Targeted Stain Removal with Actichem POG

Actichem POG is a staple in the kit of every professional New Zealand carpet cleaner. While many solvent spotters are difficult to rinse and can leave oily rings, POG is formulated with high-quality emulsifiers that allow it to be flushed easily with water. Its citrus-based formula provides a powerful punch against industrial grime while being significantly more pleasant to use than traditional harsh chemical solvents.

Why Professionals Choose Actichem POG

• Universal Oil-Based Spotter: Effectively removes a wide spectrum of stains including wet paint, motor oil, cooking grease, tar, lipstick, and chewing gum.

• Cleaning Booster: Can be added to your pre-spray solution (10ml–30ml per Litre) to give it the extra “grunt” needed for commercial kitchen carpets or high-traffic automotive showrooms.

• Hard Surface Versatility: Excellent for drawing oils out of porous hard surfaces like natural stone and concrete when mixed with Actisorb.

• Low VOC & Non-Flammable: A safer, more environmentally conscious alternative to old-school flammable solvents without sacrificing any cleaning power.

• Fiber Safe: Safe for use on all common carpet fibers and upholstery fabrics (always pre-test for solvent sensitivity).

Professional Application & Safety Guide

1. Preparation: Scrape up any excess solid matter from the spot before treatment.

2. Application: Apply Actichem POG to a clean white absorbent cloth first, then blot the spot. For severe stains, it can be applied directly via a trigger spray.

3. Agitation: Blot or “tamp” the area. Do not rub, as this can distort the fibers.

4. Dwell Time: Allow the solvents to penetrate and liquefy the stain for 1–3 minutes.

5. Extraction: Always extract the treated area with warm water or an emulsifier solution to remove both the stain and the solvent residue.

6. Caution: Do not use on solvent-sensitive surfaces such as bitumen-backed carpets, certain plastics, or polymer coatings.
