Q3, Protein, glycidic or lipidic stain remover.

Q3

Protein, glycidic or lipidic stain remover.

It is a highly effective product specifically designed for the removal of stains of protein, carbohydrate or lipid origin, such as blood, egg, various sauces and fats. This powerful product can be used on most types of clothing, both white and coloured, with the exception of wool and leather. Application is easy and straightforward. It is used pure and applied directly to the stains. It is recommended to leave the product to act for approximately 5 minutes and, if necessary, rub gently with a brush. Subsequently, a normal washing is carried out. It is important not to exceed the contact time of 15 minutes and it is advisable to carry out a test beforehand to ensure the colour fastness of the garment. In addition, it is recommended not to apply heat until the stain has completely disappeared. If necessary, the treatment can be repeated. This product comes in a 750 ml presentation, which makes it convenient and easy to use. You can rely on an effective solution for the removal of stubborn stains on your clothes.

Q3 is a professional enzymatic stain remover formulated to eliminate stains of protein, carbohydrate and lipid origin in work clothes, uniforms and industrial textiles. It works by combining specific enzymes and surfactants that break down and remove residues of proteins, carbohydrates and fats without the need for aggressive oxidising agents, chlorine-free, caustic soda-free and ammonia-free, preserving the integrity of fibres in each wash cycle.

01Triple enzymatic action: proteases, amylases and lipases work synergistically on the three main groups of organic stains.
02Chlorine-free, caustic soda-free, ammonia-free: controlled pH formulation that preserves fibres and dyes in repeated use.
03Effective in cold water: enzymes are activated at low temperature, compatible with programmes that reduce energy consumption.
04Perfume-free, artificial dye-free, phosphate-free, EDTA-free, NTA-free: clean formula designed for environments with strict safety requirements.
05Reduces reprocessing: enzymatic pre-treatment prevents stains from setting with heat, reducing the number of washes required.

Description

Q3 is an enzymatic stain remover for use in professional laundry machinery, formulated to treat stains from proteins (blood, egg, dairy), carbohydrates (starches, sauces, flours) and lipids (animal and vegetable fats) present in work clothes and uniforms with high turnover. The combination of proteases, amylases and lipases with surfactants allows the breakdown of complex organic residues and facilitates their removal during the wash cycle, without resorting to oxidisers, chlorine, caustic soda or ammonia.

Q3 is developed and manufactured by Detervic / Instaquim, a company specialising in the formulation of professional cleaning products, with direct technical support for distributors and authorised users. The absence of perfume, artificial dyes, phosphates, EDTA and NTA makes Q3 a suitable option for environments with specific operational requirements, such as barrier laundries or food industry facilities.

Benefits for professional use

  • Triple enzymatic action — proteases on proteins, amylases on carbohydrates and lipases on fats act simultaneously in a single pre-treatment step, without the need for additional products for each type of stain.
  • Does not alter dyes or weaken fibres — the absence of chlorine, oxidising agents and caustic soda allows continued use on coloured garments without progressive fibre degradation, unlike formulations with hypochlorite or perborates.
  • Effectiveness at low temperature — enzymes maintain their activity in cold wash programmes, allowing energy consumption to be reduced without sacrificing stain removal performance.
  • Formula without unnecessary risk components — perfume-free, artificial dye-free, phosphate-free, EDTA-free and NTA-free, which reduces the risk of sensitisation in laundry personnel and facilitates compliance with operational requirements in healthcare and food environments.
  • Reduces the number of reprocessed items — enzymatic pre-treatment before the heat cycle prevents the fixing of organic stains, reducing the need for additional washes and the associated wear on the garment.

Main applications

  • In-line pre-treatment in industrial laundry: direct application to classified garments before tunnel or barrier laundry machines, optimising main cycle performance and reducing reprocessing workload.
  • Uniform treatment in food industry: removal of process residues —blood, egg protein, dairy, sauces, industrial oils— from work clothes with stains from all three organic groups in a single step.
  • Kitchen and dining room clothing in HoReCa: pre-treatment of aprons, chef jackets and dining room uniforms with frequent mixed stains before the cycle in professional laundry machinery.
  • Work clothes in healthcare and social care services: treatment of uniforms with protein stains in barrier laundry circuits where the absence of chlorine and dyes is a standard operational requirement.

Recommended sectors

  • HoReCa — pre-treatment of kitchen and dining room clothing with sauce, grease and protein stains before the cycle in industrial laundry machine, with high garment rotation and colour maintenance requirement.
  • Food industry — removal of process residues from work clothes with protein, carbohydrate and lipid stains continuously generated on production lines.
  • Healthcare and social care — treatment of healthcare uniforms with protein stains in barrier laundry circuits, where chlorine-free and dye-free formulation is particularly relevant.
  • Service companies and industrial laundries — integration into pre-treatment machinery lines for centralised management of uniforms from multiple sectors with a single product for all three types of organic stain.

Indicative instructions for use

01
Identify the type of stain (protein, carbohydrate or lipid) and verify that the garment is not wool or leather.
02
Apply Q3 directly to the affected area, without prior dilution, before the wash cycle.
03
Allow the time indicated in the technical datasheet to allow complete enzymatic breakdown of the stain.
04
Load the garment into the laundry machinery and select the appropriate programme for the fabric type, including cold wash programmes.
05
Check the result after washing. For very old or heat-set stains, it may be necessary to repeat the pre-treatment.

Specific dilutions, contact times and recommendations are available in the technical datasheet of the product.

Frequently asked questions

What is Q3 for?

Q3 is a professional enzymatic stain remover for use in industrial laundry machinery. It removes stains from proteins (blood, egg, dairy), carbohydrates (starches, sauces) and fats in work clothes and uniforms through the combined action of proteases, amylases, lipases and surfactants, without the need for chlorine, caustic soda or oxidising agents.

Which sectors is it recommended for?

Q3 is especially indicated in HoReCa and restaurants, food industry, healthcare and social care services, industrial laundries and service companies with high uniform turnover. Its chlorine-free and dye-free formulation makes it suitable for environments with specific operational requirements.

Is it suitable for professional use?

Yes. Formulated by Detervic / Instaquim for professional environments with industrial laundry machinery, with technical support for distributors and authorised users.

Can it be used on coloured fabrics?

Yes. The absence of chlorine, oxidising agents and caustic soda means that Q3 does not alter fabric dyes or weaken fibres with repeated use. It is not recommended for wool or leather.

Where can I consult the technical datasheet?

Available on this page. For specific dilutions, contact times or detailed operational information, please consult the full technical document.

Is the safety datasheet available?

Yes. The safety data sheet (SDS) is available to authorised customers and distributors upon request from the commercial department.
