Stains such as fruit juice, blood and food colouring require quick but controlled intervention. M10 Oxi is applied directly to the stained area, left for a short time, worked with a clean cloth or a suitable method and rinsed with plenty of water. A colour test on an inconspicuous area is recommended before application.
Why are organic stains assessed differently?
Stains such as blood, fruit juice, ice cream and food colouring can not only leave colour on the surface but also travel into the fibres. Temperature, waiting time and the wrong choice of chemical can set the stain. The age and source of the stain and the yarn structure of the carpet should therefore be recorded.
How is the result verified?
On a wet surface the stain may appear to have disappeared completely. Colour and shadow should therefore be checked after drying. If the stain remains, a second treatment should be planned on the basis of the record of the previous one; products should not be mixed at random.
Fruit juice, blood and food colouring stains require quick intervention and can become more firmly fixed to the fibres through the wrong temperature and the wrong product. When removing blood stains from carpets, whether the stain is fresh or dried particularly affects the behaviour of the protein structure on the surface. With fruit juice and food colouring stains, the colouring components may appear to have blended with the carpet's own dye. Colour fastness should therefore be checked before treatment.
When using M10 Oxi, it is important to apply the product only to the stain in a controlled way, not to exceed the recommended dwell time and to rinse thoroughly at the end of the process. The result seen on a wet surface should not be taken as final; shadow and colour difference should be re-examined once the carpet has dried. When using organic stain removers, the operator must wear gloves, goggles and suitable personal protective equipment and follow the safety and temperature information on the product label.
Should hot water be used on blood stains?
Temperature can be critical for protein-based stains. The temperature and application instructions on the product label must be followed.
Is M10 Oxi safe on every fabric?
Although it is stated that it can be used on most fabrics, a test on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended against the risk of colour change.
In conclusion, use a standard test, application and result check form for organic stain types.
