i have just been ADVISED that dye stabalizer, is the same as an acid rinse
so do i take it that salt will remove residues that may be present in
carpets or am i barking up the wrong tree !plkease advise, if possible and wich is the best acid rinse to use . merry xmas to one and all .

[Chris R]

Prochem fibre and fabric rinse is very good ( and cheap).

It will remove residues in carpets and fabrics.

I've been using Acetic acid mixed with water until the PH reads 4.5. So far have never had a problem. Any advice as to why I shouldn't be using this other than the obvious. Spill the Acid and the expense will be astronomical.

Hi Jeremy,

Which acid are you diluting and remember if its concentrated always add acid to water and not the other way round.

Also this should be done in a workshop/garage and not in a customers house !

Cheers

How would a acid rinse perform at cleaning a lightly soiled carpet without a pre-spray?

[Bryan H]

Not very well, so why bother.

You should always pre-spray with something, as I am sure you know.  Trying to clean a bone-dry carpet is generally a waste of time unless they are not at all dirty.

The only time I do that, is when just freshening up some Showhouse carpets which already look pristine.
