VIVID
Liquid Detergent-Emulsifier
for
Steam Cleaning Carpets

For use in all "steam-method" carpet cleaning machines. Provides the instant dirt emulsifying action needed for cleaning with such injection-extraction machines.

Low foam at recommended use temperatures - will not interfere with vacuum pick up. However, if carpet has been previously cleaned with a high-foaming detergent, residue from previous cleaning may be activated and cause a foam problem; if so, add about 5 drops Defoam #100 to recovery tank.

Completely water soluble, leaves no residue. Brightens all fabrics by increasing light reflectance.

Use on all carpets: cotton, wool, nylon, acrilan, other synthetics.

Use Dilutions:
For Light Soil...Use 1 ounce per gallon water.
For Moderate Soil...Use 2 ounce per gallon water.
For Heavy Soil...Use 3 ounce per gallon water.

For low foam use water over 100F.
To protect wool fibers do not use water over 100F.

To Use

Clear area as much as practical by removing furniture. Vacuum carpet. Remove grease spots and stains. For best results at doorways and other heavy-traffic areas, prespray with a solution of 6 ounces Vivid per gallon water and let stand about 5 minutes before cleaning.

Steam clean, always overlapping the previously cleaned area to avoid streaks.

If furniture must be replaced before carpet is completely dry, prevent stains by using plastic, aluminum foil, butter chips or similar water-proof material under the legs.
