Acid Fiber Rinse for HWE – Acid LAVA Hot Water Extraction Fiber Rinse

Neutralize, brighten, and condition in one rinse

Acid LAVA is an acid fiber rinse for hot water extraction (HWE) that neutralizes soil-attracting alkaline residues, helps remove winter salt, urine salts, calcium deposits, rock salt, soap scum, and detergent films, and conditions fibers so colors look brighter. Formulated with organic citric acid and a second biodegradable acid chosen for low corrosivity and strong calcium complexing, it supports a purer, residue-free clean with a mild, clean scent.
