Great juice.
Next to releaseit ds its simply the best encap juice as far as performance as well as safe to use. IMHO

Thanks

Like Jeff I tried the free gallon offer they had on there web site (last time I checked they don't have that offer any longer)I was very impressed with the way it cleaned a very trashed resi carpet, and I like the citrus smell. My only problem with it is in a petri dish test there didn't seem to be much crystalization. Nothing like Rick's products or VacAways Encap Green which has the citrus scent as well.

Dish Test

October 11 2008, 2:59 PM 

I concur with the comments re. dish testing. Releasit products all (that I've ever used) pass the dish test with flying colors.

Other products such as this one dry to a hardened goo, which may not be sticky, but it sticks to the dish like glue. Some manufacturers sell their product as if that's a good thing, but I can't help but wonder if you're coating the carpet in plastic, much of which will never come out. There doesn't seem to be a very good way to test these "film former" type of products, so I for one just say no.

DISH TEST

An encapsulation product must dry to a crystal, otherwise it is not a True encap product. Pour a small sample into a bottle cap and watch it flake. Put the cap in a sandwich bag and use it for a selling tool if necessary. I still have some dirt that impressed a business from encap from about 5 years ago.

Thank you for all the great testing experiences given.
There is a good reason why Releasit products crystallize better than others, it is because of the Crystalon 3 Polymer that is used and the amount in the products. The Polymer is one of the most expensive parts of the formula and we spare no expense when we make this product for you guys.

When Rick does something he does it Right.
