I totally agree with you Groovyjon. My way of putting it is each tool is an extension of you. I just have to say for the typical soil I deal with everyday residential or commercial encapsulation does the job IF YOU DO IT RIGHT. I've seen where people give a quick vacuum if at all and then encap. That's not the correct way to get the best results IMO. If all you have is a vacuum you should have a nice commercial vacuum and spend more time vacuuming then encaping. Having a CRB is one of the best tools to have even if you are HWE. It is critical to remove any soil that's not attached to the fiber before applying treatment. Any method this should be the first and most important step, otherwise your wasting chemical and possibly setting stains. Yes there are times I have to break out my HWE but it's very little unless I'm cleaning upholstery.
I guess what I'm saying here is you shouldn't have to leave so much encap juice that it needs to be flushed out. Sometimes it's better to clean an area twice with light coats of treatment then it is to soak it with one which usually never works anyway!
