Surround Encap
« on: May 27, 2011, 07:47:45 pm »
This stuff is fantastic for LM best product I have ever used, jaw dropping results. Mixed up stronger makes an extremely effective spotter shifts tea and draught marks.

Got me wondering if encaping could be the future of CC.

Aint cheap but worth every penny.

Dave,

Too late, I'm on it ;D

Mark,
You said' jaw dropping' results, how did you use it? Also, tell us about getting tea, coffee and draft marks out.

Simon

Simon as a conventional HWE spotter it is extremely effective but not of course foolproof. Spray dwell rinse.

Cleaning  carpet tiles, very low profile carpet, vav, prespray, brush in,  jaw dropping results, even better when dry.

Never tried it on normal carpet but will test it on a rental  brushed in with envirodry next week.

I like it albeit a little expensive, I cleaned an old cotton print the other day must have been 25 years old the one with the peacocks on anyway after cleaning and drying it needed a little bit extra so I applied it and toweled must admit it did look good wish I'd have had this stuff in the late 80's.

Love the marketing blurb suggesting other similar products may produce airborne hazards.  ::)

I think I'll stick to the cheap stuff that does the same job but without the hype.

How does it compare with Procaps as that was supposed to be one of the best?

It's hardly expensive, I used it few days back on £280 job, cost maybe £5 in product.

You are so quick to come on here and criticise products from various manufacturers. At least be a man and have some balls and do it under your real name.

The no rinse spotter is really good.

Will try some surround for padding, have always found rotobrite II good. Anynone compared the two?

Mark can you use it on upholstery  ;D

I will do what I want thank you very much. And I think you will find that on many occasions on here I have recommended Craftex products. I also point out when other suppliers take the mick with pricing items where Restoremate is generally reasonable.

Surround is the best encap product i have used, by far expensive !! not at all considering the dilution ratess, and , I cleaned a chinese restraunt cple weeks ago, minging started with h/w/e  owner wanted me to use the encap which i had used the previous week at their other restraunt lin Leeds, results excellent £20 tip and a bottle of glenmorangie. thank you very much mrs wong  ;D

Pretty much any chemical used is a relatively small expense in comparison to the potential job profit.

Ease of use and results is more important to me. This product seems to be intimating though that there may be issues with other products where the encapsulate becomes airborne. I've never heard of a problem and sounds like it's a creative idea to knock the competition.

Maybe John will send me a sample to try.  ;D

just a bit of a daft question; can you use this product in conjuction with the bonnet cleaning method anyone? if so, how does it measure up to catalyst & the likes, please? charlie.

The idea with encap is you work it into the carpet and the foam encapsulates the dirt which is hoovered up when dry. You can use your rotary with a shampoo brush or something like a red or white pad. Youtube it or do a search on encap man.

Yes you can use it as a bonnet cleaning product as well daily vacuuming by cleaners if used in commercial property will get residue up.Personally I think its on par with roto brite but rotobrite offers stainshield.Depends what you want
