French term or phrase: prébrossant

I need to translate "prébrossant interdit". I think it is for instructions on a garment label. I have an explanation as to what a prébrossant is: "Les prébrossants sont des tensio-actifs utilisés par les pressings avant le nettoyage surtout pour les
bas de manches, de pantalon, les poches afin de "pré-nettoyer" le vêtement pour assurer un meilleur nettoyage. Le problème est qu'avec les tissu en lin, il y a un fort risque de décoloration."
Does anybody know the correct term in English? Thanks!
