AGAR Browning Treatment 5L

AGAR Browning Treatment 5L

Professional Mild-Acid Treatment for Carpet Browning, Watermarks & Cellulosic Staining

Carpet browning can develop when cellulosic fibres, moisture and slow drying occur together. During cleaning or water exposure, moisture can interact with cellulosic materials such as jute, cotton or linen and carry dissolved cellulosic matter towards the surface as the carpet dries. The resulting yellow-brown or brown discolouration can remain visible even after the original cleaning process. AGAR Browning Treatment 5L is specifically formulated to address this moisture-related browning problem.

🟤 Designed for Cellulosic Browning

AGAR Browning Treatment is a powerful liquid treatment for removing jute-stain cellulosic browning caused by overwetting or flooding of carpets and upholstery. AGAR explains that browning is commonly associated with moisture reaching cellulosic fibres and then drying slowly, making this treatment a useful corrective product for professional carpet and upholstery restoration work.

🧪 Mild-Acid Formulation

The formulation contains mild acids that help release cellulosic browning stains from the fibres, together with wetting agents that assist the product in spreading into the affected material. Because degraded cellulose is less soluble in acidic conditions than in alkaline conditions, AGAR notes that acid treatment can help reduce the likelihood of browning reappearing after treatment.

💧 Treats Watermarks & Alkaline Residues

In addition to browning correction, AGAR specifies the product for the treatment of watermarks on carpets and upholstery. It can also act as an acid-sour, helping reverse alkalinity left behind by cleaning solutions. This makes it useful as part of corrective carpet-care procedures following alkaline cleaning treatments.

🛋️ Carpet & Upholstery Applications

AGAR states that Browning Treatment is suitable for removing cellulosic browning stains and watermarks from all types of carpet and upholstery. The manufacturer’s technical information also explains that browning can occur in carpets containing cellulosic components such as jute backing, as well as in cotton-based rugs and other textiles.

⚙️ Professional Restoration Use

The product is designed for professional correction rather than ordinary routine carpet cleaning. AGAR recommends applying it carefully to affected areas, controlling moisture and allowing the carpet to dry quickly. Persistent browning can require repeat treatment, with drying between applications and care taken to avoid over-wetting the carpet.

🌱 Product Characteristics

Browning Treatment is supplied as a transparent, colourless liquid with a strong sulphur-dioxide-type odour. It has a pH of 3.0–4.9 and is classified as low foaming. AGAR also states that the product is non-flammable, phosphate-free and biodegradable, with containers recycled or reused where possible.
