Oscillating Pad Extraction Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning Carpets are pre-vacuumed Encapsulation products are applied-- agitated, soil and encap products are extracted into micro fiber pads
Carpets are post vacuumed to groom carpet and as the carpets are regularly vacuumed, the encapsulation polymer holding soil will release from carpet over time. After more than 10 years of working on white carpets with encapsulation cleaners, are customers have seen their carpets stay clean longer compared to when we used to use a truckmount and old type of hot water extraction cleaners and rinses.
Here is a video demonstration of encapsulation cleaning:
Where does the dirt go? Photos and Video tell the story
Pre-vacuuming removes dry soil
Soil is absorbed into Pads
Oscillating pad machine on residential carpet can extract soil into pads as shown by white pads absorbing dirt in this video.
Post vacuuming removes more soil and encapsulation crystals
Stairs and furniture can be cleaned better and dry faster with oscillating pad machines
I can compare pad extraction to hot water extraction because I used hwe from 1998 to 2011 on carpet and fabric fibers.
