🧴 Actichem VDS 5L

🧪 Volatile Dry Solvent Spotter for Carpet, Upholstery & Delicate Fabrics

Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning often requires specialist products for stains that cannot be effectively treated with water-based cleaning methods. Actichem VDS 5L is a high-performance volatile dry solvent stain remover formulated for removing a wide variety of oily and solvent-soluble spots from carpets, upholstery and delicate fabrics.

Using a carefully selected blend of solvents used within the dry-cleaning industry, VDS is designed to dissolve difficult contamination while evaporating quickly and leaving no significant residue. This makes it particularly useful for fabrics and furnishings that cannot be rinsed with water, as well as touch-up spotting during professional carpet and upholstery cleaning.

🧼 What This Product Does

Actichem VDS is designed to tackle oily and solvent-soluble stains that can be difficult to remove using conventional water-based spotters. Its powerful solvent action is effective on grease, oily soils, adhesives, tar, many paints and inks, providing professional cleaners with a versatile dry-spotting solution.

Because the solvent evaporates rapidly, VDS can be used where rinsing is impractical or undesirable. Actichem specifically recommends it for dry-clean-only fabrics, delicate items, touch-up spotting and encapsulation-cleaning applications.

⭐ Key Benefits

🏢 Application Areas

VDS is particularly suited to professional carpet-cleaning businesses, upholstery-cleaning services, restoration contractors, dry-cleaning applications and commercial cleaning operations.

Actichem specifically recommends the product for dry-clean-only fabrics, delicate items, heavily soiled upholstery areas, touch-up spotting on carpet and upholstery, and solvent spotting during encapsulation cleaning.

The 5 L format is suitable for professional operators carrying out regular carpet, upholstery and fabric spot-treatment work.

📋 Technical Specifications

💨 Fast-Drying Dry Spotting Technology

One of the main advantages of VDS is its rapid evaporation. After application, the selected solvents evaporate without leaving the type of wet residue associated with conventional water-based spotters. Actichem states that the product dries in minutes and does not require rinsing.

This makes VDS especially useful when cleaning delicate furnishings, dry-clean-only fabrics or areas where additional moisture could create problems.

🛋️ Ideal for Upholstery & Delicate Fabrics

Actichem identifies VDS as a preferred spotting and pretreatment product for delicate and dry-clean-only items. It can also be misted onto severely soiled upholstery before normal upholstery-cleaning procedures, helping loosen oily contamination before the main cleaning stage.

✅ Professional Solvent Spotter for Difficult Oily Stains

Actichem VDS 5L provides professional cleaners with a specialised solution for oily soils, grease, adhesives, tar, paints and inks on suitable carpet, upholstery and delicate fabrics. Its volatile dry-solvent formulation, rapid evaporation and no-rinse application make it especially valuable where conventional wet cleaning is unsuitable.

⚠️ Important Safety Information

VDS is classified as a Class 3 flammable liquid. Keep it away from heat, sparks, flames and other ignition sources and ensure adequate ventilation during use. Do not use on acrylic, plastic or other solvent-sensitive materials, including bitumen and latex-backed carpeting.
