Until you get all the stuff out of the backing you will have on going problems with these spots. You can encap it if you like, it will take the spots longer to reapper but they will reappear until youget all that stuff flushed out. There is the possibility it is occuring in an area that has frequent mishaps as well. Like near the waitress station or a buffet line.....where spills occur frequent.
I don't remember if someone suggested this or not but you can use the weighted towel procedure after flooding and extracting. Put a thick white towel on the area in question and weight it with bricks or something heavy over night.
You're right... If you overwet it, it will come back. However, my experience with encapping is that they don't come back if done properly. I've done a lot of square footage with the Cimex and
Releasit, it does work better on spills then HWE.
It depends on the building. If you can access it with the truck mount, flush it out... you will still need to treat it with Proxi or similar product.
Releasit DS and
Punch are a very versatile products. Even if you don't encap, keep a bottle around. I've removed furniture stains with the stuff, as well as other unkown stains that I was having probelms removing with other HWE products. It is now a regular item in my spotting kit.
