Some soils do not respond to more heat or more alkaline. Asphalt track-in at a lobby entrance, motor oil ground into a shop office carpet, gum welded to a theater aisle -- those need solvency. Esteam Citrus Burst is the bottle carpet cleaners keep on the van for exactly those jobs: a d-limonene citrus solvent that works both as a standalone spotter and as a booster you add to whatever pre-spray you already trust.
That dual role is the point. Rather than stocking a separate chemical for every greasy situation, you add Citrus Burst to your traffic lane cleaner, extraction detergent, degreaser, or tile and grout solution and lift its cleaning power on the jobs that need it. On the rest of the house you run your normal chemistry and normal cost per gallon.
Use Cases
- Boosting a pre-spray or traffic lane cleaner on restaurant, shop, and entryway carpet loaded with oily soil
- Spot-treating grease, motor oil, tar, asphalt, wax, cosmetics, cooking oil, ink, and chewing gum
- Fire and smoke restoration -- added to a degreaser or soot remover to cut through greasy smoke residue
- Upholstery cleaning where body oils and food soil have built up on high-contact areas
- Hard surface and tile or grout cleaning solutions that need extra solvency on grease film
How professionals use it
As a spotter it is applied directly, worked gently, and then flushed or extracted. As a booster it goes into the mixed solution at a modest ratio so the solvent rides along with the surfactants already doing the work. Always follow the manufacturer label for dilution and test an inconspicuous area first. Because it is VOC compliant, wool safe, and safe on warranted stain-resistant carpet, it does not force you to change your approach on residential jobs with fiber warranties in play.

Frequently asked questions
What is Citrus Burst used for?
It is a two-in-one product: a solvent spotter for grease, oil, tar, gum, and wax, and a booster you add to a pre-spray, traffic lane cleaner, extraction detergent, or hard surface solution to raise cleaning power on heavily soiled work.
Is it safe on stain-resistant carpet and wool?
Yes. Citrus Burst is wool safe and is formulated to be safe for warranted stain-resistant residential carpet. As with any solvent, test an inconspicuous area first.
Can I add it to my existing pre-spray?
That is one of its main uses. It is designed to be added to your favorite pre-spray, traffic lane cleaner, degreaser, or soot remover rather than replacing them.
Does it work on fire and smoke damage?
Yes. Restoration crews add it to degreasers and soot removers because the citrus solvent helps break the greasy binder in smoke residue.
Is it the same product as Citrus 500?
Yes. Citrus Burst is the current name for the formula previously sold as Citrus 500.
What size does this part number cover?
Part 2652-3656 is the 1 gallon (3.79 L) jug. A 1 quart size is also produced under a separate part number.
