If you'd like to try a rinse-free encap spotter that's in a league of its own - give Encap-Spot a try. You'll like it. I promise.

Encap-Spot covers a wide range of soil types. Reduces colored stains. Counteracts odor. Doesn't require rinsing. It's downright handy to work with.
Thanks again.
I'm trying to sum things up a bit.
- DS2 is a good all purpose encapper. I haven't tried it in stronger dilutions than 4 oz per gallon but so far, no magic in bad/trashed ones. Really good on easy ones with some stains.
- Punch: New favourite for bad ones, did outstanding in two jobs I've done prespraying this, then Cimex with DS2.
Now, if I come across floods that left water marks, what do you use? I've tried DS2 and Punch with no luck.
How about salt/white stains on builing entrance carpets due to tough winters here. I believe DS2 didn't work.
How about urine stains?
And finally, that EncapSpotter, what it is used mainly for or just throw it at any stain and use DS2 on top when not too many spots that justify a full prespray? I am confused as to whether is better to use hydro/punch prespray or just a spotter for cleaner carpets with some stains.
Those should be my last 4 questions in this topic haha...I know you have been over hundreds of topics so you know much better what works and as important, what has worked for others.
