Cimex vs 175 Rotary Machine

[encapman]

I tried calling you a couple of times today, but kept getting your voicemail. Here's a quick description that should help to get you rolling more smoothly...

Try not to overthink this process. It really is simple! You rarely need to pre-spray in front of the Cimex. And you even more rarely would ever need to resort to HWE. To get the best results it essentially comes down to smoothness of operation with your Cimex machine.

Make a moderate paced wet pass, Followed by a slower dry pass. If the area needs additional scrubbing make another dry pass or possibly two. You can feather the trigger slightly on your dry passes. Avoid over-wetting the carpet! Again, the focus is smoothness of operation. Blend the carpet together. Look for a nice even clean appearance.

Movement of pile will naturally occur, so there may be lines in the carpet. Those will walk out of the carpet with a couple of days of foot traffic vacuuming. Explain this to your customer. It's nothing to be alarmed about, anymore than the impressions left in the carpet from the vacuum cleaner.

Once you get the hang of it, you'll find the encap process with the Cimex machine is incredibly efficient! That's why it has become so popular for maintaining commercial carpet. Keep it simple. Run your machine with the thought of looking for a smooth and even appearance. And as you become more familiar with the process, you'll find that it's extremely easy and effective.

It's pretty much all been said already in this thread. Encap performed smoothly and evenly using the Cimex/RELEASIT system will normally provide you with consistently great results on CGD carpet. The emphasis is on smooth and consistent coverage! And avoid over wetting too! If you're still having trouble, something is being done wrong. Smooth and even coverage with the Cimex will work wonders 99% of the time. Since you keep running into trouble it would seem like you're having some trouble getting the system dialed in. Again; smooth and even is the key - and avoid over wetting the carpet. Once you've mastered that, you should see some really nice results. It really is a simple system.
