One of my mentors here posted this and if someone could further explain "buffers" to me, it would be 'presheeated
"[wool]Pretty easy to work with if you follow those rules: Keep the heat down on deep colored or patterned/colored wool carpet for the sake of the dye; a higher pH can be used if it isn’t buffered to retain that high pH. (I believe that a buffered “8” pH product can be cumulatively worse than an unbuffered “10” pH)"
help me understand what the buffering agent is, why it's used and what the drawbacks are.
and if at all possible, explain it in "6th grade chemistry" language ....cause i wasn't in skOOl much starting with 7th grade ....and paid little attention when I did show up... :shock:
..l.T.A.
