    Stop foam from ruining jobs, slowing extraction, and overflowing recovery tanks. Pile-Up® Defoamer is a highly concentrated, fast-acting defoamer designed to knock down foam instantly in recovery systems—so your carpet extractor, wet vac, or auto scrubber runs efficiently and stays mess-free.

    Use it when old shampoo residue, high-foaming detergents, or previous cleaning products create excessive suds. Add a small amount to your recovery tank or spray it directly onto foam, and get back to work without interruptions.

     

    More Info

    Key Benefits

    • Quick action foam control — Rapidly collapses foam to prevent overflows and keep suction consistent.
    • Protects equipment performance — Helps maintain airflow, recovery, and efficiency during the job.
    • Versatile use — Works in carpet extractors, wet vacs, auto scrubbers, and other recovery systems.
    • Highly concentrated — A little goes a long way, making it cost-effective per job.
    • Easy, no-fuss application — Add to tank or spray on foam as needed.
    • Eco-friendly formula — Fully biodegradable and stable for long-term storage (up to 2 years).

    Best Uses

    • Carpet extraction when foam reduces recovery or threatens to overflow the tank
    • Wet vac pick-up after prior shampooing or using high-foaming products
    • Auto scrubbers where suds can interfere with recovery and leave streaking
    • Commercial maintenance jobs where unknown residues cause unpredictable foam

    How to Use

    1. Shake well before each use.
    2. Add to recovery tank: Pour 2 oz directly into the recovery tank before starting.
    3. For excessive foam: Spray defoamer directly onto foam as needed to collapse suds fast.
    4. Important: Do not apply directly to carpet. It can make carpet slippery and may contribute to faster re-soiling.

    Pro Tip

    If you’re cleaning carpet that has been previously shampooed (or you’re unsure what chemicals were used), add defoamer to the recovery tank before your first pass. It’s the simplest way to avoid surprise foam explosions mid-job.

    Why Choose Pile-Up® Defoamer

    Foam isn’t just annoying—it can reduce suction, slow recovery, and create cleanup problems that waste time on every job. Pile-Up® Defoamer is a quick, reliable fix that keeps your equipment running smooth, protects performance, and helps you finish faster with fewer headaches.

    Pile-Up® Defoamer is a powerful foam control solution designed to eliminate excess foam in recovery systems quickly and efficiently. When detergents and residues create excessive suds in carpet extractors, wet vacuums, or auto scrubbers, Pile-Up® Defoamer neutralizes foam instantly—preventing equipment overflow and maintaining optimal vacuum performance.

    Highly concentrated and extremely easy to use, just a small amount added to the recovery tank keeps foam under control, protecting your equipment and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted cleaning operations.

    Foam Control Technology

    Silicone Emulsion Formula — Instant Foam Elimination

    Foam buildup inside recovery tanks can reduce vacuum efficiency, trigger automatic shutoffs, and create unnecessary equipment maintenance issues. Pile-Up® Defoamer uses a silicone emulsion formula designed to break foam bubbles instantly.

    Once added to the recovery tank or sprayed directly onto foam, the solution spreads rapidly across the foam surface and collapses bubbles immediately.

    This ensures cleaning equipment continues to operate at peak performance without interruption.
