Encappers....Unite!

[rwcarpet]

To all those CC'ers that also encap regularly, what are you using as a solution? There are so many friggin' different products out there that one cannot possibly test and try them all. I've tried ProCaps from PC (I had a case of it), a little of Ricky's juice, and lastly, I tried Encapuclean O2. All seemed to work alright. So for those that have experience in encapping, what is the best bet?

 

[FLYERMAN]

If you get anything over at Joe Bs store try his S/O/E. It's the best I have ever tried.

releasit ds1. sometimes we pre spray with releasit encap punch then cimex with ds1. My second choice is hot knife by vacaway.

 

[TomKing]

Releasit. We have used everything else and it never lets us down. I order it 55 gallons at a time.

 

[Shane Deubell]

Release it for sure.

Snake OIl and Surround are also worth a try... A couple more good Vacaway products worth mentioning are Encap Green and Peroxcellent.

 

[bensurdi]

Which one smells the best? I here good things about the smell of Surround & EncapGreen is pleasant. I like the teatree oil smell but the coughing issue is not preferred. Snake Oil smells like straight up ammonia which would offend residential and occupied buildings in my opinion but it cleans well.

 

[Jeremy]

Yeah, admittedly Snake Oil does have an ammonia kick to it when mixed strong. Encap Green isn't bad at all... Kind of a citrus-ish scent. The ProFresh scent of Surround Ultra is my personal preference (in terms of scent). Strawberry Peroxcellent or PadCap Pro are a close tie for second. That said, scent is a personal preference (just because you like it doesn't mean your customer will) the only safe choice is no scent at all. Surround Free (no scent at all) may be a good choice in that regard.

Tell you what, I'll make it easy to try a few products so you can find one you like (or stock up on your favorite:

Buy a case of any Surround Product and I'll refund up to the first $30 in shipping (this is a standing offer).

Buy a case of Snake Oil and a Qt of Magic Bullet and get a full refund on shipping.

Buy a case of Vacaway Peroxcellent or Releasit Hydrox and get a $20 rebate on shipping.

Buy a case of Releasit DS2 & Releasit EncapPunch and get a free box of Planetary Pads.

and just because its that time of year:

Buy 5 or more cases (mix and match) and recieve a free VacAway Spotting Kit and a full refund on your shipping. (Orders over $400 alwsy get free shipping). Orders of 5 cases or more also recieve a free VacAway Spotting Kit until Jan 3.

All offers are for the lower 48 states but I'll do a flat $30 off to Hawaii, Alaska & Canada. Offers are good until January 3rd, 2013. Offers don't combine with other promotions or coupons. (Sorry guys I have kids to feed, lol). Just put "Holiday Special" in he comments section.

Snake Oil Hands down, Although I have free gallon of Joes S&O Encap I have yet to try.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Smell wise Padcap Pro and Peroxcellent do smell pretty good and clean very well.

We like Hotknife, Pad Cap Pro, Peroxcellent, Snake Oil, Releasit.

We will bounce around between the sales on these products, I don't think you can't lose using any of these products.

Love the encapstore.com, all the brands we us in one stop. Whether it's pads, cleaning solutions or spotters you can order anytime of the day or night and get the stuff shipped right to you.

We rarely change detergents, think we just ended up at excellent-supply by osmosis.

No way i can remember how.

 

[Jimmy L]

Stick with what smells good.

www.bonnetpro.com has FREE shipping on orders.

I just wait for the interlink CAD day and get my scampoo 25% off.

$90 for a case of Encapuclean O2

Why order thru a internet middleman?

 

[carpetcleaner]

I like CTI's Brushes & Bonnets. It smells ok and works really well. I'm also happy with the BrushPro stuff. I don't like the line of products carried by Interlink. There either have a strong smell or they didn't clean that well.

 

[Jay_wat]

I Use snake oil,, have tried release it,, more satisfied with snake oil. Odor is not an issue unless mixed strong.

I'm a little late to the party but, I like Cobb's encap juice.

Vacaway just came out with a new Encap Green advanced cleans great also smells good just lite citrus. There Hot Knife and peroxcellant also work great and they work really well if you mix them together. Releasit products are just as good also the DS,Hydrox and Punch all great products. Surroud smells good and cleans good but resoils very fast and so I do not use it. For normal soils the DS , hotknife and encapgreen will work the best the hydrox and peroxcelant work really well in situations that have alot of spots and stains.

I ended up using Encapuclean02 because I've had experience with it before. Really brightens the carpet. Swirls from the Cimex was a little evident, but with vaccing and traffic, they will all disappear.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Robert on carpets with more pile you can groom them if the swirls are a going to be a problem. We generally groom piled carpet.

 

[Neil King]

Encapuclean O2 is good but it needs a deo added.

I tried some Surround last week and was very pleased with it.

This was very low profile, older nylon commercial carpet. It's lookin' better each time I stop by to check it out. It's a mezzanine.....only used by walkers on their lunch break.

 

[Desk Jockey]

You're right they will walk the swirls out.

These double headed monsters work great for large areas.

 

[tmdry]

I've switched from vacaway to soils oils over a year ago, works great and half the price.

 

[Derek]

is that bristors stuff? link?
