Actichem Coffee & Tannin Stain Remover CTR

from $24.00

Actichem CTR

Professional Coffee & Tannin Remover

Actichem CTR is a high-potency specialty spotter engineered specifically for the removal of stubborn tannin-based stains and cellulosic browning. Utilizing advanced low-pH, metabisulphite-based chemistry, it chemically targets the molecular structure of "permanent" organic marks, effectively neutralizing and lifting them from the fiber.

Whether treating a fresh spill or a "set-in" stain, CTR is the professional's primary solution for coffee, tea, and water-mark restoration on both carpets and upholstery.

Key Performance Benefits

  • Targeted Tannin Destruction: Rapidly breaks down the tannins found in coffee, tea, and red wine that standard detergents often fail to shift.

  • Browning & Water Mark Correction: Specifically formulated to neutralize alkaline browning and "tide marks" caused by over-wetting or slow drying.

  • Deep Fiber Penetration: The low-viscosity formula drives the active ingredients deep into the pile to treat stains from the base up.

  • Fiber-Safe Versatility: Engineered to be safe for use on both synthetic and natural fibers, including wool, when used according to professional guidelines.

  • Dye Stabilization: The acidic profile helps stabilize fugitive dyes, reducing the risk of color bleed during the spotting process.
