Title: Cimex/Truvox encapsulation cleaning
Post by: PaulKing on May 17, 2008, 09:38:11 pm
Thinking of using my cimex machine for encapsulation cleaning, any one do it already and what brushes or pads & chemicals do you recommend

Cimex supply little white pads and they have their own encap product, wich is very exensive, you can use brushes or bonnets and from report I understand the Chemspec product is possibly as good as it gets, but I think Prochem and thers have relatively new products.

My experiments have been with bonnets, but the Americans have for better cotton bonnets which I understand get the best results.

i use cimexs own white brushes, I've also use their solution. I've also used bridgepoints encapsulation chemical and some stuff I bought from solutions, all of them gave impressive results.

but none of them removed any dirt from the carpet it was all cosmetic, I've cut open the vacuum bag after post vacuuming, it contained nothing,

have you seen the Cimexs brushes on eBay?

Paul thanks for the kind offer but I'll have to decline,  I've got 2  and they hardly get used, so any bits would just collect dust in my already overflowing shed

thanks mike
