ACCESSORIES & CHEMICALS
ACCESSORIES
STAINLESS STEEL UPHOLSTERY TOOL
A lightweight stainless steel cleaning tool that, with
care, will not give the problems of the softer alloy
materials or plastics, the rough edges of which
could damage fine fabric. Suitable for use on all
wet-cleanable fine fabrics with an ultra-fine spray tip
to avoid over-wetting. This tool is essential for
upholstery cleaning.
CARPET & STAIR HAND TOOLS
Larger and heavier hand tool designed for
extraction cleaning stair carpeting, edges, small
rugs and inaccessible areas. Also ideal for rinse
extracting stains after treatment with an appropriate
Prochem spotting agent. These tools are NOT
recommended for upholstery cleaning.
VACUUM & SOLUTION HOSES (EXTENSION)
Extension hose assemblies may be used provided
they conform to the high pressure solution hose
requirements and do not exceed the maximum
recommended length for the vacuum configuration.
The maximum recommended length of hose for
single 3-stage vacuum models is 15m (50ft).
CHEMICALS
Prochem specialise in manufacturing chemical
products for the soft furnishing cleaning industry,
including carpets, floor coverings, upholstery fabrics
and curtains. This section refers only to the basic
Prochem chemicals for general on-site carpet
cleaning using the hot water extraction method.
S775 EXTRACTION PLUS
A wide use carpet cleaning formula containing a
high concentration of non-resoiling detergents,
builders and brighteners for effective cleaning of
synthetic and natural fibre carpets. S775 has an
approximate pH of 8.5 and should be diluted with
hot water at the rate of 10 ml. per litre (1 to 100).
S709 MULTI PRO
A concentrated pre-spotter and traffic lane cleaner
for treating spots, stains and heavily soiled traffic
areas prior to extraction cleaning. Dilute with warm
water at 1 - 4 to 1 - 8 and apply by sprayer. For
best results, brush into pile using
Prochem carpet
pile brush before following up with extraction
cleaning process. S709 has a diluted pH of 10.5,
therefore always pre-test fibres for colour fastness
before use.
B109 FIBRE & FABRIC RINSE
A mild acidic concentrate for use as a
cleaning/stabilising rinse to restore correct pH to the
fibre. B109 will help to stabilise fugitive dyes and
reduce the possibility of 'jute browning' caused by
over-wetting or the use of alkaline cleaning
solutions. B109 can be used in place of S775 in the
extraction machine solution tank, or applied by
sprayer after cleaning. Dilute 10 ml. per litre of
warm water through your machine. B109 is
normally only used when a dye test suggests the
possibility of dye bleed or on light coloured carpets
when JUTE is part of the construction and may
cause BROWNING.
S760 LIQUID DEFOAMER
Always use S760 especially when foam problems
from soapy residue left from previous shampoo
cleaning are encountered. Mix 20 ml. of S760 with
500ml of cold water and add to vacuum hose and
recovery tank. As you drain off to empty the
recovered soiled solution, you simply add more
S760 as necessary. Remember, it is only
necessary to add S760 when extraction cleaning
previously shampooed carpets, so always check the
recovery tank for foam at the start of each job.
