A restaurant dining room and an auto shop office defeat ordinary pre-sprays for the same reason: the soil is bound in cooked-on oil, grease, and protein that surfactants alone will not release. HydraMaster SoilBreak is built for exactly that -- a powdered enzyme pre-spray that combines enzymes, solvents, surfactants, and builders to break the bond before you extract, and this 40 lb bucket is the size crews order when those accounts are the core of the route.
Enzyme pre-sprays have a reputation for being fragile: many lose activity in hot water or at high alkalinity, which rules them out on a truckmount. SoilBreak uses an enzyme combination selected to survive truckmount temperatures and high-performance portables, so you get enzymatic action on protein and organic soil without giving up heat. It also drops surface tension fast, which lets your detergent and rinse reach the base of the pile instead of sitting on top of the soil layer.
Use Cases
- Restaurant, bar, and food service carpet with cooked-on grease and food soil
- Automotive repair centers and service department offices carrying oil and grease track-in
- Commercial accounts with heavy protein and organic soil loads
- Any job where a liquid pre-spray has stopped producing acceptable results
- High-volume route work where a powdered ultra-concentrate cuts freight and storage cost
Mixing and coverage
Mix at 2 oz per gallon of hot tap water in a pump-up sprayer. Pre-spray the traffic areas, let it dwell 5 to 10 minutes so the enzymes and solvents can work, then extract with HydraDri or HydraClean. One pound of SoilBreak cleans up to 8,000 square feet of carpet, and in-use pH runs 11.3 to 11.9 depending on dilution. It carries a lemon fragrance rather than the sour note some enzyme products leave behind. Follow the current product label.

Frequently asked questions
What is SoilBreak best used on?
Carpet carrying heavy oil, grease, protein, and sticky soil -- restaurants, bars, food service, automotive repair centers, and similar commercial environments.
How do I mix it?
2 oz of powder per gallon of hot tap water in a pump-up sprayer. Pre-spray traffic areas, dwell 5 to 10 minutes, then extract with HydraDri or HydraClean.
Will hot water kill the enzymes?
Not in this formulation. Unlike enzyme pre-sprays that are sensitive to heat and alkalinity, SoilBreak uses a combination of enzymes selected to work with truckmount and high-performance portable equipment.
How far does a pound go?
One pound cleans up to 8,000 square feet of carpet, which is what makes the powdered concentrate economical on high-volume route work.
What is the pH?
In-use pH is 11.3 to 11.9 depending on dilution. That is an alkaline pre-spray intended for synthetic commercial carpet, not for wool.
How big is this container?
This part number is the 40 lb bucket. Smaller sizes are produced under separate part numbers.
