Description
Fabric Oil Remover (FO-R) is an alkaline laundry degreaser for heavy oil and grease on fabrics. It is made for work clothing and textiles that ordinary detergent cannot clean, such as chefs’ uniforms, mechanics’ and workshop clothing, and massage parlour towels. Its alkaline formula, at pH 9, breaks down the heavy oil and grease that everyday laundry detergent leaves behind.
It is used as a pre-treatment or a soak, and is not added to the machine’s detergent dispenser. For spot stains, apply it directly to the oily area, leave it to work, then wash. For whole, heavily soiled garments, dilute it about 1:10 in a bucket of water and soak, from a few hours up to overnight depending on how heavy the soiling is, then machine wash as normal.
It is an unscented, white liquid. These garments are usually workwear, where colour fading is less of a concern, but as a precaution on dark, denim (indigo) or delicate fabrics, test a small, inconspicuous area first. It is for fabrics only; for hard surfaces, a dedicated degreaser should be used instead.
It is suitable for kitchens, workshops, massage parlours and factories, as well as for retail, and is available in both retail and bulk sizes.
