Actichem Encap Fine Fabric

Professional Encapsulation Upholstery Cleaner for Delicate Fabrics & Fine Rugs

Actichem Encap Fine Fabric is a professional encapsulation cleaner specially formulated for delicate upholstery, fine fabrics and delicate area rugs. Its specialised cleaning technology lifts and releases soil while leaving behind a light, brittle, crystallised residue that can be removed by dry vacuuming after the fabric has dried. This provides effective soil removal while helping minimise sticky residue and rapid re-soiling.

With a mildly acidic pH of 6, Encap Fine Fabric is designed to help stabilise fabric dyes and reduce the risk of browning associated with alkaline cleaning products. Actichem identifies it as suitable for water-cleanable fibres including wool, silk, cotton, linen and synthetic fibres, making it particularly useful for professional cleaning of sensitive textiles.

🧼 What This Product Does

Encap Fine Fabric targets common upholstery soils including body oils, food soils and organic contamination, while its encapsulation technology helps capture loosened soil in a dry, brittle residue. Once completely dry, the encapsulated soil can be removed through thorough vacuuming.

Unlike a conventional carpet encapsulation detergent, Actichem specifically formulates Encap Fine Fabric for the oily and greasy soils commonly encountered on upholstery and includes specialty cleaning ingredients to assist with beverage and tannin staining.

⚙️ Three Professional Cleaning Methods

Encap Fine Fabric offers flexibility for different textile-cleaning requirements:

For encapsulation cleaning, the solution is sprayed onto the fabric, gently agitated, towel-extracted and allowed to dry completely before dry vacuuming removes the crystallised soil.

⚠️ Important

Always pre-test in an inconspicuous area for fibre and dye sensitivity before full application. Follow the appropriate cleaning method for the fabric and read the SDS before use. Actichem also recommends rinsing/extracting treated areas if a fluorochemical fabric protector will subsequently be applied.
