What is encapsulation carpet cleaning?

Encapsulation (encap) carpet cleaning is a low-moisture method. A polymer solution crystallises around soil particles, which are then vacuumed away. It uses up to 99.5% less water than steam extraction and carpets typically dry in 45 minutes.

How long does encapsulation carpet cleaning take to dry?

Most commercial carpets are touch-dry in about 45 minutes, not 6–24 hours. Occupants can walk on the floor with soft-soled shoes immediately. Heavy furniture is usually fine after about 90 minutes.

How much water does encapsulation use compared with steam cleaning?

Steam (hot water extraction) uses 3–5 litres of hot water per square metre. Encapsulation uses about 50ml per square metre — around 99.5% less water — and produces almost no wastewater.

Is encapsulation carpet cleaning suitable for offices and retail?
