Geoff
I have used Rotobrite 11 and it foams in a similar way to Cimex Encap.


Mike
Its says on the Rotobrite 11 "bottle"

"Advanced carpet maintenance technology incorporating the power of hydrogen peroxide and state of the art encapsulation properties".

I did refer to Rotobrite 11

Joe, I use R11 it does say that on the container but its is not designed to encap soil it is for bonneting, the encapsulation is just a by-product of the cleaning it can't be used for pure encapsulation.

 funnily enough I also use Chemspec high heat detergent which also says it clean with the use of encapsulation but again it is not a encap chemical, I think they are riding the encap bandwagon to sell themselves.

So your bottle will say the same as mine.

"... for use in Low Moisture Cleaning Applications such as spray bonnet and cylindrical brush applications..."

further down it reads .... normal vacuuming procedures removes the encapsulated soils".

I used it on a grubby office carpet and it did a very good job (not my words - those of the boss of the place).

So I assume its good for bonneting and encap.

I have not yet  come across an encap product in the UK, that has inspired me to say it gave a brilliant result. The best out of the bunch for me has been the truvox own brand. There are a few in the States I would like to try, Releasit and the new one Snake oil from Judson, this is high foaming with a 2oz per gallon mix.

Joe just got it out of the van and you are correct it does say 'normal vacuuming procedure will removes the encapsulated soil'

it look like I was wrong it can be used as a stand alone encapsulation cleaner, I apologise for doubting you :-*

Perhaps on your next encap job you will use the Rotobrite 11 and give us a comparison against other encap solutions you have used.  You no doubt do much more encap then I so your opinion would be valued.

Derek
Its a pity Releasit is not available in the UK. Paul from Kinder Clean did look at the costs of shipping it over but proved too much.
Apart from Truvox Encap, what else have you used and how have you rated it.

I used roto brite on carpet tiles over the weekend and found it to be effective on stains that were presumably tea coffee and soft drinks. I found the most effective way to clean was a prespray followed by first bonneting with heavy duty  bristle pads i got from Restormate then a light re spray and a quick bonnet over with a normal pad.
I added some chemspec energiser to the mixed up rotobrite.

Customer was very happy which is all that counts and i earnt good money!
