Instructions for using SOFSPOT ®
For Sensitive Fabric Pre-Spotting: Use at the spotting board to remove water-soluble stains such as food, beverages and perspiration from the following types of sensitive fabrics.
silk
linen
rayon
wool
cotton
1. Apply SOFSPOT directly to fabric. Completely saturate stained area.
2. Work into the stain by lightly tamping with a dry-side brush or work gently into stain with spatula. Never scrub silk or rayon.
3. When soil is loosened from fabric, continue with the drycleaning process. There is no need to flush, rinse or dry the stained area. Simply dryclean in the usual manner.
Please Note:
SOFSPOT is safe to fabrics and most colors. If color fastness is questionable, test garment in a hidden area.
To Control Moisture During Drycleaning Process (Leveling): The problems caused by drycleaning fabrics that contain moisture introduced during pre-spotting can be overcome by using SOFSPOT. This product allows you to use a technique often referred to as “leveling.” It works by controlling the residual moisture that is often left over from wet-side stain removal procedures after the spotted area has been rinsed and air-dried with the spotting gun.
Used as a leveling agent, SOFSPOT can help prevent the following problems:
shrinkage
ring formation
pilling
discoloration
Follow These Instructions:
1. Use wet-side pre-spotter, such as protein or tannin formula, according to manufacturer’s directions.
2. After fabric has been rinsed and air dried with the spotting gun, apply SOFSPOT on the pre-spotted areas. This will control any residual moisture that often remains in the fabric.
3. Lightly tamp the treated area, including fabric area just outside of ring. Do not flush, rinse or dry.
4. Continue with the drycleaning process.
SofSPOT®
A stain remover for treating stains on silk and other moisture sensitive fabrics
Gets the Soil. Preserves the Garment.™
For treating water-soluble stains on sensitive fabrics.
Removing stains from sensitive fabrics like silk, rayon, wool, linen, and cotton can be a real challenge. That’s because color damage can result from the pH or moisture in stain removal agents, or even water from the steam gun. Other damage, such as rings, localized redeposition and more can occur if moisture remains in the treated area when it’s drycleaned.
SOFSPOT helps you avoid these problems. With SOFSPOT you get safe, effective removal of water-soluble stains. At the same time, you get protection from the damaging effects of moisture remaining in fabrics after wet-side spotting.
Care should always be taken when attempting to remove stains from sensitive fabrics, but now the job is easier with SOFSPOT, specifically formulated to minimize the problems associated with wet-side stain removal.
How SOFSPOT Can Help:
Removes Stains Quickly.
SOFSPOT contains a powerful wetting agent for rapid penetration of the stained area and faster stain removal.
Safe for pH Sensitive Fabrics.
Colors on silk and rayon fabrics can be pH sensitive, leading to damage by acidic or alkaline stain removers. SOFSPOT is neutral, so it will remove stains safely without damaging the color.
Minimizes Dye-Bleeding at the Spotting Board.
Moisture sensitive dyes can bleed when exposed to stain removers that contain moisture. SOFSPOT’s formulation removes water-soluble stains, like food and perspiration, while minimizing dye bleeding at the spotting board.
Prevents Costly Re-runs.
Prespotting with SOFSPOT delivers more stain-free garments after drycleaning to save on extra handling. This can be especially important when a short running time is used to protect a fragile garment or trim.
Helps Prevent Localized Redeposition.
SOFSPOT has outstanding lubrication and soil dispersion properties to help prevent redeposition and aid in the removal of loosened soils from the fabric.
Controls Fabric Moisture.
To sensitive fabrics, moisture can mean damage in the drycleaning bath. Areas where residual moisture remains after spotting will attract impurities like insoluble soil and dyes to cause localized dicoloration or redeposition. Light-colored soft wools and cottons are especially susceptible. In addtion, uncontrolled moisture can result in rings, color loss, shrinkage, pilling, or excessive wrinkling of other susceptible fabrics. SOFSPOT contains a powerful leveling agent that provides needed moisture management when the detergent type or concentration is inadequate.
Workplace Friendly!
Because SOFSPOT contains no perchlorethylene, its use will not contribute to the ambient perc vapor concentration in the cleaning area.
