The information below does in no way relate directly to Releasit Products, the reason being is that I have never used Releasit on wool. But it would be very interesting to hear your thoughts and experience Rick on the info below.
Being safe for wool is a lot more than RTU ph levels. In Australia 1 out of every 5 carpets we clean would be wool. I have listened to some very experienced and learned people on our Aussie forum and in fact there is a debate at the moment about your favourite pre spray and effects on wool.
One of the biggest concerns I have learnt about is the residual pH levels. What a products RTU pH is and what it can be when it dries and the diluting moisture is taken out of the equation can be a very different story. And then if moisture, be it high humidity or damp can reactivate the chemical in a much stronger pH state. This can cause permanent damage in the form of wool burn which is permanent damage. The list of other potential issues can be a long list but this is one I mention above.
Very interested in Rick's and anyone else's thoughts or experiences with Releasit & wool.
Cheers
Jamie
