I did another Commercial VLM job this weekend.
My son and the customer were impressed with the results. They both were very Skeptical beforehand.
I wish I had taken before and after pictures
I guess I wasn't expecting such great results either.
Where did the dirt go?A year from now or maybe another dozen jobs, youll look for every reason to not steam clean a commercial carpet
For those of us who are follically challenged, and who keep that hair that remains short enough to not show the contrast, a damp wash cloth does just fine.
I feel targeted ....![]()
is corp pushing it, is it by individual location?ENCAPSULATION CARPET CLEANING

Stay cleaner longer with a professional encapsulation cleaning by Stanley Steemer, the leaders in clean since 1947. Schedule a free estimate today!
- Our team begins every encapsulation cleaning with a proper and thorough preinspection. We look for missing carpet fibers, delamination (or separation of the carpet from its backing), loose seams, fraying, unraveling fibers, and any other potential issues
- Next, we vacuum the entire surface using commercial-grade vacuum cleaners to remove any loose dirt, debris, and other soils
- Once the area has been thoroughly vacuumed, technicians apply our encapsulant cleaner using power sprayers, applying cleaner to all areas needing cleaned. Polymers surround the dirt and soils on the carpet fibers to crystallize and loosen them for simple removal
- Then, we operate a counter rotating brush or CRB machine across the carpet to dislodge the encapsulated dirt and debris from deep within the fibers
- Once all the encapsulated dirt and debris has been removed, the floor is spot cleaned by vacuum to remove any resulting shedding or fuzz

Would you just spray your hair and not agitate it, and call it good?Would you wash your hair with a damp wash cloth?

Can’t imagineWould you just spray your hair and not agitate it, and call it good?
Not true. Encapsulation works if you follow the steps.Would you just spray your hair and not agitate it, and call it good?
amusing to see the heads stuck in the sand over the concept of using absorbant pads to extract soil from 5mm of carpet fiber.

John Guerkink would be so proud to see that "the scales have fallen off of your eyes"....so to speak
to be fair, I HWE'd the next time, which went two years between cleanings..
Your rebuttal was against HWE not agitating.Not true. Encapsulation works if you follow the steps.
1: vacuum the area very well with a quality, roller brush vacuum , clean air path, new bag.
2: use appropriate application method; Cimex, or O.P.
3: in soiled areas, spray spotter strength encapsulation product, allow to dwell.
4: run machine while applying product
5: allow to dry
6: post vacuum after it’s dry W/ quality vacuum, slow passes.
I was a dedicated HWE guy, and have used the VLM method on numerous commercial settings.
As a Matter of Fact, I own 2 Cimex’s, one OP, and an old General variable speed 175.
We also have 2 HWE units.
I prefer to use VLM.
It works very well when all the steps are done correctly…
