AGAR Laundry Sour 5L Essential

AGAR Laundry Sour 5L Essential – pH Neutralising for Commercial Laundry Systems

AGAR Laundry Sour – 5L is an essential laundry finishing additive used in professional laundry operations to neutralise alkaline residues remaining after the washing cycle. During commercial laundering, detergents and other chemicals often leave alkaline traces within fabrics. If not properly neutralised, these residues can cause fabric stiffness, skin irritation, and long-term textile damage.

AGAR Laundry Sour works by lowering the pH of fabrics during the final rinse, restoring a balanced environment that helps maintain textile softness and durability. This process is especially important in industries where fabrics come into direct contact with people, such as hospitals, hotels, aged care facilities, and accommodation providers.

The product is suitable for use in automatic chemical dosing systems or manual rinse applications in commercial washing machines. When incorporated into a professional laundry program, AGAR Laundry Sour helps improve fabric comfort, appearance, and longevity.
