Description
Q1 is a professional stain remover in liquid format designed for pre-treatment of ballpoint pen ink stains, printing inks, industrial pigments, mineral oils and fats on textiles. Its formulation acts by penetrating the fibres and breaking down the molecules responsible for the stain, emulsifying lipophilic substances to facilitate their removal during the wash cycle, without the need for abrasive rubbing or aggressive agents such as chlorine or ammonia.
Q1 is formulated and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim for integration into industrial laundry and automated pre-wash processes. Its use is aimed at environments with high volumes of treated garments — industrial laundries, hospitals, hospitality establishments, workshops and facility management installations — where a reproducible, fabric-safe and machinery-compatible stain treatment protocol is required.
