Defoamers

Defoamers prevent excess foam from forming inside your carpet cleaning recovery tanks. Too much foam can reduce suction power, overflow waste tanks, and even damage vac motors. By using a quality defoamer, you maintain consistent extraction performance, protect your equipment, and achieve faster, cleaner results, especially when dealing with soap-heavy carpets or pretreated areas.

When foam builds up in your extractor or truckmount recovery tank, it can trigger vacuum loss and reduce drying efficiency. ASE’s defoamers eliminate this issue instantly, ensuring continuous airflow and proper water recovery. This means your machine works at peak performance throughout the entire job, saving you time and reducing maintenance costs.

Yes, our defoamers are safe and effective for use in both portable extractors and truckmount systems. They’re formulated to disperse quickly and won’t leave any sticky or oily residue inside your tanks or hoses. You can simply add them directly into the recovery tank or through the wand line, depending on your cleaning setup.

No, ASE defoamers are designed to act only within your recovery system, not on the carpet itself. They neutralize foam at the source, ensuring no residue or chemical interference with the cleaning solution. The result is a cleaner, drier, and more professional finish that your clients will notice.
