How often should you perform HWE when you're working with a good encap cleaning program? It's a question we often hear. So I decided to devote an EncapTV video to this subject.
How often should HWE be performed with good encap?

Did he not read the ten plus years post.The more you use it, the cleaner the carpet gets. So after a couple years of shampoo, you don't have to touch it. Keep smoking that stuff.....

well, I'm off to go pad some dining room carpet that I wish I could HWE but the old folks would be tripping on my hoses and complaining about the noise.

Looks and sounds like a Late night infomercial.
Speaking of which....a ‘good’ encap can be bought for about $12 bucks a gallon.

That's $27.60
Rafa-S said $12.00
Though they must be good- "polyhedral polymers" and "unique crystallization geometry".
Damn! Don't know if Ricky's has those.

Jimmy's cleaning formula, the man knows his stuff. And evidently it even provides better releae:
"FiberCAP MP contains advanced technology in encapsulation chemistry with polyhedral polymers to get all types of your commercial carpeting cleaner. The unique crystallization geometry of these polymers enhance soil entrapment and provides better release from the carpet fiber."
In geometry, a polyhedron is simply a three-dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons, usually joined at their edges. The word derives from the Greek poly (many) plus the Indo-European hedron (seat).
Polyhedron -- from Wolfram MathWorld

Like your gonna put on a tin hat, get down on your knees and whip out your poly stethoscope and your crystal geometric microscope for a lab analysis. Gotta give it to the scampoo dude...he’s making money which is the bottom line. After this post it don’t matter cause your profits, my profits and his will all be profits....some profits will be a larger then others and other profits will be less...that’s all.
In fact, there is an all natural mix that you can make and the carpets will look fantastic PLUS keep cleaning for a long time without doing either hwe or pad. Just vacuum each week. Been testing it for the last 6 months.

I've been pushing a Cimex since about 2002sh.
I'm still not totally comfortable explaining to on lookers, especially head janitors, about where the dirt goes..
I secretly hope that they assume it's being sucked up into the big yellow thingies up top.
So I avoid eye contact at all cost...
Last night I used my OP and sure enough the new head janitor had to come ask..
" I've heard about those machines before but never seen one in action, so the pad absorbs the dirt, right? Sure looks like it works. Encapsulation, right?"
I have an old washer, I wish I would opened the lid last night to see what the 1st round of rinse water looked like....

Any performance difference between the three different ones you used?
And also did you ever or will you, check if there's any difference in re-soiling between the three?

No performance difference
I'll go look in a few weeks

Scratch off all names on the machine, tape up the bottles and tell em them machines weigh about 400 lbs and cost about $12,000.00 up front start cost for the machines. And don’t forget to tell them you chemistry is your proprietary mix.
Never ever trust them janitor guys...Carry a long knife about the size of a machete on your waist and put your hand over it the next time he stops to chat with you. This way if if thinks on doing the same thing and stealing your account, he’ll remember your hands on the machete and think twice. Works every time. It’s called job security.

Jani - What do you use...?
Me - The best chemistry is the rug ductur cleaner at Lowes. Yeah thats right. The secret sauce is to add a hint of bleach in the tank. Then a spray bottle with water an a hint of downy mountain fresh to soften and freshen as a final step.

When I feel those gears turning from someone watching I start trying to sell them my business.
Lots of new start ups around here lately. They only seem to help my business.
Genny says I make it look easy to the onlookers. I've let people swing the wand and run the buffer. They ALL hand UT back after a couple minutes as they run out of breath and start sweating.
