Carpet Browning Treatment – Professional Solutions Sequest Fibre Rinse
Professional Solutions Sequest Fibre Rinse is an odourless organic acid rinse used as a carpet browning treatment and alkaline neutralizer after professional cleaning. It helps reduce the risk of browning, colour bleeding, and residue-related problems that can appear after carpets, rugs, or upholstery are cleaned.
This product is especially useful after steam cleaning, shampooing, or alkaline cleaning procedures where residual alkalinity may remain in the fibre. By helping neutralize that residue, Sequest Fibre Rinse gives professional cleaners an added level of protection when working with sensitive materials or problem areas.

Directions for Preventing Browning
If a carpet, rug, or upholstery fabric is suspected to brown or colour bleed, dilute Sequest Fibre Rinse 1:10 with water and spray the surface immediately after steam cleaning or shampooing.
When cleaning with a neutral pH high-foaming shampoo, a small amount of Sequest may be added to the cleaning solution for added protection.
Directions for Treating Existing Carpet Browning
Before using Sequest as a carpet browning treatment, always pretest in an inconspicuous area.
As a starting point, dilute 1 part Sequest with 8 parts water and apply to a small test area. Browning should begin to disappear within approximately 15 minutes.
For affected areas, saturate with a 5% to 10% solution of Sequest. Allow 15 to 30 minutes of contact time, then rinse the area with water.
If browning is caused by soil wicking from the bottom of the carpet pile, re-cleaning with minimal moisture may help correct the issue.
Professional Use Notice
