A highly concentrated, water-based silicone emulsion specifically formulated to eliminate foam buildup in the recovery tanks of carpet extractors and automatic floor scrubbers. Defoam-It is an essential maintenance product for any commercial cleaning operation using water extraction equipment -- foam buildup in recovery tanks reduces suction performance, slows cleaning operations, and can damage equipment if left unchecked. A single ounce per gallon of water in the take-up tank is all it takes to keep extraction equipment running at full performance. Shake well before use. Coverage 200 to 400 sq. ft. per gallon.
Key Features:
- Highly Concentrated Silicone Emulsion Formula: Water-based silicone emulsion chemistry delivers immediate, effective foam suppression at just 1 oz. per gallon of water in the recovery tank -- a highly economical defoaming solution for high-frequency commercial carpet extraction operations.
- Eliminates Foam in Extractor Recovery Tanks: Specifically designed for use in the take-up and recovery tanks of carpet extractors and automatic scrubbers -- prevents foam buildup that reduces suction performance and slows cleaning throughput during active extraction operations.
- Extremely Versatile -- Any Foam Problem: Suitable for use in virtually any environment where foam presents a problem beyond carpet extraction -- wet vacuums picking up foaming detergents, automatic scrubbers, and any other commercial cleaning equipment subject to foam buildup from residual shampoo or cleaning solution.
- Simple Application -- Just Add to Recovery Tank: Add directly to the take-up or recovery tank as indicated -- no pre-mixing or special equipment required. If foaming persists, add more product. As experience with the product grows, less will typically be needed per application.
Where to Use:
- Carpet Extraction & Deep Cleaning Operations: Add to the recovery tank of any carpet extractor before and during extraction cleaning of carpets and upholstery in commercial and institutional environments to prevent foam interference with suction performance.
- Automatic Floor Scrubbers: Controls foam in the recovery tanks of walk-behind and ride-on automatic scrubbers during hard floor cleaning operations where foaming detergents or residual soaps create foam buildup.
- Hotels & Hospitality: Keeps carpet extraction and floor scrubbing equipment performing at full capacity during high-frequency cleaning operations in hotel corridors, lobbies, and common areas.
- Building & Property Management: An essential supply item for janitorial crews operating carpet extractors and automatic scrubbers across managed commercial and residential properties.
