barefoot day after cleaning?

June 14 2008 at 2:20 PM		 ken  
ever walk barefoot the day after encap and before vac?
I just did.
Actually the Cimex is broken so I had to prespray the DS then Cimex it then I HWE. These are some nasty mats.

So today I happen to walk on the mat barefoot as I was vacuuming. It was crunchy LOL then after I vac....nice and soft

Yes I have ken, and that is one of the main reasons why I won't encap in peoples homes.

I see you HWE'd it after so I can't say I've had that happen but striaght encap with either the Cimex or Brute and it's crunchy underfoot.

HMMMM. I rarely encap residential but I did an empty for a friend last week. It was really clean so I felt comfortable encapping it. Went back later to measure and I was impressed at how soft it was. Not crunchy at all. What did I do wrong?

Carpet not Crunchy? You didn't do anything wrong. I've never had crunchy carpets after encap. Plus HWE with encap eliminates the whole encap procedure.

eliminates the whole encap procedure.

(1) There is always residue left on the carpet even after HWE, so you're not extracting 100% of the Encapsulating solution.

(2) PUNCH is an encap product used with HWE so in that case you're not eliminating the whole encap procedure.
