- In stock, ready to ship
- Inventory on the way
LCA-256 is a mildly alkaline liquid extraction cleaner that works nearly as hard as our powder. It efficiently cleans and emulsifies all types of soil on all types of carpet, rugs and wet-cleanable upholstery. Always pretest for colorfastness.
Built for cleaners who prefer a liquid detergent over a powder, and for extraction machines that can't run a powder. Its near-neutral pH also makes it the right choice for natural fibers like wool rugs.
