Transitioned from Truckmount to Encap
#35
Each method has it's pro's and con's. For trashed out rentals the Rotovac worked very well however it was a pain to drag all over the place and the equipment always breaks down.
We started in this business in 1986 using circular dry foam and at one point we were doing close to one million in gross sales. All of are advertising was telemarketing.

When caller ID came out we where finished. I sold all of the equipment to a local cleaning company and went into banking for 12 years. While I was a banker I met a Real Estate agent who manages rentals and
she convinced me to get back into carpet cleaning.

I now only offer VLM cleaning. I have a VonSchrader LMX , three 175/300 rotary buffers , a Certified Pile lifter, three vacuum cleaners , two Oreck Orbitors , one spotting machine, a portable steam cleaning machine with a Hydramaster Drimaster
upholstery tool and a hand held buffer for cleaning upholstery.

There is an art to mastering Encapsulation carpet cleaning and am learning something new every time we do a job. This forum along with others has been very helpful.

I have always liked dry foam cleaning but what made me switch to Encapsulation was a video on YouTube by Xerion Solutions comparing HWE to Encapsulation cleaning.

A lot of times I will use a dual method to clean and just the other month I cleaned a sofa with my spotting machine , it looked good but then I went back over it with my hand held buffer I was stunned at how much dirt was on the small bonnet pad that I was using.

1917 , that is the best Encap carpet cleaning picture that I have seen. What did you do to get it to come out that well ?
