Proprietary polymers have been incorporated into the formulation that aid in emulsifying, encapsulating, and suspending oils and soils for easy removal. In addition, these polymers prevent rapid re-soiling and enhance the efficiency of routine vacuuming, allowing for continued removal of any residual soils after the cleaning process. This reduces the frequency of wet cleaning needed to maintain or preserve the appearance of the carpet face fiber.CarpetGeneral® Bonnet Cleaner 5857 also contains proprietary stain resistant and anti-soiling agents that provide superior protection from typical acid dyes commonly found in foodstuffs and many other materials. In addition, CarpetGeneral® Bonnet Cleaner 5857 eliminates both organic and pet odors in carpeting and upholstery.CarpetGeneral® Bonnet Cleaner 5857 is not a cover up fragrance, but actually chemically bonds with the odor molecule, changing its structure and eliminating the odor.
