Carpet encapsulation is a carpet cleaning method that uses a special detergent to crystallize and encapsulate soil particles in carpet fibers. The encapsulated soil is then removed with a vacuum.
Encapsulation carpet cleaning is an interim, low-moisture carpet cleaning method that dries quickly. While encapsulation does not eliminate deep cleaning methods like hot water extraction, it can prolong the cycle for which deep cleaning of carpet is required.
Encapsulation cleaning refers to a chemical process that dirt particles undergo when acrylic polymers encapsulate the dirt, isolating it from the carpet fiber and making it vulnerable to a dry vacuum.
There are many different cleaning methods that utilize encapsulation technology. Let’s compare some different carpet cleaning methods that can be done with encapsulation chemicals, and see how they stack up against each other.
Encapsulation Cleaning Technology: Dry Foam Shampoo
Dry foam shampoo is a time-tested method of carpet cleaning that comes with a variety of chemical formulas, though it is simply an ineffective method when compared to modern solutions.
Compared to an encapsulation carpet cleaning machine, dry shampooing is an ineffective use of your custodian’s time, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an encapsulation solution worth investing in if you don’t like the upfront cost of a machine.
Encapsulation Cleaning Technology: Chemical Absorbents
Chemical absorbents require significant manual labor to be applied effectively. You may end up manually scrubbing a dry chemical solution with a carpet scrubber when you could have saved time and money with a machine. Additionally, cleaning residue is often left behind, which has the potential to reduce air quality and attract more dirt or soil particles.
Encapsulation Cleaning Technology: Bonnet Cleaning
Using a bonnet on your encapsulation cleaning machine will require more water than some of the other methods we’ve looked at, which makes it a less sustainable method.
Typically, bonnets have more rigid bristles than a pad, which will result in more irritation and even damage to the carpet. For this reason, we don’t recommend bonneting unless you know it’s right for your carpet.
Bonnets will scrub harder than any manual effort can achieve, but that means there is a higher likelihood of residue getting pushed around and trapped deep within the carpet fibers. The leftover residue will attract new dirt particles, which results in resoiling.
