After reading all I can about these 2 chemicals I'm not sure which one to use for 17" rotary machine. It seems like unless I have a cimex that the punch would be the way to go. Are there any situations that the encap clean would be better with the rotary? I may be wrong but it seems the punch has all the benefits of clean, so it seems it would be better with a fiber plus pad agitation/bonnet extraction combination. Until I get a cimex I will use the method for maintenence on hotels and offices. Thanks for any info.

What I've been doing is hitting the stains first with the Punch, than doing the whole thing with encap-clean

using a white pad and a 300rpm rotory for both

seem to be getting exelant results so far.

Encap-Clean is designed to be used in a scrubbing type application. It can be used with any machine that can scrub the carpet - a Cimex machine, a Rotary machine with a FiberPlus pad or a brush, a Cylindrical Brush machine, or an OP Machine with a FiberPlus pad. Encap-Clean is a killer product that can make a messed up carpet shine.

Encap-Punch is a low foaming 3-in-1 product. It is a very good encap pre-spray. It can also be used as an encap rinse product at a second dilution. And it works well as a bonnet cleaner at a third dilution. As a bonnet cleaner, Encap-Punch works well since it's low foaming and foam can get in the way in a bonnet cleaning application.

The cleaning chemistry is entirely different between Encap-Clean and Encap-Punch. Both work great in their respective applications. They'll make the carpet smile.
