Knockout Heavy-Duty Traffic Lane Cleaner - Liquid

$36.00

Deliver a decisive blow to the absolute worst grease, soot, and deeply embedded tracking soils with Knockout Heavy-Duty Traffic Lane Cleaner, a professional-grade, ultra-high alkaline pre-spray. Engineered specifically for commercial carpet cleaning technicians, owner-operators, and property restoration crews, this heavy-duty liquid formula delivers intense, field-tested breaking power where standard traffic lane cleaners fail.

Knockout features an aggressive, high-performance chemical matrix built with an intense concentration of active builders delivering a near 14 pH alkalinity. It works instantly on contact to rapidly attack, break down, and liquefy thick restaurant grease, heavy petroleum tracking oils, carbon smoke residues, and stubborn food or beverage stains. This fast-acting degreasing chemistry holds difficult soils in suspension for effortless hot water extraction without requiring extended dwell times or back-breaking physical scrubbing—slashing labor costs on every job while leaving surfaces completely clean and residue-free.

  • Ultra-High Alkalinity (approx 14 pH): Delivers instantaneous grease-liquefying action for rapid organic soil emulsification.

  • No Extended Dwell Times: Fast-acting professional formula speeds up extraction cycles to maximize your field efficiency.

  • Residue-Free Clean: Rinses away fully clear without leaving sticky chemical deposits behind, keeping carpets clean longer.

Product Specifications

  • Form: Liquid Concentrate

  • Scent: Light Citrus Solvent

  • pH Level: 13.5–14.0

  • Ideal Application: High-traffic commercial environments, restaurant dining areas, food courts, hotel corridors, airports, and heavily soiled synthetic fibers.

⚠️ Professional Notice: Highly alkaline formula. For professional use only. Do not allow to dry on glass, plastic, or soft metals. Always pre-test in an inconspicuous area for colorfastness and fiber stability before full application.

    • Pump-Up / Electric Sprayer:

      • Normal Soil: Mix 1 oz per gallon of hot water.

      • Heavy Grease/Soil: Mix 2 oz per gallon of hot water.

    • Inline Injection Sprayer: Mix 8–12 oz in a standard 5-quart injection jug (calibrated for a 1:8 draw rate).

    • Performance Boosting: For extreme pet-soiled or organic restoration areas, pair with OxyBoost to instantly brighten oxidized traffic lanes, or add Citra-Boost for an extra solvent kick on heavy restaurant grease.

    • Maximum Alkalinity: Formulated at near ~14 pH to saponify oils and emulsify synthetic grease matrices instantly on contact.

    • Heat Stable Builders: Specifically engineered to thrive under high truckmount temperatures without separating or breaking down.

    • Low Dwell Efficiency: Immediate chemical binding action lifts soils rapidly, eliminating the need for prolonged dwell times or manual scrubbing.

    • Approved Fibers: Excellent for synthetic face fibers including Commercial Nylon, Olefin (Polypropylene), and Triexta.

    • Fibers to Avoid: Do not use on wool, silk, or any delicate natural fibers.

    • Neutralizing Extraction: Because of its high alkalinity, always follow extraction with a dedicated acid rinse (like Clean & Soft Fiber Acid Rinse) to hit a perfect neutral pH balance on the carpet, preventing browning and ensuring a soft hand finish.
