It is good to see that there are people who realize the value of encapping carpets. I have been enacapping for about 6 yrs. The biggest difference I have noticed is the quality of the newer generation of chemicals. I hate to sound arrogant but I have never understood how hwe alone could clean carpets.I am anxious to try releasit,I have been using zep shampoo and it works pretty good ,but with everything I have read here it seems realeasit is the real deal! I have learned that the texture of the carpet should be the determining factor as to whether tot use a brush or a floor pad . Believe it or not a RED floor pad works really well. I do want to know will releasit work in a slf contained machine .And if so do I need to add anti-foam to the solution tank. Looking forward to chatting with you guys because I feel we can all learn from each other !

Releasit Encapsulating Detergent will work in a self contained machine. Do NOT add a defoamer.

What kind of self contained machine?

Bob, they are all the same "spit and suck"
One with a brush action works best, have one tried it with encap detergent was not impressed, too slow.
