AGAR Sour Softener is a specialised laundry finishing additive developed to improve fabric quality during the final rinse stage of commercial laundering processes.
During washing, detergents and laundry chemicals can leave alkaline residues within fabrics. If left untreated, these residues may contribute to stiffness, skin irritation, reduced comfort, and premature textile wear. AGAR Sour Softener neutralises these residual alkalines while simultaneously applying fabric-conditioning agents that soften and refresh textiles.
By combining two important laundry-finishing functions into one product, AGAR Sour Softener helps simplify chemical management, reduce handling requirements, and improve laundry efficiency.
Widely used in hospitality, healthcare, aged care, accommodation, commercial laundries, and uniform-processing facilities, it supports professional textile care programs while helping maintain fabric appearance and comfort.
Neutralises alkaline detergent residues during the final rinse cycle while softening fabrics and improving textile feel.
Add during the final rinse stage according to AGAR manufacturer recommendations and laundry processing requirements.
