Can you show us the exact products you recommend on Step 2 with a link? Specific bonnet, and encap detergent?

Hi Matt,
OK here's a rundown on a couple of products that could help you nail down the second step.

Encap-Clean DS2 would be an excellent choice. It's loaded with encap polymer. And it cuts through heavy soil exceptionally well. http://www.excellent-supply.com//Re...tion-Carpet-Cleaning-Products-Encap_p_58.html A few other manufacturers also have some good encap offerings.

Encap-HydrOx is a hydrogen peroxide encap detergent with a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. It also has a very acidic base (pH is 3.5 in concentrate). It does a terrific job of knocking down a wide range of discoloring conditions. I've seen it tackle brownish wicking situations extremely well. http://www.excellent-supply.com//Re...tion-Carpet-Cleaning-Products-Encap_p_63.html

MicroBeast bonnets are the bomb for commercial glue down carpet. They have sufficient scrubbing ability. And the microfiber fabric pulls up large amounts of soil. They also rinse out fairly easily. http://www.excellent-supply.com//MicroBeast-19-inch-Microfiber-Scrub-Bonnet_p_904.html

Heavy traffic will be an ongoing reality. You removed perhaps 1000 days of it already.

Now you can encap the current few days of traffic with outstanding results, that will starkly impede the recurring soiling.


Lee is correct. You moved a mountain already. You took out a ton of soil with the first step. With the second step you can bring the carpet together and "polish it off" so to speak. A good follow-up encap cleaning using very low moisture can really help to pull it all together. It gives the carpet a nice visual pop. The overall results can be pretty dramatic.

I already have some of those bonnets. So If I get a call to come back to freshen it up, I'll order some of that Encap-Hydrox from you

Matt, just to chime in here, I would suggest the DS2 or Punch to whallop the tracked-in stuff. Hydrox is outstanding for cleaning up smells, peepee (that's so Rico can inderstand), drink spills and food stains, but is not as strong an emulsifier as the other two.
They also leave a dose of protectant behind, which helps on your next go 'round.

In Australia we have a certain brand of ammonia protein spotter called "Sensation". its a bit infamous locallu.

Its rather strong at 4% and has nearly 10% Butyl solvebts.

I love it hammered carpets. Commercials, rental olefins its great.
Like Mikey suggests, hit these with ammonia bombs first up.

Shit i have even dusolved some flex in it to move.

I might go back and spray ammonia everywhere and tell them I won't rinse it out until I get payed.:hopeless:

Today is 30days, and I might get a check, but the chances are slim. That stupid giant corporation is probably on a 90day pay schedule

Took me almost 60 days to get paid for a 10pm $165 Cinemark job.

After we billed them it wasn't submitted so we resent it.

They replied we don't pay work orders we need to be invoiced!

I sent them this!

Our invoices are 30 days net... After 30 days additional handling fee of - whatever 10 % of the invoice will be added monthly.
I sometimes write on an invoice - save 10$ if mailed within 10 days.
I hate waiting to be paid.

Ps theatre carpet is the worst.
We did a lot of movie theatre tile cleaning in Ventura. All that butter flavored oil goo all over the back where they prepare the popcorn and cokes... pretty nasty.
