Hi all, i,m reading with great interest about Hydrogen Peroxide at 6% with hair dryer.
Could any one explain this to me.
Is there a particular product? Or can I buy HP from,I don`t know....a hair dresser??
HP at 6% with what? Water?
It sounds like just the thing I could do with.
Regards
George

The product I said 'knockout' is a two part product of hydrogen peroxide and ammonium hydroxide freshly mixed works better on red wine than anything else I've ever tried, must acid rinse though or you may get browning.

Get it from Hydramaster.

I use it as follows:

Pre-wet area including both stain and surrounding area with fresh water.
Using a paint brush or trigger spray apply Hydrogen Peroxide/Water @ 50/50 I use the stuff from local chemist at 60p bottle. Cant remember strength.
Warm gently with hair dryer and watch as it fades.
Rinse with handtool and cold water when done.

The knockout mentioned is similar to Chemspec Helpmate. The ammonium does the same action as the hair dryer providing a catalyst to speed the reaction.

 I am not a huge fan of it on white cotton as it can be a little too agressive. At least with the hair dryer method you control the speed of reaction. I have to say though I have never used the knockout product. Its possibly not as strong as Helpmate / Dyegone.

Interesting that's a cheaper alternative.

The Hydramaster product will be the same as Chemspecs as a lot of there stuff is made in the same factories in the US.

I recently seen chemspecs one they use the same mix sprayer as HM also.

The Dye Gone & Helpmate are UK manufactured Chemspec products.

On synthetics or commercial work I would still go with the 2 part stuff. The Hydrogen Peroxide method is cheaper but takes a lot longer. Fine if you have one bad spill on a nice piece. Not so good if you have a spills all over an office.

soduim perborate (because the wine is a natural dye) and heat to over 70 degrees using whatever method you have.

best way is to mix the perborate powder into some warm water and then spray a small area with it.  leave it 5 mins and then heat it up gently using either an iron or a hair dryer.

get the customer to sign it off first though. 

just in case.
