Thread: Does this feel right

Hi everyone,

I have a Cimex machine that I am going to use to clean hotels and other commercial areas. However, before I go out into the world and use the machine I like to have some confidence in what I am doing and what I am selling.
Any how I got my hands on a fairly large area rug that is nothing special just a nylon area rug. In fact I am going to throw it out, but before I throw it out I cleaned it with the Cimex machine as a test. I put down alot of encap partially on purpose, however I guess my question is under noramal circumstances I mix the encap fluid with water via the directions on the bottle. Then I run the Cimex machine until I see a light white froathing not foam just enough to see a light white color at the top of the carpet and start walking. Well I know I kind of went over board on this one and when I went to do the post vac there were times when it was pretty hard to move the vacuum cleaner on the carpet. I do have a Certified Pile Brush, but it needs a small minor repair and because of that does not pick up dry soil as well as my regular Oreck upright.

What I am asking is if someone were to endcapsulate and they over did a section would it be normal for the carpet to feel rougher and tougher and harder to move a vacuume across?

That's is kind of what I thought as well. If I over did it then the carpet would become like a plastic cement. Any how for the big jobs i'll just take it easier. Like I said this was an area rug that someone gave me and I just cleaned it as a test. The rug was nothing real special and I will be throwing it out, but for any big jobs will just take it easy and I think every thing should be fine. I was using Cimex brand encap cleaner to do this test.
