Carpets, and upholstery in professional settings demand deep cleaning, fast turnaround, and consistent hygiene - without compromising on fabric life. Evonik empowers commercial cleaning companies and facility service providers with a toolkit of specialty surfactants, quats, antifoams, and odor neutralizers to optimize every step from pre-spot to finishing. We develop and sell the ingredients behind high performing, cost-efficient I&I textile programs.

Our Highlight I&I Textile Cleaning Solutions by Application

Our I&I textile cleaning portfolio delivers targeted solutions for application areas, including high‑performance carpet and upholstery care and effective odor control systems. By combining advanced surfactant technologies with specialized malodor‑neutralizing ingredients, we enable formulators to achieve superior cleaning results, fabric protection, and enhanced hygiene profiles across professional environments.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning and Care 

• Our ready to dilute surfactant blends for carpet/upholstery shampoos produce stable dry foam and a crystalline residue for effective dry soil removal. 
• Our nonionic wetting/emulsifying systems target greasy and particulate soils; support concentrated stock and high dilution performance. 
• We provide extremely low foaming surfactants for extractor solutions and “scrubvac” cleaners e.g. NONIDET® X-5.

Leather Cleaning

• A selection of our general cleaning surfactants can be used for leather upholstery. Our TEGO® Polish Additiv LFC MB is especially suited to leather because it yields a smooth soft touch surface with improved suppleness. 

Odor Control & Hygiene Enhancement

• Peracetic Acid Disinfection: Peracetic acid is a broad-spectrum disinfectant. After use, it decomposes into water, oxygen, and acetic acid.
• TEGO Sorb® - Advanced odor neutralizers that eliminate malodors and improve the sensory profile of laundered textiles. 

Your Evonik Advantage

• Safe & Effective: Low or nonvolative organi compound (VOC) options, solventreduction solutions, and processreliable antifoams help meet facility safety and productivity targets. 
• Expert Support: Our specialists codesign, optimize, and scale your formulations across commercial laundry and textile care workflows.
