What is interesting to me is how many people have started adding encapping into their carpet business. The hot water extraction mgf companys are going to start spending lots of money to get their market share back so watch for more info on evils of using encap anywhere.------------------ Dust from encap will kill everyone and you cant get it off carpet unless you use a $25,000 truckmount.
Just using gray micro fiber pads with water and a heavy op machine we can remove build up on carpet and left over polymer before we start cleaning carpet that has been encapped a few times over 2 years.
What will kill this encap industry is the mills continue to void warranties if we use ANY pad with ANY type machine. If the companies that sell machines and products for us do not spend the money and effort to change the carpet warranties through cri certification and then pushing mills to accept micro fiber pads which are safer for carpet -----no one can clean any new carpet without getting blamed for voiding warranties. And CRB with a portable on commercial carpet or residential carpet does not even come close to cleaning with gray micro fiber pads and then with 5-10 micro fiber cotton blend pads to remove soil .
The more people that have to deal with voiding warranties tell their stories about using pads on carpet the more the encap business will dry up with or without crystals
