Welcome to the friendly forum Harold.
I've not been in the industry for to long but I can understand where you are coming from, I also agree with many points raised, having been brought up on HWE, (especially after my disastrous run with shampoo in the early '70's).
Encap; is my main cleaning system now and has been for close on the last decade.
Due to Ricks' (& others) insistence, I also offer pad capping, or bonnet cleaning which, I believe, acts as the rinse in comparison to HWE.
I do carry a small porty for those jobs where I believe encap; or padding will not achieve the best results.
Larger jobs I pass on to those that have the knowledge & equipment needed.
As you would be aware, after encapping, vacuuming the carpet when dry, is also the equivalent of rinsing with HWE.
I value discussions like this as the members get to see and hear both sides of the story not only from other encappers/padders, but also those that make their living with HWE.
Many thanks for your comments.
Shorty.
