Follow this linear thought;
I will put my experience,knowledge, and method against any other out there.
and certainly beat the crap out of encappers everytime.


Now, tell us who you really are.

Adriana, or whoever you are. As someone who used bonnets for years, then switched to TM/extraction...there is no comparison. Padding is a joke, it does help the appearance, but leaves WAAAAAY more chems in carpet...along with soil, dander, urine, etc... I believe that spray/buff should only be used as a follow up to HWE to achieve better dry times...or on commercial grade carpet as a "maintenance" clean only. Anyone who tries to claim they are "deep cleaning" with pads/encap is not a quality technician (IMO) and cheating custy's.

I know you said no boy parts under those clothes but you are a different kinda girl.

I have NEVER SEEN a girl argue as you do ... for a point or against it. Its not that you can't be a girl, as you say you are, but you write like the rest of us GUYS ... i bet you are treated just like one of the guys where ever you go .... you sure can understand us.

So what gets the most chems out of the carpet? Just a thought, if you rinse with 15 gallons of water in your average house or 50 gallons? I believe the Demon uses more water than most truckmounts and all other portables.

I put down between 2 and 5 ounces in most houses. The more chems I put down the more water I rinse with.

Some men seem to go out of their way to show how much they are intimidated, ad hominem is one of the most common.

So are you point and shoot or front sight?

Taking out the windmill thing was awesome. I haven't seen it before.

Basically there is no 'point shooting' at any competitive level and there are only a very few cases in self-defense situations where it is practical. Accuracy & speed comes from repetitive training & mastery of:
-Grip
-Hold
-Sight alignment
-Trigger press
-Follow through and sight recovery

I encap residents everyday, use vac away products, bonnets and 175 Z bomb or hot knife.

You sound pretty handy with a pistol, I wish I could get wife to shoot.

About Encap, I may have to go into more detail on this later but I have gotten some awesome results with Releasit's Hydrox compined with HOST using the HOST machine on some really heavily soiled carpet. The Hydrox is also compatable with certain spotters and presprays as in it will still crystalize and vacuum out. I have been encaping my own carpet with Hydrox only and it still looks great.

The level of ignorance here about the encapsulation method is disgusting. I am a 95% HWE company, but encapsulation has it's time and place. If you are not willing to learn new things it is a disservice to yourself. The argument between what method leaves the most residue in the carpet is pointless. When encapsulation cleaning the whole idea is to leave the product in the carpet.

For whatever reason, there is some stigma attached to that. But the product was designed for that very reason--to stay behind. It actually prevents resoiling.

For those of you who are all high and mighty about not leaving chemicals behind, I guess you are too smart to upsell protector too.

A professional carpet cleaner who can't encap and HWE is as bad as a car driver who can only drive automatic transmissions. Sure they are licenced to drive, but they are not the best driver they can be.....

So what do you do when your wife is staggering around the back yard?




























Shoot her again---You said you wanted to get a wife to shoot---I don't think you will keep her around for long...

This whole discussion has given me more useful info to relate to my customers that have been scared by he VLM lies/hype.

Next time a caller starts regurgitating the VLM fast drying hype they have been told, I'm just going to say the following....

"Ma'am, if you choose to go with a VLM method rather than our steam cleaning method, you shouldn't pay more than about $10 per room for the service. Their equipment cost a couple of thousand dollars compared to our $20,000 machine. We base our prices on what our cost of doing business is, they should as well."


Thanks for the inspiration.

Do you REALLY feel like encap is the BEST you can do for that customer?

Kirby/Rainbow can sell an encrap machine to homeowners and they can do THE SAME QUALITY JOB THAT YOU CAN!!!

Anybody can drive an automatic!

I don't think you're comprehending what some of us are trying to say. Read the posts. I HWE easily over 95% of my jobs. There are some jobs where something else is needed. If you can pay attention for 20 or 30 seconds I'll explain: I have a few customers with glue down carpet in a basement that doesn't respond well to HWE, so it gets encapped, and yes, in that situation I am confident (based on facts, my education and experience) that is the best I can do for that customer.

Some other customers have stains that reappear everytime I clean their carpet. After HWE, I encap those areas. There is a time and a place for it. No one here has claimed encapsulation cleaning to be superior to any other method. But there are certain situations where HWE just isn't the best option. GEEZ!!!

Alright, I guess I could have worded that a little better, for the record I do plan on keeping my wife around for a long time.

What kind of lies are you talking about?

I have a problem with using encap methods for residential customers.

I have customers with glue down carpet too,never seems to be a problem.
Of course I post bonnet those types of carpet in both homes and businesses.
And, I speed dry after cleaning.


What kind of lies? Where have you been?

Have you researched encapsulation cleaning? Do you know anything about it? I was skeptical at first too, but it has taken my skills to the next level. Google Releasit and call the guy in Florida who sells it. He will change your mind.
