Testing has been undertaken for the compatability of DIFFICIL-S® on polypropylene carpets and was found to be compatible with the following:-
JHS HOSPI-SUPREME (100% 2ply high twist, heat set polypropylene)
JHS HOSPI-LUX (100% stain proof polypropylene)
HECKMONDWIKE PLATINUM CARE (100% solution dyed polypropylene)
Testing for compatibility with carpets manufactured by Danfloor UK is currently ongoing for their range of products predominantly used within the healthcare sector.
As a precaution, always test a small section of carpet in an inconspicuous area with DIFFICIL-S® prior to treating the entire carpet. Please follow the carpet manufacturer's guidelines regarding the use of cleaning agents as Clinimax Ltd cannot accept responsibility or liability for cosmetic damage to carpets.
DIFFICIL-S® has recently undertaken testing on mattresses manufactured by Invacare UK who are leading suppliers of healthcare products and the results are proving very successful.
DIFFICIL-S® has a near-neutral Ph which makes it non-corrosive on metal equipment and utensils.
