Residential encapsulation

January 2 2004, 3:33 PM 

I have done several jobs residential with Releasit. In each case it has been in regular customers that are done on a scheduled basis, so they were not appreciably soiled.

In one house they have different carpets in each room. White nylon plush, lilac nylon frieze, tan nylon builders grade, and white wool berber. No problems getting clean, wick backs, etc.

Another house with all tan nylon plush throughout, with fairly bad dog body soils, again, no problem.

I have also done several loose rugs of varying materials, just encapping, and others encapping as a shampoo then rinsing. Worked fine in each case.

So far, I have not found any problems with any carpet of any material. Go for it!!

Oh yeah, last Tuesday, a customer with wool berber in one room and white nylon in another room wanted real fast drying. I used Releasit with thick cotton bonnets. About 10 minute drying times here.

Hoover Conquest

I have used the Hoover Conquest for many years. They are durable and do a fantastic job of removing dry soil. In ten years I have replaced one v belt, several brush rolls and only one motor. I highly recommend it.

i am new to the Cimex world as you know. I tried my luck, just experimenting..on an empty apartment this evening. My friends own it. i used Releasit and the Cimex and it turned out awesome. Looks brand new. cut pile carpet. dirty,, not trashed. i did it about 90 minutes ago.. still damp.. tea and coffee spills are completely gone. great machine..good stuff. I am getting the hang of it. It is going to be quite a weapon. Great choice on my part. Thanks Rick..Great machine.. great product.."Releasit"
I have a drop on a saucer in the kitchen. I am doing the little experiment from the article. Have a good weekend.
