Question 1

How is ZABI Wet-clean better than other detergents?

Accepted Answer

ZABI improves every aspect of doing laundry. One gallon of Zabi Wet-clean concentrate will clean over 7500 pounds of laundry in cold water. It only takes 5mL (1 teaspoon) per 10 pounds of laundry. ZABI is color-safe and non-corrosive for extended garment life. Clothes come out noticeably cleaner, softer, and static-free without fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Our no-mess metered applicator eliminates measuring and wasteful overdosing. Each pump is exactly 2.5 mL. Just follow label instructions, e.g., a 20 lb. load would require 4 pumps (10 mL).

Question 2

Why do you say ZABI defies laws of chemistry?

Accepted Answer

A generally accepted premise of detergent chemistry recognizes that a higher pH detergent will clean better than a lower pH detergent. But until ZABI came along, there always came a point where the cleaning advantage of a high pH was offset by color-fade and fabric damage. That is why most major brands of laundry detergents are formulated in the pH range between 7 and 10 on a scale of 7 to 14. A manufacturing process protected as a trade secret allows ZABI to have a pH of 13.6, which is more than 10 times higher (more alkaline) than chlorine bleach – without being the slightest bit corrosive.

Question 3

Can I use ZABI Wet-clean in a residential washer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it is important to select the short (delicate) cycle and adjust the water level for the size of the load. Finishing should be done in a programable, moisture-controlled dryer to avoid fabric damage and shrinkage. For example, set the maximum temperature to 140° F. Suede leather should be blown out with cool air on a garment form finisher or hanged to air-dry and touched up with a horsehair brush once dry.

Question 4

Will ZABI clean better in hot water?

Accepted Answer

No. ZABI Wet-clean is formulated for cold water. There is no benefit to using warm or hot water.

Question 5

Why do Zabi's instructions recommend using the short/delicate wash cycle?

Accepted Answer

Excessive agitation in the washing machine takes its toll on your clothes and can substantially shorten their life. Zabi is such an effective detergent that using cold water on a short/delicate cycle produces better results than competitive brands using hot water on a heavy cycle. This saves time and energy while significantly extending the life of the garment.

Question 6

How can I feel safe using Zabi Wet-clean on expensive garments and delicate fabrics and materials?

Accepted Answer

When in doubt, we recommend always testing the garment by placing one drop of Zabi Wet-clean concentrate on a hidden area to test for colorfastness. However, before taking Zabi Wet-clean to market, its formulator and a few of his friends in the laundry business used Zabi exclusively every day for up to seven (7) years. During that time, Zabi proved to be safe on every garment that came through their doors, without fading colors or damaging the underlying fabric. Over time, their customers began bringing in their wash-and-wear garments to keep them looking like new.

Question 7

Is Zabi Wet-clean flammable?

Accepted Answer

No. Zabi Wet-clean concentrate has been certified by UL Test Labs to have a flashpoint above 200° F, with reference to 16 CFR § 1500.43a. You can find this information in our Safety Data Sheet.
