Today was my first day I didn't feel like a hero cleaning with encap. I had cleaned a dirty carpet that was previously cleaned by the "dry foam" guy. The residue from the previous cleaning was embarrassing! They had area rugs on top of carpet that actually felt glued to each other, yuk. I presprayed with hydrox then scrubbed with crb and followed up with pad cap.. When it dried I had dirt on the surface like wick back. To correct I lightly sprayed hydrox and used damp bonnets wrung out in mop bucket to lift soil...I have cleaned carpet that was 10 times worse and came out amazing so I'm thinking this was due to the previous sticky soap... So my ? is, what should I have done differently? I have hwe carpets with that dry foam residue and carpets still had tacky feel.
