I am looking for some info on CnA and encap as I do lots of it for the schools in my area. I know it has been discussed someplace.

C & A is part of the Tandus Group. John Garger in Dalton, Ga. is in charge of maintenance. He is not in favor of the Cimex and requires HWE in their maintenance program. Go to their web site, Tandus.com/maintenance and read their requirements

they also like the Whittaker GLS

And I got 3 of them. John Garger e-mailed me and wanted me to do warranty calls for them, but been there and down that for Shaw, Mohawk, J&J and a few others. I stay much closer to home now. I feel if I go 25 to 30 miles from my office, I need to pack a lunch, LOL

We've heard John Garger has made some comments that the Cimex is not considered safe for the C&A carpet.
That puzzled us, since C&A carpet is reported to be a good product.

So a Cimex was sent to PROFESSIONAL TESTING LABORATORY in Dalton Georgia.

Gary Asbury at Professional Testing Laboratory tested the Cimex on CUT PILE commercial carpet. As you may know, cut pile carpet is more susceptible to damage.



Here's how they tested the Cimex...

They ran the Cimex with RELEASIT and FIBERPLUS PADS.
But they didn't make the standard 2-3 passes with the Cimex...

THEY MADE 22 PASSES WITH THE CIMEX (11 wet passes, and 11 dry passes).



Guess what???

The Cimex PASSED

Here's a copy of the test results from Professional Testing Laboratories with Gary Asbury's signature showing that the Cimex passed...

So statements about a Cimex doing damage to a carpet are not supported by science. Any such comments about the Cimex damaging carpet would amount to personal viewpoints that aren't substantiated by industry accepted test protocols.
