Fuse – Crystallising Upholstery & Carpet Cleaning Chemical The Ultimate Dual-Action Cleaning Solution for Low-Moisture Encap or Hot Water Extraction Fuse is an advanced cleaning formula engineered for both low-moisture bonnet cleaning and hot water extraction (HWE). Powered by proprietary crystallising polymers, Fuse isolates and encapsulates sticky soils, drying into a highly brittle, non-tacky shell that effortlessly vacuums away. This innovative chemistry permanently stops wicking, eliminates rapid re-soiling, and provides a longer-lasting clean with zero sticky residue. Safe for use on all carpets (including wool), upholstery, mattresses, and vehicle interiors. Why Choose Fuse? Ultimate Versatility: Use it as a standalone low-moisture cleaner or as a highly effective pre-spray for hot water extraction (HWE)—one product for multiple cleaning methods. Stops Wicking Permanently: Puts a definitive end to recurring spill stains that ruin carpet aesthetics, from boardroom coffee spills to everyday household accidents. Longer-Lasting Clean: Carpets actively resist dirt, staying fresh and vibrant up to 50% longer than those treated with traditional detergents. Rapid Drying & Zero Downtime (Low-Moisture Mode): When used as an encapsulator, carpets dry rapidly and are ready for heavy foot traffic almost immediately. Highly Efficient & Cost-Effective: Streamlined application drastically reduces time spent on the job, improving your overall profit margins across all contracts. The Power of Advanced Crystallisation Regular dry vacuuming removes loose debris, but sticky oils and sugars are what cause carpets to look dull and degrade prematurely. Fuse attacks this residue with a powerful, proprietary surfactant blend and advanced crystallisation technology. How it works: Isolates Dirt: Active polymers seek out and surround individual dirt particles, separating them from the carpet fibres. Encapsulates: As the solution dries, these polymers form a microscopic, highly brittle crystalline shell around the suspended soil. Shatters & Removes: Unlike traditional chemicals that leave a tacky, dirt-attracting film, Fuse dries completely hard. During routine vacuuming, this brittle crystal shatters and breaks free from the pile, taking the encapsulated soil with it. Bonus Protection: This cutting-edge polymer is self-renewing. If the carpet gets wet again from foot traffic or spills, any remaining polymer simply re-solubilises to capture the new dirt, and re-crystallises upon drying. This guarantees zero sticky residue build-up over time. Can be used on all carpets (including wool), upholstery, outdoor furniture, car seats & more. Directions for Use Always pre-test Fuse in an inconspicuous area for colour fastness and suitability prior to use. Stir well for complete mixing. Dilution (Carpet & Upholstery): Dilute up to 40 ml per 1 litre of warm water, depending on the degree of soiling (1:25). For Hot Water Extraction (HWE): Thoroughly vacuum the area. Apply diluted Fuse as a pre-spray directly to the carpet or upholstery. Agitate thoroughly into the pile (using a TM3/Pro35 or similar is highly recommended). Allow a brief dwell time, then extract normally using fresh water or your preferred acidic rinse. For Bonnet / Low-Moisture Encap Cleaning: Can be used with all bonnet cleaning systems, including heated. Thoroughly vacuum the carpet. Using a TM3/Pro35 with renovator trays can be beneficial prior to vacuuming to lift and open the carpet pile. Pre-spray both the cleaning pad/bonnet and the area to be cleaned. Work in sections, using a wringer bucket to clean the bonnets when they become fully loaded with soiling. Always keep the cleaning pads/bonnets moist during the cleaning process. For upholstery cleaning: Fuse can be used as a low moisture encapsulation product using pads, terry towels or as extraction product. Thoroughly vacuum the fabric. Pre spray the fabric to be cleaned, working in sections seam to seam. Agitate with drill brush or pads. Towel off, pad or use extraction to finish.
