Carey Mitchell of Shaw Industries has recently been stating that encapsulation is not an acceptable cleaning method. And of course, the CRI is following Shaw's lead as they have not yet chosen to accept encapsulation as a testable cleaning method.
So let's be clear about this; the CRI and Shaw are not currently favoring encapsulation. That's interesting. Well then take a look at page 8 of the following SHAW MAINTENANCE manual where it recommends maintaining Shaw's commercial carpet with a CRI APPROVED "Encapsulation" detergent. http://www.excellent-supply.com/shaw_maintenance_brochure.pdf
It states the following information regarding encapsulation cleaning:
"• Low moisture encapsulation: Low moisture encapsulation
systems efficiently improve carpet appearance with limited down
time for cleaning and drying. The cleaning agent R2Xtra, or another
encapsulating cleaner certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI)
Seal of Approval Program, is applied and mechanically agitated into
the carpet pile, allowed to dry, then vacuumed to remove the
encapsulated soil. In conjunction with scheduled hot water extraction,
the low moisture method helps maintain premium carpet appearance. "
But wait a minute; Shaw's Carey Mitchell is currently saying that they don't accept encapsulation! And at this point in time, the CRI has not yet recognized "encapsulation cleaning" as a testable cleaning method. So then how in the world will it be possible for anyone to use an "encapsulating cleaner certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval Program"???
I guess it's a mystery. :shock:
