About this product
Releasit Encap-1 DS is the original Releasit encapsulation detergent. It is a highly concentrated, shampoo-style formula for heavily soiled commercial carpet and performs best when shower-fed through a Cimex or any shower-fed machine. No rinse step is needed, and the encapsulated soil is removed by routine vacuuming.
Features
- Cleans about 39,600 square feet per 4-gallon case. A highly concentrated formula covers a lot of floor per order.
- Shower-fed encapsulation shampoo. Works especially well shower-fed through a Cimex or similar machine, so the detergent and scrubbing action work through the carpet.
- Releases oily and sticky soil. The detergent penetrates the soil that holds dry dirt to carpet fibers, and CRYSTALON3 polymer surrounds soil particles and holds them in suspension.
- No sticky residue. CRYSTALON3 polymer dries to a crystal that does not attract other soil. The encapsulated soil is removed by normal, routine vacuuming.
- Wicking and recurring spills. The non-sticky crystallized residue makes encapsulated soil easier to recover during routine post-vacuuming.
- Carpet types. Concentrate pH of 8.5-9 with a fresh citrus scent. Suitable for colorfast wool and all synthetic carpet fibers.
Directions
Shampoo or encapsulation cleaning: Shake well before using. Mix 4 ounces of Encap-1 DS per gallon of hot water. Scrub thoroughly with overlapping passes. A light whitening of thin foam indicates sufficient application; a heavy foam buildup is unnecessary. On heavily soiled sections, make additional dry passes without applying more solution. Rinsing is not required. Vacuum the carpet during the next scheduled vacuuming interval to recover the encapsulated soil.
Traffic-lane pre-spray: Mix 6 ounces per gallon of water and apply with a coarse-tip sprayer. Encap-Punch can also be used as a pre-spray with Encap-1 according to its label directions.
Bonnet or pad cleaning: Mix 4-6 ounces per gallon of water. Apply with a coarse-tip sprayer and scrub thoroughly with overlapping passes using a damp, clean bonnet or pad.
Recurring spill treatment: Mix one part Encap-1 DS with two parts water in a spray bottle. Apply a few sprays to the spill and brush the solution thoroughly through the affected carpet fibers.
Equipment: Cimex or any shower-fed machine, orbital scrubbers, CRB machines, 175 RPM rotary scrubbers, and bonnet or pad methods. Always test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area before cleaning.
