for rotary scrubbing. For steam cleaning/extraction machines, you should use a low-foaming detergent.

Deep Cleans & Protects – Effectively removes dirt while protecting carpet fibres.
Rich, Stable Foam – Lifts and suspends embedded dirt for easy removal.
Anti-Resoiling Agents – Helps prevent rapid re-soiling, keeping carpets fresh.
Safe for Washable Fibres – Ideal for wool, nylon, and synthetic blend carpets.
Versatile Use – Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial carpet cleaning.

Preparation:
Dilute the shampoo concentrate with water according to the recommended ratio.
Application:
Use a rotary scrubbing machine equipped with a nylon brush to apply the solution. The machine will massage the rich foam into the carpet fibers.
Drying:
Allow the carpet to dry. As it dries, the shampoo and soilage will form a crystalline, non-oily residue.
Vacuuming:
Once dried, vacuum the carpet to remove the residue and trapped dirt.
