Professional Solutions Carpet Prespray 101 – Soil Emulsifier

The Professional Solutions Carpet Prespray 101 is an environmentally preferred soil solvent and emulsifier designed for use before steam cleaning carpets. By breaking down embedded dirt, oils, and grime, this carpet prespray ensures deeper cleaning and reduces the labor needed during hot water extraction. It brightens carpets, prevents browning and shrinking, and leaves fibers clean, fresh, and ready for final extraction.

Unlike harsh chemical cleaners, Carpet Prespray is biodegradable, low-odor, and safe for use in both truck-mounted and portable carpet cleaning systems. It is an ideal pre-treatment step for professional cleaners working in residential, commercial, and institutional settings.
