CRYSTAL® STAIN BLOCK Additive
This is a machine chemistry. This chemistry is used with the Smart Care® TRIO or TWIN as part of your routine. This is a concentrate and requires dilution before use.
CRYSTAL® STAIN BLOCK is formulated using a stain-resist additive formulated to be used on its own or mixed with CRYSTAL DRY® EXTRA for use in areas that need extra protection from frequent food and organic stains. CRYSTAL® STAIN BLOCK utilizes acid dye site blockers to target undyed sections of fibers that are naturally occurring during the manufacturing process filling them temporarily to prevent stains or other colors from organic stains binding to them which allows the spill to set more deeply . This process helps prevent carpet fibers from being stained by wine, coffee, red soft drinks, fruit juices, and more, making future spots easier to address at the next scheduled clean.
CRYSTAL® STAIN BLOCK works with your existing maintenance chemistry, not instead of it. Add one 12 oz. bottle to 2 gallons of CRYSTAL DRY® EXTRA solution or dilute per the instructions on the label and apply on its own . It is ideal for conference rooms, food service areas, lobbies, cafeterias, and any area where spills are a regular reality.
Each case contains 12 x 12 oz. bottles - 1.125 gallons of chemistry
When to Use
Add it to your routine CRYSTAL DRY® EXTRA maintenance clean in high-spill areas on a scheduled basis. It is also the right follow-up step after a CRYSTAL® QUICK RESTORE restorative clean before returning to your regular maintenance schedule.
