Should be interesting as Vacaway has been one one of the industry leaders in encap products.

I've been using their Encap Green as a spotter on upholstery and rugs since we started this thing. Great stuff. Haven't tried any of their other products aside from Red Vanish, seems like Bridgepoint's Red Zone Ready I've been using lately works better. But I've learned a bunch since I used Red Vanish, so that may of made an improvement that had little to do with the quality of the products.

Fair enough. Just went and read between the lines of a thread over there about some tensions. I don't know much but it seemed disingenuous and off the target. Like most of what one finds at a Phish concert.

I don't know why I keep referring to it as that. Every single video I saw a while ago with the owner seems like a cookie cutter car salesman kind of thing. Maybe the rest of what I can't put a finger on reflects that.
Oh right now I see the plug about *** in the op

R_ b the robber.
They updated shipping fees and return policies. Now you get your stuff plus a free massage where the sun dont shine.
Shop elsewhere boys. You can get great results with other products off the shelf at your local stores thst work just the same as spotnboost.

Ive talked to him. He sure is a straight shooter. Takes no bull but has the capacity to listen and help you as much as he can.

I never liked that stuff anyways. I keep using the sun kissed stuff from Florida.

I've always had good luck with his products. They seem consistent with Bridgepoint.

They really do as advertised. I like Vacaway spotters and Topspot. Those pretty much provided everything necessary to get commercial carpet clean.

If you shop around, there is an incredible spotter that’s does well for almost everything for nearly pennies on a dollar.
