Dave,
There's a Thermadry machine in the background, is that what you did it with?

Like i said... use it as a first step application and then an encap over the top... takes longer but on a really dirty carpet it comes up great!

Simon tried your spm fibre shampoo with a sodium per carbonate booster on a school last week with impressive results on some trashed school carpet using a Cimex 48. Will test it a
along side encaps over the next few jobs and make my mind up.

Simon I have the 38

I tried adding shampoo but it was too messy, foam spitting out  not good when your in an office.

Dave you only need a little, just enough to make a slight whitening of the carpet, it also crystallises as it dries.

Yep... Microsplitters work very quickly and need very little dwell time, they do like plenty of agitation so if you find yourself in a situation where you have heavy soil build up and HWE is out of the question, this method will help to remove some of the soil prior to using an encap.
I can confirm that i have mixed SPM and Fusion clean together and this worked well, but it is not strictly encapping...

Thanks Russ. I use dynamall as my encap at the moment. Will give it a try using spm first with the black brush and then spm using the activa bonnet. Cheers
