Spot wicked back

[Living The Dream]

I was back at a house recently that I had previously cleaned the carpets and I noticed a spot had wicked back. I cleaned with bio break and rinsed with flex ice. I'm thinking of going back and encaping the spot. I have Encapuguard Green and Encapuclean O2. Does anyone have any other suggestions? @Scott W which one would you use?

 

[J Scott W]

Use Encapuclean Green as a spotter. Spray around the outside of the spot and use a towel to wipe across the surface of the spot from outside toward the center. Or you can just dampen the towel.

If there are enough spots to warranty bringing in a machine, I would use the Encpauclean O2 and a bonnet.

did it come back over night/next day?
or a few weeks/months later?

if the former, you didn't flush the spill/spot out well
(easy to happen because many of those spots/spills disappear after a minute or three pre-spray dwell)..especially on oli berber
and we just don't think to flush/rinse/dry stroke a little better in the spot .
toss pocket change coins down on those spots so you know where more attention is needed when you get there with the wand


if a recurring spot that appears weeks/months later, you can put pixie dust gunk on it as Scott suggests
or you can dispense with halfazz smoke n mirror hiding juices and attempt to do it right, by flush/rinsing all the foreign crud from base of fiber and top side of backing



.L.T.A.

It's been about a week since I cleaned it. I used my 360xl at 500 psi. I have a water claw that I recently acquired from a auction on here that I've been waiting to use.

water claw??

don't take offense, but it looks like it could possibly be from where the 360 sat for a minute and dribbled solution

do you recall a big spot there before cleaning?

Yeah there was definitely a huge spot there when I started. I think it's wine.

if that's the case, think I'd use peroxide
instead of gunking it up with polymer pixie dusk CRAP

or flushing all the way to base of fiber

500psi is pretty high for the 360xl..

Id touch it up with stain magic and if it comes back again I would just use a solvent protector to clean and seal the stain out.

Probably wicking up from the pad.

I know I don't usually go to 500 but this carpet needed to be flushed good.

Psi too high on the XL. Try 300.

For the spot encap then Pad-cap it or encap then cylindrical machine. Gone.

I like using Stain Zone .. spray n brush in or towel in then leave. If its a stubborn wicker then leave a clean damp terry towel over the wet stain with a phone book (in plastic) on it til it dries.

Encap and go. No biggie.

I used a spray bottle of pro oxy encap and then quit it solution from vac away. I only light mist it tho.

 

[Living The Dream]

Encapuclean O2 and cotton bonnet did the trick. Thanks for everyone's input!

 

[BIG WOOD]

What!!! No pictures???

 

[encapman]

Encap using minimal moisture and a good crystallizing detergent. Should take care of it for you.
