An honest hard working man who takes great pride in his work and share it so others can learn. What an absolute LEGEND you are. Huge respect to you, sir.
I have been doing carpets for years and was told this is an improper way to clean a carpet. I was screamed at, thank you for proving me right once again my man.
This method is approved by the IICRC. Encapping is cheaper, faster, and allows for much quicker use of the carpet. The IICRC recommends this as maintenance cleaning. Its great for in-between maintenance with HWE, as HWE is more expensive, more time consuming, and requires a much longer dry time. Each method has its place and purpose. Cheers!
Moses, I have been looking for a carpet solution for my low speed buffer. You have answered my questions and helped another floorman up his game. Thank you - Subbed and Liked also. Todd - PerfectFloor Service
It should be noted that red pads cannot be used on light colored carpets because it will bleed and ruin them. There are bonnet pads specific for this type of cleaning or just use neutral color pads. Great job though.
Great video , sir!! Quick question Why do you use a red pad instead of a bonnet pad. Just asking because I’ve always used bonnets pads. But it is always good to learn something new.
Omg I have an obsession with cleaning floors. We have nothing in my area like that... as I’m in my tristate. We have a couple of Stanley Steamer companies here and a lot of their reputations are tainted with theft of homes bad businesses. I would love to start a business here! I’m so serious, I would put everything I had on the line with the bet that this would be successful here
Hey Man I appreciate this information. I was wondering do you suck up the detergent spray dirt mix with a shop vac or something after you scrubbed it with the machine? Thanks
This is excellent! May I ask, which 175 machine do you recommend? Also, you mentioned not to go with high speed. I'm new, can you please explain why? What would be a good use case for the high speed one? Do they have ones that have low and high speed? Thank you again!! 🙏🙏
Is there an actual brush type head for the floor buffer or would it be okay to use red pad then go back over it with a bonnet? Also you use a pre spray is there additional cleaners used or just the pre spray? Thanks
Encapsulating cleaning chemicals bond to soils and dry to a loose powdery residue. Once the carpets are completely dry you can pick it up with an ordinary vacuum. Nothing is removed by the buffer, just broken free from the carpet fibers
Actually theres pads that extract called bonnets , microfiber etc that pad is for cleaning vinyl ,it will be fine for commercial badly trafficked carpet like that though the weage is in a very tight elbow loop
@@poolboywillis1225 Bonnets do remove some soil, but encapsulation followed by vacuuming is far superior. Most carpet mills will not warranty carpet that has been bonnet cleaned, as testing has shown it doesn't remove sufficient soil to protect the fibers from abrasion. For light to moderate soil you can make a carpet look good with bonnets, and it's better than not cleaning at all, but encapsulation isn't really much more work and your carpet will last longer. You do want to do a hot water extraction every few encap cleanings though, to get rid of any build up residue.
@@jasexavier encapsulation formula is what is used with iur bonnets but we do have a hydramaster truckmount , really its up to the customer but we do use encaps, dcs spin vac and part Bee mainly during -
I would get chewed smooth out for doing this😂 and I'm not saying it doesn't work it's just I've never been taught this. I'm only familiar with the bonnet method
This is a good video, but this is what they call a quick fix. At some point the carpet will need to be extracted after this procedure with the low speed machine.
Everyone has different names for all these things. These are called buffers, scrubbers, swing machines, low speed machines, 175s, etc. High speed machines are usually called burnishers, but some people call them buffers too. It makes some sense since buffers in other industries are usually high speed, but it's fairly uncommon in floor care since 175s have been called buffers since before high speed machines were around.
Good luck getting that around in a large building. The King Cobra is the ultimate extractor because of all of its use cases, and it's half the price of the Titan.
@@heroinmom153 they make a wheel kit for the titan 575 now so you can bring it inside buildings and houses and stuff you need a couple people to help move it upstairs its kinda heavy
@@heroinmom153 lol im talking about an 800lb gas powered truck mount that is only meant from van or trailer use and bringing it inside peoples houses 🤣
Instead of a red pad, have you used a bonnet? I find the ones with the green scrub stripes work best, and for heavily soiled areas, more water, then an extraction with a heated extractor.

Hey are these the same machines that can resurface a marble floor?
@@dborulesyes, they make special drivers that you attach diamond abrasive plates to. Or you can rent grinders as well.
Thanks for tips boss! Did what you said and it turned out great.

My partner at work told me about this method. Thanks for posting this or I’d never know lol

Really great job man
Thak you Moises, thanks for dhare, you do good job.
Keep it up bro good work

Great video, where can I purchase the scrubber
The red pad will not ruined the carpet?
Moses do you ever bonnet the carpet with clean absorbent pads after scrubbing ?
See them fringes💪🏾
Is there an actual brush type head for the floor buffer or would it be okay to use red pad then go back over it with a bonnet? Also you use a pre spray is there additional cleaners used or just the pre spray?
Thanks
Thanks for the video
I thought the whole point of encap was to leave a residue on carpet, so you can vacuum it up?
What type of product do you use ?
So where does the dirt go, does the buffer extract aswell
no you have to rent a extractor or vacuum it up

What about the 13 inch what attachments do I need ?
New sub i do this a work but been slowly getting my own equipment ..
great work! what a good tool to.o!
What kind of detergent did you use
Check out Encap Store
Haha nice idea..
Hello, what buffer are you using.
Viper vn2015
No bonnet?
So you don't get the soap up with an extractor?
HI we use a pre spray that dosent require extraction 👍🏾
@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 thanks.
The red pad was to agitate...don't you need to use a bonnet to take out the soil?
not when you use an encapsulant....when the carpet dries, the remaining soil dries inside a crystal (encapsulated) that can be vacuumed up
Could you use a white pad on that carpet?
Yes white pads work also, I prefer the red ones though
@@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 thanks for responding. I have a job to do this week and I'll be using my 175 too.
@@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 The red pads won't dye/stain the carpet?
@@re-newitcarpetcleaning2155 will red pad bleed the carpet. For education purposes only
@@bad7206 hi, not at all 👍🏾
Thank You..

This is a good video, but this is what they call a quick fix. At some point the carpet will need to be extracted after this procedure with the low speed machine.
Just a light dusting he says!!😅😅 as he soaks the carpet. Just need a couple sprits' is all!! Not a saturation
That's a slow speed swing machine for scrubbing. Not a buffer. Buffer's run at 1500-2000 rpm. Scrubbers run at 175rpm.
no its a buffer you are talking about a high speed buffer or its burnisher highspeed are for gloss
You talking about a High speed burnisher polisher

That's not a buffer it's a scrubber ok a buffer runs on its tips with pads to polish wax etc..
Is Not good use polisher brush not pads to clean a carpet.
How to clean carpet with a buffer: step 1 throw away the buffer step 2 purchase titan 575
Good luck getting that around in a large building. The King Cobra is the ultimate extractor because of all of its use cases, and it's half the price of the Titan.
Plus, heat alone doesn't do much on heavily soiled and walked down surfaces. You need agitation in a lot of cases.

@@heroinmom153 i still bring in the 575 inside even if the truck is right outside I can do 10 to 20ft hose runs and get even more suction 🥴

Damn he's short ☺️🤣
What happens if you use a high buffer like 1600 rpm?
Instead of a red pad, have you used a bonnet? I find the ones with the green scrub stripes work best, and for heavily soiled areas, more water, then an extraction with a heated extractor.
That's how I do it...
