INTERIOR:
Treatment of drapes, furniture, artificial flowers, carpets and wall coverings with Fabric Safe fire retardant, gives excellent protection against ignition, flame spread and afterglow. It forms a barrier which inhibits ignition of the treated material and restricts the char to the immediate area touched exposed to flame. Fabric Safe is a water-based, clear, odorless and non-toxic fire retardant. All surfaces to be treated must be clean.
Due to the vast variety of
textiles and fabrics, it is important to check for color fastness.
This is done by applying a small amount of fire retardant to an
obscure area and letting it dry ( a hair dryer will aid in drying). Apply fire retardant as it
comes from the container.
DO NOT DILUTE OR MIX FABRIC SAFE WITH ANY
OTHER PRODUCTS.
The coverage rate of Fabric Safe is 300 to 500 square feet per
gallon depending on the type and weight of the material being treated. Fabric Safe, in most instances
is applied with a mist applicator. A sponge can be an effective method of applying the fire retardant on
wallpaper and wall coverings. All treated textiles/fabrics lose some of their fire retardant qualities after
deep cleaning, therefore re-treatment with Fabric Safe is necessary to achieve maximum results. Pile
or high tufted carpet in particular, is suitable for treatment immediately after cleaning. Be sure all
materials are dry before applying Fabric Safe.
CAUTION:
Product must not freeze. It MUST NOT be thinned or diluted.
OVERSPRAY:
The overspray will not harm plants or animals. Spills can be flushed with water. A rag wetted with bleach and water mix will clean up spotting.
CLEAN UP PROCEDURE:
1. Run bleach and water mix through spray mist applicator for cleaning any residue.
2. Rinse sponges with bleach and water mix.
SAFETY FIRST:
If eye contact occurs, flood with water for fifteen (15) minutes and call a physician. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY.
