Precision Stain Removal with Actichem Citrus Gel

The biggest risk when using a solvent spotter is “delamination”—where the liquid seeps through the carpet and dissolves the glue holding the backing together. Actichem Citrus Gel eliminates this risk. Its viscous, gelled formula allows for extended dwell time on the stain itself, breaking down the contaminant at the molecular level while remaining suspended on the face fiber.

Why Professionals Choose the Citrus Gel Formula

• Controlled Solvent Action: The gel consistency ensures the active d-Limonene solvents target the spot, not the carpet backing or underlay.

• Universal Oil-Based Spotter: Highly effective against “nightmare” stains like chewing gum, asphalt/tar, blue tack, grease, crayons, and oily food spills.

• Water Rinseable: Formulated with advanced emulsifiers, allowing the gel and the dissolved stain to be completely flushed out with a standard hot water extraction rinse.

• Fiber Safe: Safe for use on most synthetic and natural fibers (always pre-test for colorfastness and solvent sensitivity).

• Pleasant User Experience: Leaves a fresh, natural citrus fragrance rather than the harsh “chemical” smell of traditional dry-cleaning solvents.

• Safety Profile: A safer alternative to chlorinated solvents, making it ideal for use in schools, hospitals, and residential homes.

Professional Application Guide

1. Preparation: Scrape off any excess solid matter (like hardened gum) using a blunt spatula.

2. Application: Apply Actichem Citrus Gel directly to the spot. Use sparingly; a little goes a long way.

3. Dwell Time: Allow 2–5 minutes for the gel to liquefy the contaminant. For thick gum, you may need to gently agitate the surface of the gel into the stain.

4. Agitation: Use a spotting brush or spatula to gently break up the stain once it has softened.

5. Extraction: Thoroughly extract the area with warm water. Ensure all gel residue is removed to prevent any “tackiness” that could attract soil.
