A system quickly gaining ground and popularity in the commercial marketplace is encapsulation cleaning. There are many variations in equipment. Most machines use either cylindrical or rotary type brushes. The key principle here is agitating the solution in to the carpet using polymer technology, with the ability to surround and crystallize soils. The polymer technology coats the fiber, so soils will not be attracted by any sticky residues. After drying, the crystallized soil is HEPA-vacuumed from the carpet. Encapsulation quickly gives carpet a good appearance, which is critical in a commercial environment. This system saves time, material and labor.

Wicking is a problem of the past with encapsulation cleaning. The polymer is great at stopping wicking. Fans of encapsulation systems will tell you the carpet will stay cleaner longer from the polymer coating. There are also encapsulation products that contain carpet protector.
