THE ENCAPSULATION CLEANING PROCESS

Freedom Carpet Cleaning - Commercial Encapsulation Cleaning. The Future is Here...

Encapsulation fixes common commercial carpet cleaning problems
It eliminates recurring spill stains and wicking. The crystallizing polymer encapsulates soil so it can be extracted with routine vacuuming. There is no sticky residue so it can't attract soil. What you'll see is incredibly bright and clean carpet, day-in day-out.

How soil affects carpet
Most dry soil in a commercial setting can be readily removed by routine dry vacuuming. It's the oily and sticky soils that attract and hold dry soil to the surface. The result is a dull, gray, and ugly appearance.

Encapsulation chemistry cleans better and helps carpet stay clean longer
The first step in effectively cleaning any carpet is to counteract sticky soils. The encapsulation chemistry surrounds each soil particle and crystallizes so it can't attract other soil. The encapsulated particles release from the fiber and are easily extracted with normal vacuuming. And since there's no dirt attracting residue left behind, the carpet stays clean longer.

Proven technology within the commercial carpet industry
A number of the largest commercial carpet manufacturers in the country are recommending and/or using various forms of encapsulation cleaning to maintain their commercial floor coverings.

Encapsulation chemicals have detergency just like the typical chemicals that you use right now. So if you think encapsulation cleaning replaces detergency and surfactancy, don;t worry about it.

The main difference is in the crystal polymers found in encapsulation chemicals.

These polymers in this detergent mixture are like the "second wave" in an army attack.

After the detergents have done their work (attacking, separating soil from fibers, etc.) the crystallizing polymers surround or encapsulate the detergent in solution and the soils that are now suspended or emulsified.

Here are two illustrations that help explain the process:

As the entire mixture dried, the encapsulation polymers dry to a crystal.
This crystal is not sticky; instead, it allows easy removal with subsequent vacuuming.

Why is crystallization so important?
The product employs an innovative polymer technology to form a distinct crystal when it dries. The crystal is the vehicle that enables a good encapsulator to capture soil so it can be removed through post-vacuuming, Although some products may claim to "encapsulate" on the label and they may get the carpet to look good initially, (it's easy to get a carpet to look cleaner) the real concern should be whether or not the encapsulated soil can be removed with post-vacuuming.
