2nd P.S.- Good job Rick.
So, where does the dirt go?
Where does the dirt go?
It turns into money.
Seriously though, the answer is twofold...
Point 1
We were cleaning with
Releasit.
Releasit dries to a crystalline residue. We weren't using an Encap impostor, it is a genuine crystallizing product.
The cleaning solution contains the soil. The solution dries and the the crystallized residue contains the soil. The crystal breaks away from the fiber. And it gets pulled from the carpet through routine vacuuming. That's why it's important that we used an Encap product that truly crystallizes.
Point 2
We were also running Microbeast bonnets on the Vario. Those are made of microfiber, and microfiber can pull a lot of soil. You should have seen the bonnet when I pulled it off - it was nasty!
So we were utilizing two modes of cleaning:
(1) Encapsulation, and (2) Absorption.
That's where the dirt goes.
Could HWE pull more soil? Of course it could. But there are times and places where alternative methods have their place. CGD carpet is one place where maintaining a carpet with a good Encap system makes sense.
The point of what we demonstrated at the show was interesting though. It demonstrates how far a good Encap system can be pushed. This was clearly not a real world application. HWE would normally have been a good choice for that level of trashed carpet. But we were able to effectively show that a good Encap system could take a totally trashed carpet back to an acceptable appearance level.
