Prochem Extraclean 5litre (B106)

Prochem Extraclean B106 is a professional, low-foam carpet and upholstery extraction detergent designed for use in hot water extraction machines. It uses micro-encapsulation technology, meaning it surrounds and suspends soil particles during cleaning, allowing them to be removed more effectively and helping prevent rapid re-soiling once the surface dries. It is a mildly alkaline solution (around pH 8–8.5 in use), making it suitable for both synthetic and natural fibres, including wool. It is commonly used for routine and maintenance cleaning rather than heavy restoration work. The formula includes an odour neutraliser, so it not only cleans but also helps remove unwanted smells at the source instead of masking them. Portable extraction machines: 10–15 ml per litre of water Approx. 1:100 (standard cleaning) Up to 1:66 (heavier soiling) Truck-mount systems: Pre-mix 1 part product to 4 parts water (in chemical container) Set flow meter to 2–4 GPH (gallons per hour) Optional deodoriser boost (if required): Add 10 ml odour neutraliser per litre of ready-to-use solution It is suitable for use on a range of textile surfaces, including carpets (both synthetic and wool), rugs, and wet-cleanable upholstery fabrics. Because of its gentle formulation, it is particularly useful on delicate or colour-sensitive materials. However, like all professional cleaning chemicals, it should be pre-tested on an inconspicuous area to check for colour fastness before full application. The fragrance is typically described as a light lemon or citrus scent. It is fresh and clean rather than overpowering, and combined with the built-in deodorising properties, it leaves treated areas smelling neutral and refreshed rather than heavily perfumed. Overall, Extraclean B106 is valued for its low-residue finish, fibre-safe formulation, and ability to keep carpets cleaner for longer after extraction cleaning.
