CLEANING CHEMICALSAGAR Sour Softener is a professional dual-action laundry finishing additive designed to both soften fabrics and neutralise residual alkalinity left behind after the main wash cycle. Developed for industrial, commercial and household laundry operations, it helps restore fabrics to a more suitable pH while improving their feel, softness and overall finish.
During laundering, alkaline detergent residues can remain within textile fibres after the wash. AGAR Sour Softener uses a mild organic acid to neutralise this carried-over alkalinity during the final rinse, helping restore the pH of the fibres. At the same time, its fabric-conditioning action gives washed textiles a softer, fuller feel and helps reduce static cling.
Sour Softener is formulated with dimethyl ditallow ammonium salts, solubilisers, perfume, optical brightener, blue colour and a mild organic acid. This combination provides both souring and fabric-softening functions in a single laundry additive.
AGAR states that the product can help suspend soils and mineral particles to facilitate rinsing, reduce static cling, shorten drying times and leave laundered articles with an appealing fragrance.

Sour Softener is particularly useful in commercial laundry operations, hospitality, healthcare, accommodation and textile-processing environments where consistent fabric finishing is important. Its dual-action chemistry helps simplify the finishing stage by combining alkalinity neutralisation and fabric conditioning in one product.
AGAR recommends dispensing Sour Softener through its automatic laundry liquid feed system, with the required quantity determined by machine size, load and the other laundry chemicals used during the wash cycle. It should never be poured directly onto clothing.
For professional laundries seeking a reliable finishing additive, AGAR Sour Softener provides a practical combination of fabric softening, alkaline-residue neutralisation, static reduction and fresh fragrance for consistent textile-care results.
