What pads are you using?
Did you wet the pads before you used them?

Heavy cotton loop...dry when I pad capped..when wicking appeared then wrung out wet.... Capet was dry 30 minutes after first cleaning so wasn't overwet. After second pad cap it took 1.5 hours to dry and wicking was gone

Thanks Rick, I should have added in comments that I used 360 fans to amplify dry time. I also have a duplex with solution tanks maybe in this situation it would be better. I do surface spray bonnet for a little lube but basically it's "dry". I have a 17" rotary and 16" lowboy, do they make the microbeasts in 17" and do you think they would stay under the lowboy? I was looking for thin absorbant pads that I can wring out and rinse in mop bucket. I did look into the superzorb but only come in 20". I plan to talk with customer today because the area rugs that where stuck on the carpet are loaded with soap(I did not clean) and they plan to put them back on the carpet. What is the best way to clean soap saturated braided rugs..in the past I have used garden hose, lots of water and pushed it out with wand,vac and dry. Can I just encap? Lots of questions sorry.

We now have the MicroBeasts in 13" 15" 17" 19" and 21" sizes.
Using wet bonnets/pads is important. It really works better when they're damp before using them. So douse 'em in a bucket, wring 'em out good, and go to work.
Releasit's polymer can absorb old detergent residues quite well. However if the carpet is fully loaded with residue - HWE may be a good first step to unload more of the heavy build-up. Then after it's been extracted you can follow up with encap cleaning.

Thanks Rick, I hope you understand I wasn't criticizing hydrox! I worship your products and was just looking for someone who had experienced similar situation... When I clean with your products the expression on customers face is as if I just parted the red sea! Do you think the micro beast will stay under a lowboy or should I just pad cap with 175..I love the crb and don't want to solely op. I scheduled to pick up area rugs and rinse with lots of water..

Excellent! I'm not surprised though. Historically speaking, Releasit normally does a terrific job of encapsulating old detergent residues.
