Tuskbond Foaming Fabric Cleaner 1 Can

Tuskbond FC13 Foaming Fabric Cleaner 500ml

Tuskbond FC13 Foaming Fabric Cleaner is a water-based aerosol cleaner developed for suitable carpets, upholstery fabrics and compatible hard surfaces.

Its high-foaming formula helps lift common dirt, grime, grease marks, nicotine contamination, spots and spills while controlling the amount of cleaning liquid applied to the surface.

Unlike cleaners that can leave a tacky film behind, FC13 is designed to leave no sticky residue that could contribute to re-soiling.

Upholstery Fabric Cleaner for Sofas, Chairs and Cushions

Tuskbond FC13 is particularly useful as an upholstery fabric cleaner for suitable furniture coverings.

Typical applications include compatible:

• Sofas
• Armchairs
• Dining chairs
• Occasional chairs
• Cushions
• Footstools
• Ottomans
• Upholstered panels
• Carpets
• Other suitable textile surfaces

Customers replacing rather than cleaning worn or damaged furniture coverings can see the Upholstery Vinyl & Fabric range.

Always identify the fabric where possible and check its care instructions before using any wet-cleaning product.

Foaming Upholstery Cleaner for Dirt, Grease and Grime

The high-foaming action is one of the key benefits of FC13.

Foam allows the cleaning product to remain concentrated around the surface being treated rather than immediately soaking deeply into the upholstery.

Tuskbond FC13 is designed to help remove suitable:

• General dirt
• Grime
• Grease marks
• Nicotine contamination
• Common spots
• Everyday spills

This makes it useful for routine furniture maintenance as well as more targeted cleaning before other upholstery treatments are applied.

Water-Based Fabric Cleaner

FC13 uses water-based cleaning technology rather than being a heavy solvent upholstery cleaner.

This makes it suitable for a broad range of compatible upholstery and carpet cleaning applications while providing quick aerosol application.

Water-based does not mean that every fabric can automatically be wet cleaned.

Delicate or specialist materials may require different cleaning methods, particularly:

• Velvet
• Silk
• Suede
• Specialist pile fabrics
• Unstable dyes
• Printed fabrics
• Fabrics with specialist surface treatments

Always check the furniture or fabric manufacturer's cleaning guidance first.

Test Upholstery for Colourfastness Before Cleaning

Before treating the complete item, apply a small amount of cleaner to a concealed area.

Allow the test section to dry completely and inspect it for:

• Colour change
• Dye transfer
• Water marking
• Change in texture
• Change in sheen
• Distortion of the pile
• Other changes in appearance

If the colour or appearance changes, do not continue with the product on that material.

Testing only while the fabric is still wet is not enough because some changes become apparent only after drying.

How to Use Tuskbond FC13 Foaming Fabric Cleaner

Always follow the current instructions on the aerosol.

For normal cleaning:

1. Remove loose dust and debris from the surface.
2. Shake the aerosol thoroughly.
3. Test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area.
4. Spray the cleaner onto the suitable surface.
5. Leave the foam to work for approximately 20, 30 seconds.
6. Wipe away the cleaner and loosened dirt using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.
7. Allow the treated material to dry thoroughly.

For more stubborn dirt or staining, the foam can be allowed to work for up to approximately one minute before gently agitating the area with a soft brush and removing the loosened contamination.

Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can damage the surface of upholstery fabric.

Avoid Over-Wetting Upholstered Furniture

One advantage of a foaming fabric cleaner is the ability to control the amount of cleaning product applied.

This matters because upholstered furniture contains much more than the visible outer covering.

Excess liquid can penetrate through the fabric into:

• Upholstery Foam
• Polyester Wadding
• Fibre fillings
• Feather interiors
• Hessian
• Timber
• Springs and metal components

Over-wetting can significantly increase drying time and may contribute to odours, water marks or other problems inside the furniture.

Use only the amount of cleaner required and allow the upholstery to dry completely before use.

Clean Complete Upholstery Panels Where Appropriate

Cleaning a very small isolated area on otherwise soiled upholstery can sometimes leave an obvious cleaner patch.

Where the fabric and cleaning instructions allow, cleaning the complete cushion face or defined furniture panel may help produce a more even result.

Work methodically rather than repeatedly soaking one small area.

For more comprehensive stain-care options, see the Fabric Care Kit, which provides products intended for different types of upholstery staining and general fabric maintenance.

Clean Before Applying Fabric Protector

Fabric protector works best when applied to upholstery that is already clean and completely dry.

Once compatible fabric has been cleaned with FC13 and allowed to dry thoroughly, Status Fabrics Fabric Protector Spray can be applied where appropriate to provide additional resistance to future staining, soiling and moisture.

The logical furniture-care process is therefore:

Clean allow to dry thoroughly protect.

Fabric protector should not be sprayed over existing dirt or staining, as the contamination should be removed first wherever possible.

Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner

Tuskbond FC13 is also suitable for compatible carpet-cleaning applications.

The foaming action is useful for treating localised grime, spots and spills while helping control the amount of cleaning solution placed into the carpet.

As with upholstered furniture:

• Vacuum loose dirt first
• Test for colourfastness
• Avoid excessive wetting
• Treat complete defined areas where appropriate
• Allow the carpet to dry thoroughly

Always follow any cleaning instructions supplied by the carpet manufacturer.

Fabric Cleaner for Upholstery Workrooms

Tuskbond FC13 is useful not only for domestic furniture maintenance but also in professional upholstery environments.

Potential users include:

• Upholsterers
• Furniture manufacturers
• Furniture retailers
• Reupholstery workshops
• Vehicle trimmers
• Restoration businesses
• Furniture-care professionals

It can be useful for cleaning compatible upholstery before furniture is returned to a customer or prior to applying an appropriate protective treatment.

Fabric Cleaner Is Different from Solvent Cleaner

A foaming upholstery cleaner and a workroom solvent cleaner perform very different jobs.

FC13 is a water-based carpet and upholstery cleaner intended for compatible dirt, grease, grime and staining.

Tuskbond Solvent Cleaner is intended for compatible adhesive residue, oil, grease and workshop cleaning applications.

Do not substitute a solvent cleaner for a fabric-cleaning product on finished upholstery without confirming that every affected material is suitable.

Professional Foaming Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner

Tuskbond FC13 provides a convenient aerosol solution for cleaning suitable upholstery, carpets and compatible surfaces.

Its combination of water-based technology, controlled foaming action, stain-removing performance and residue-free finish makes it a useful furniture-care product for both professional and general upholstery maintenance.

Available as:
