Thank you Pat, much appreciated.
I've been using these products and the heavy duty cleaner as a boost when needed, and I'm very happy with them. I'd like to know as much as possible.


  • Could you elaborate more on the significance of "Both are based on soda ash, citrate, and lactate."
  • Yes, the DFC 210 is stronger, however according to the info Chemspec provides (my understanding) it starts stronger and self neutralizes. Wouldn't it be still good as a pre-spray for wool? As DFC 105 on its own, both as a pre-spray or a cleaner is not very strong.
  • If 210 self neutralizes, do we really have to rinse with DFC 105?

You ask really good questions Ofer,

Here is the best I have:

• Regarding the composition, citrate, etc.: what I mean by that is that the two products are similar in design but are fine tuned to control the pH of each. The DFC210, of course,
being somewhat higher pH.
• No, I would not recommend DFC210 on wool. It is not Wool Certified and the pH is still too high for wool during the dry time.
• Still recommend rinsing with DFC105 because you have to rinse with something. A water rinse could work but the extra “oomph” from DFC105 provides an extra level of cleaning
without leaving very much crystalline residue.
