Encapsulation Technology Shortens Dry Times After Cleaning The Carpet

The time to clean residential and commercial carpet is before it looks soiled. the problem is that not many cleaning programs follow that rule. And when the decision is made to clean the carpet, restorative effort may be needed to bring the carpet back into an acceptable appearance. This typically ends in using a truckmount or high-powered portable carpet cleaning system, with high temperatures, strong chemicals and a tired, exhausted technician at the end of the work shift.

Interim encapsulation cleaning programs utilizing low moisture agitation and crystallization methods are becoming more and more popular as an effective way to ensure commercial carpet always looks good. It also makes scheduled restorative extraction cleaning much easier and less aggressive. Traditional cleaning Before implementing any cleaning program, cleaning managers must understand and believe in the reason for change. According to the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification S100 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Carpet Cleaning, there are five approved methods of carpet cleaning. They are:

* Absorbent compound

* Bonnet (pad)

* Dry foam

* Shampoo

* Hot water extraction

This by no means limits other methods that professionals may use, or the combination of methods. After all, this is the era of innovation, so expect huge changes in the future of cleaning. This is where a low moisture encapsulation system comes in. Don't be surprised if it is eventually added to the above list as a "mainstream" cleaning method. The technology Every carpet should be regularly vacuumed. Everyone agrees. However, a vacuum cannot remove oily soils, or even dry soils, once they adhere to oily soils on the carpet fibers. Encapsulation chemicals utilize detergency just like the typical chemicals that you use right now. The main difference is in the crystal polymers found in encapsulation chemicals, which takes the oily soils and makes them dry (in a crystal polymer structure) so that ordinary dry vacuuming can remove them.

These polymers in this detergent mixture are like the "second wave" in an army attack. After the detergents have done their work - attacking, separating soils from fibers, etc, with proper agitation - the crystallizing polymers surround or encapsulate the detergent in solution and the soils that are now suspended. After the encapsulate is added and worked into the carpet, the carpet looks clean. Imagine the benefits for huge facilities or airports, areas where truck mounts can't be used and portables are not practical. Each time the carpet is vacuumed, it gets cleaner because more soils inside the crystal polymers are vacuumed away.
