For tough stains caused by alkaline and tannin stains like coffee, tea, and urine,
Reach for Matrix Target Tannin Stain Remover!
There are few spots that cause carpet cleaners more frustration than those caused by alkaline or tannin substances, such as coffee, tea, urine, perfume, and more. When faced with these stubborn spots, reach for Matrix Target Tannin Stain Remover--an ESSENTIAL in any cleaner's SPOTTING TOOLBOX.
This acid spotter works wonders on the toughest tannin stains, and it’s safe for use on stain-resistant carpet. For best results, we recommend using it in conjunction with Matrix Release, particularly when faced with combination stains, such as those found in coffee and tea.
Matrix Target Tannin Stain Remover’s uses go beyond spotting, too. It can be used for correcting browning, dye reversal, and even setting fugitive dyes.
When confronted by heavily shampooed carpets, substitute Target for your detergent. It will neutralize the soap reside and remove it completely. We recommend using Target every fourth bonnet cleaning for thorough residue removal.
Coffee Spot Removal from Carpet:
Coffee spots can be made more difficult when there is cream and/or sugar added. Many instant and decaffeinated coffees add dye to increase a look of richness.
