Instructions for using Streetex ®
Streetex® Spray Spotting Solution
To Pre-Spot: Spray garments in areas where soil can usually be expected (necklines, underarms, hemlines, cuffs) and over visible stains elsewhere. Then, continue the drycleaning process.
As a Leveling Agent: Spray Streetex solution on areas of garments that have been wet-spotted before cleaning to eliminate the risk of ring formation. When working on light-colored, natural fibers, apply Streetex to wet-spoted area, but allow area to dry before drycleaning.
To After-Spot: Spray Streetex solution on stains or soiled areas that have already been through the drycleaning process. Reclean garment.
Streetex Batch Additions for Hard-to-Clean Loads:
Add Streetex-water “batch” solution directly to the load at a arate of 1/2 to 3/4 ounce per pound of clothing. Run on batch five to eight minutes before filter circulation.
Streetex Tannin Formula, Streetex Protein Formula, and 2-1 Formula®
Apply appropriate formula directly to the stain. Tamp with spotting brush or work gently into stain with spatula. When soil is loosened from fabric, flush with water or steam (2-1 Formula can also be flushed with Picrin. See 2-1 Formula catalog page.) Dry, then continue the drycleaning process.

StreeTEX®
A pre-spotter for commonly soiled areas
Get it Clean the First Time™
Pre-spotting with Streetex is the best prevention against recleans. Quickly sprayed over general areas where soil can normally be expected and over visible stains elsewhere, Streetex penetrates and loosens most water-soluble stains quickly and effectively. Stains can then be flushed from fabric in the drycleaning process.
Necklines, underarms, hemlines, pockets and cuffs are areas where you can generally expect to find common soiling. If pre-spotted with Streetex, these stains can easily be removed with minimum time and trouble. Because spray spotting is so fast, easy and effective, many drycleaners have made it a habit to pre-spot just about every garment.
Pre-spotting with Streetex is the fast and easy way to remove water-soluble stains so you can reduce the need for after-spotting.
Goes to Work Faster.
Streetex contains a powerful wetting agent to give water more penetrating power so it works faster on stains. This is essential for quick and successful pre-spotting.
Easy to Use.
Streetex solutions can be applied quickly with the spray gun to pre-spot general areas of a garment before drycleaning. This requires very little spotting experience and also reduces the need for after-spotting.
Acts as a Leveling Agent.
Some stains call for wet spotters which can leave rings on a garment after drycleaning. In these instances, Streetex can be used as a leveling agent before drycleaning to eliminate the risk of ring formation.
Helps Clean Heavily Soiled Loads.
When added to the wheel, Streetex can effectively treat an entire load of heavily soiled garments such as rainwear. Used in this manner, Streetex can save you time because it eliminates the need for treating each garment individually.
Removes Stains Safely.
Certain fabrics and dyes are pH sensitive and cna be damaged by acidic or alkaline formulas. Streetex has a neutral pH so it will safely remove stains without damaging fabric or dyes.
Prevents Possible Discoloration.
It’s important that a pre-spotter contain no ingredients which may discolor solvent and fabrics. That’s why Streetex remians clear when mixed with water, so no discoloration of solvent or fabrics will occur.
Versatile.
Streetex can be used with water as a pre-spotter, or can be combined with Picrin® volatile dry-spotter to create the versatile 2-1 Formula® combination wet/dry spotter to remove mystery stains. Because Streetex is clear and has superb detergent properties, it also makes an excellent neutral lubricant. Further, Streetex is effective as a base ingredient for “udder-mixed” protein and tannin formulas.
