FAQs
Can this be used for hand-scrubbing?
While it is specifically formulated for extraction machines, it can be used for spot cleaning, though caution should be taken to ensure it is thoroughly rinsed out.
Is this safe for wool carpets?
Always perform a patch test first. While effective, check your carpet manufacturer's care guidelines regarding the use of detergents on specific natural fibers.
How much should I dilute for light cleaning?
You can start at a ratio of 1:100 if the carpets are only lightly soiled, adjusting up to 1:80 for more thorough cleaning.
Does it remove pet odors?
Yes, the deodorizing agents are effective at breaking down organic odors associated with pets when the solution penetrates the fibers thoroughly.
Does this require a separate defoamer?
In most machines, the low-foaming properties of Teepol are sufficient, but if you have a high-suction machine prone to foam, a small amount of defoamer may be used.
What is the shelf life?
When stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the product remains effective for several years.
Troubleshooting
Excessive foam in the recovery tank
The dilution ratio may be too strong or the carpet contains heavy residue from previous non-extraction cleaners. Dilute further and perform a water-only rinse pass.
Streaking or patchy drying
Ensure the nozzle spray is uniform and the carpet is not being oversaturated. Slow down your pass speed to ensure consistent extraction.
Dirt reappears shortly after cleaning
This is often caused by 'wicking' from the carpet backing. Ensure you perform a final 'dry' pass with the vacuum tool to extract as much moisture as possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the cleaner, ensure your extraction machine is clear of previous residue. Dilute the Teepol concentrate at a ratio of up to 1:80 depending on the severity of the soiling. For maintenance cleaning, a lighter concentration is sufficient, whereas high-traffic grime may require a slightly stronger mix. Always test a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet or fabric for colorfastness before full application. After cleaning, store the 5L container in a cool, dry location out of direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly sealed to maintain chemical potency. Rinse out your extraction machine tank with fresh water after each use to prevent any buildup within the internal lines.
