White cotton sofas
« on: April 02, 2015, 08:23:55 am »
I always seem to struggle with these in getting them really clean.
I usually use Solutions products for carpets but am looking for something different to help on white nd light cotton. Any suggestions of chemicals and or methods that may help

As Stuart says, Haitian Cotton Cleaner works really well as does Derek Boltons magic potion. Fibre Shampoo, Fabric Restorer with Oxybrite and Fibrebuff.

How are you identifying them as cotton?

100% cotton suites are a rarity,  most are blends. I used Dereks mix for quite a few years with great results. But now just use  pureclean  with a freshwater rinse, never find a suite that can't be vastly improve.

Which solution products have you been using?

Hi Stuart

Is that using the cotton cleaner as a rinse in the tank or mixing in the bucket with a shampoo and then rinsing with water?

I have mixed it with a shampoo in the past and applied with a scrunge but found it was leaving White tide marks if you will.  I'm also a bit concerned about using powdered solutions in my tank as I don't want to shorten the life of my pump head.

Mike
I know most are blends but these are predominantly cotton fabrics.
I normally use M Power on upholstery with some assistance from Fusion clean as a foam and on most fabrics that's works well.
Tried SPM and SPM with a brightener but just didn't seem to get the results I wanted hence my post for alternatives
