Agar Dry Foam Carpet Shampoo Concentrate 5Lt

Carpets in offices, venues and busy public areas grey off between deep cleans, and the usual fix, a soaking wet extraction, leaves the pile damp for hours and the floor out of action.

Agar Dry Foam Carpet Shampoo is a concentrated carpet shampoo that cleans with rich foam rather than a flood of water. Whipped up under a rotary scrubbing machine, the foam lifts and holds soil in the pile without wetting the carpet backing.

As it dries, the dirt sets into a crystal you vacuum out

As the carpet dries, the shampoo and the soil it has lifted set into a brittle, non-oily crystal. A dry vacuum lifts that residue away with the dirt trapped inside it, and the anti-resoiling resins in the formula keep the pile looking cleaner for longer between cleans.

The result is a low-moisture clean that suits regular maintenance on washable carpet, backed by a current SDS and PDS for the paperwork facilities and auditors expect.

Where it can be used: 

Agar Dry Foam Carpet Shampoo is made for carpet with washable fibres. 

• Wool carpet
• Nylon carpet
• Synthetic-blend carpet

That covers most of the cut-pile and loop carpet found in offices, hospitality venues, schools and accommodation, wherever the fibres are washable.

Key Futures:

Low-moisture clean, floors back in use sooner: The rich foam lifts soil without soaking the carpet backing, so the pile dries faster than a wet extraction clean and the area returns to service quickly.

No sticky film to pull dirt straight back: As it dries, the shampoo and trapped soil set into a brittle, non-oily crystal you vacuum out, and anti-resoiling resins keep the carpet looking cleaner between cleans.

A concentrate that stretches across the run: Diluted with water for each job, one 5Lt drum covers many carpet cleans before you reorder, which keeps the cost per clean low on regular contract work.

One drum for every washable pile on site: It cleans wool, nylon and synthetic-blend carpet, so a single product handles the mixed carpet types across an office, venue or accommodation floor.

Made to foam under a rotary machine: Whipped into foam by a nylon brush, it suits the rotary scrubbing gear commercial carpet cleaners already run rather than needing a separate extraction unit.

How to use: Agar Dry Foam Carpet Shampoo is a concentrate applied with a rotary scrubbing machine.

1. Move light furniture out of the room and lift heavier items where you can. Put foil or a moisture barrier under any legs left in place so the damp pile does not mark them.
2. Put out a cleaning-in-progress sign.
3. Dry-vacuum the carpet first to lift loose dust and grit.
4. Dilute the concentrate with water: 1 part shampoo to 10 parts water for heavier soiling, out to 1 part to 20 for light soiling.
5. Apply the diluted shampoo and run a rotary scrubbing machine fitted with a nylon brush, working the foam evenly through the pile.
6. Let the carpet dry, then vacuum to lift the crystallised residue and the soil held in it. If you prefer, wet-vacuum with clean water in the tank instead, taking care not to over-wet the carpet.

Do not mix Agar Dry Foam Carpet Shampoo with other chemicals unless the label or SDS states it can be done.
