Tell me about it please! I have t/m and texatherm bonnet system what is usp for encapsulation please.

[Jamie Pearson]

Same as your texatherm system.

What's the benefit for a customer of using encapulation over a bonnet system? I can understand the benefit for the cleaner but not the customer?

I think encapulation is a system designed to be sold to carpet cleaners, it's quicker and gives great visual results, if you look at the marketing for encapulation machines the big USP is how much square footage of carpet you can clean in an hour, so you can offer low footage prices to get the job and still walk away with good money.

Encapulation is the Walter Mitty of the cleaning world it's a bit like the AbBlast 2000 on the shopping channel

Can someone explain in layman's terms exactly what this system is and how it works.How does it differ from traditional LM

Keep reading about it but never seen it in action

Haven’t got the foggiest, but think it down to the cleaners post vacuum and not spot vacuum as the do

[Russ Chadd]

It's dead simple...

Vac the carpet , pre spray with encap, agitate, allow to dry, vacuum.
The carpet will visually improve after a few passes with the rotary... And for commercial cleaning that is the objective.
Some people use encap for cleaning domestics, I choose not to.

[Jamie Pearson]

Don't forget that encapsulation cleaning isn't just spraying and scrubbing the slurry around waiting for it to go brittle.

There are a number of products out there such as Chemspec liquid High heat, Prochems Natural Range and multi use products that use the same technology to help manage residual soil after rinsing or grab hold of odours for removal.

I do not know about that, Billy Russell bought the abs blast 2000 and look at the size of his gut.

Just to add what Russ has said, if's also done right, the results are really really good.  Encap is the way to go on most commercial jobs. I have 12,000 sqft of commercial carpet to clean a week Saturday. Encap all the way.

Two men on a 17" rotary, and 1 man vacs, and pre-sprays.  We should cover 1,500 -2000 sqft between us an hour. Steady away.  Good money too. Dynamall on this beauty.

Like Jamie suggested... Chemspecs liquid high heat is another truly amazing product, its basically an acidic cleaner which you put in your solution tank, i find it gives you the wow factor especially when rinsing light coloured wool carpets... plus it encapsulates any remaining soils.
