Carpet Care Chemicals

Encapsulating vs Traditional chemicals 

Traditional carpet cleaning chemicals contain detergents that are sticky by nature and are de­signed to attract and suspend dirt, separating it from the carpet fiber. The problem with these types of chemicals is that there is no known wet cleaning system that completely removes 100% of these detergents from the carpet during the cleaning process. This means that every time a carpet is wet cleaned, using traditional carpet cleaning products, chemical, along with unrecovered soil, builds up and adds to the ongoing struggle and cost of keeping carpets clean year-round.

The efficacy of traditional detergents stops there, but the encapsulating component of good cleaning chemistry will go one step further, surrounding (encapsulating) the detergent and dirt with a carpet-safe polymer. It is when the carpet dries that the secondary benefit of encapsula­tion technology is realized. Traditional detergents leave behind sticky residues that lead to rapid resoiling. But an encapsu­lating detergent dries into a hard crystalline material that fractures off the carpet fiber during the dry vacuuming process. Therefore an important benefit of encapsulation is that any residue left behind is of a non-sticky nature, and consequently does not result in rapid resoiling.

Seeing is Believing! The Difference is Crystal Clear

This demonstrates how traditional chemicals leave a sticky, soil attracting residue while the encapsulating product leaves a dry, non-sticky residue that will not attract new soil.
