If you two babies are still using presprays that don't encapsulate, then you need to get in the 21st century.

And stop trying to be rocket scientists.

Nobody is buying it.

You guys really think you're rinsing all your prespray out with 1 stroke? I always do at least 2. Sometimes straight strokes, sometimes triangles. Never had a complaint about either.


A slow stroke will...By the time you hit a "dry stroke" you are just recovering your rinse to dry......Or at least that's how the story goes.

What's the point of an encapsulating prespray that you rinse out?

That's what I was thinking.

Ask Scott's, VacAway, Bridgepoint, Magic Wand, Prochem, Chemspec or Dynachem ... to name a few off the top of my head.

Must be something to it.


Steve said there was no point to it...Unless you are letting it dwell for the acid dye blockers in "Kleenshield Block and Boost"

They are good for cleaning...But the encapsulating properties are lost when you rinse it.

I'm with Lee as far as triangles and crop circles ... when I am finished, the carpet looks as though it was groomed. However, I do not lift and place from the back stroke.

I don't pick my wand up when doing either wet or dry strokes.
I do make the dry strokes just a little longer on both the top and bottom of the stoke to pick up excess water from where the wand stopped, ie the clean line.

I leave no lines in the carpet. It just looks new.

Triangles and crop circles are for corn fields.

But Lee....I clean for a lot of farmers and country folk.......they're right at home with the triangles and crop circles!!
