Number Three - Balance

pH Balance & Reset Formula by Carpet CPR & TrueRevive Xpert.

Ensure your hard work lasts with Number Three. After treating a stain, the job isn't finished until the chemistry is balanced. This essential post-cleaning treatment neutralizes alkaline residues and stops stains from reappearing ("wicking"). It resets your carpet's natural pH, leaving fibers soft, clean, and ready for conditioning.

Why Use Number Three?

• Prevents Stain Wicking: Stops the common problem of "ghost stains" appearing days after cleaning by preventing moisture and residue from migrating up from the carpet backing.
• pH Balance Restoration: Cleaning agents are often alkaline; Number Three neutralizes this, restoring fibers to their natural, healthy state to prevent brittleness or browning.
• Residue Elimination: Breaks down leftover cleaning detergents that can attract new dirt (re-soiling) if left untreated.
• Professional Standards: An essential step in professional protocols to ensure commercial-grade, long-lasting results.

How It Works

Number Three focuses on the chemistry of the fiber to secure the clean:

1. pH Neutralizing Agents immediately counteract the alkalinity of stain removers, stabilizing the dye and fiber structure.
2. Anti-Wicking Compounds create a barrier that stops deep-set residue from traveling back to the surface as the carpet dries.
3. Fiber Conditioners reset the texture, ensuring the carpet doesn't feel "crunchy" or sticky after drying.

How to Use

Use immediately after the stain removal process (Number One & Two).

1. Timing: Apply Number Three immediately after extracting the stain cleaner.
2. Spray: Apply evenly over the entire treated area, extending slightly beyond the cleaned zone to prevent ring formation.
3. Massage: Gently work the product into the fibers using light circular motions.
4. Wait: Let it penetrate for 2-3 minutes to neutralize residues.
5. Finish: Blot excess moisture or extract, then proceed to Number Four for the final finish.
