Actichem Encap Plus - Low-Moisture Encapsulation Carpet Cleaner (5L)

Revolutionize your commercial carpet maintenance with Actichem Encap Plus. Traditional hot water extraction is highly effective but involves soaking the carpet, leading to extended drying times, potential wicking of deep stains, and significant facility downtime. This premium low-moisture carpet cleaning solution utilizes highly advanced micro-crystallizing encapsulation technology. It is specifically engineered to deliver rapid, professional cleaning results while drastically reducing moisture usage, allowing high-traffic areas to be walked on almost immediately.

The Encap Plus formula works by surrounding and breaking down oily soils and embedded dirt within the carpet fibers. As the light moisture dries, the chemical forms a brittle, non-sticky microscopic crystal that traps the dirt inside. These crystals are then effortlessly extracted during the facility's routine daily vacuuming. Completely eliminating the sticky detergent residues that cause rapid re-soiling, this 5-Litre encapsulation carpet shampoo is the definitive maintenance solution for 24/7 commercial environments, hotels, and corporate offices.

Ideal For:

  • 24/7 Commercial Facilities: The ultimate cleaning method for airports, casinos, and hospitals where closing off large carpeted areas for 12 hours of drying time is logistically impossible.
  • Hotel & Office Maintenance: Provides a highly efficient 'interim' cleaning step that keeps high-traffic lobby and corridor carpets looking freshly groomed year-round, delaying the need for disruptive wet extraction.
  • Preventing Carpet Wicking: Low-moisture cleaning stops deep, underlying stains from traveling up the wet carpet fiber and reappearing on the surface as the carpet dries.

Key Features & Operational Benefits:

  • Micro-Crystallizing Technology: Actively traps suspended soils and oils into a dry, brittle crystal. It leaves absolutely no sticky detergent residue behind, ensuring the carpet stays cleaner for significantly longer.
  • Ultra-Fast Drying Time: Because the process utilizes minimal water, commercial carpets are typically dry and ready for heavy foot traffic in under 45 minutes.
  • Anti-Resoiling Performance: The encapsulation chemistry actively repels new dirt and prevents soil adhesion, drastically improving the visual longevity of the carpet between maintenance cycles.
  • Machine Versatility: Designed for seamless application using specialized contra-rotating cylindrical brush machines (CRB), rotary scrubbers with soft pads, or simple pump-up spray applicators.
  • Light Citrus Fragrance: Deodorizes the carpet during the cleaning process, leaving a clean, highly professional scent without overpowering the room with heavy chemical odors.

What is 'Encapsulation' carpet cleaning?

Encapsulation is a low-moisture cleaning method. You scrub a specialized chemical into the carpet which dissolves the dirt. As it dries (very quickly), the chemical turns the dirt into a dry, hard microscopic crystal. The next time the cleaner vacuums the floor, those dirt crystals are simply sucked away.

How is this better than traditional hot water extraction (steam cleaning)?

Extraction soaks the carpet, requiring hours or days to dry, which can cause bad odors or cause deep stains to 'wick' back to the surface. Encapsulation uses very little water, meaning the carpet is dry and ready to walk on in under an hour, making it perfect for busy commercial buildings.

Does it leave a sticky residue?

No. That is the primary benefit of Encap Plus. Traditional carpet shampoos leave a sticky soap residue that immediately attracts new dirt (rapid re-soiling). Encap Plus dries completely brittle and non-tacky, keeping the carpet cleaner for longer.

What equipment do I need to use this product?

It is best applied using a specialized encapsulation machine with contra-rotating brushes (CRB), or a standard rotary floor polisher equipped with a soft carpet bonnet pad. It can also be applied via a pump-up sprayer and agitated manually for small areas.

How do I dilute Encap Plus?

The typical dilution ratio is between 1:10 and 1:32, depending heavily on the severity of the soil level and the specific type of application equipment you are using.

Is it safe to use on wool carpets?

Yes. The formulation is highly compatible and safe for use on delicate natural wool fibers, as well as commercial nylon and synthetic carpet blends.

Do I need to vacuum the carpet immediately after cleaning?

No. You must wait for the carpet to dry completely so the chemical can crystallize the dirt. Once dry, the encapsulated soil is removed during the facility's normal routine daily vacuuming schedule.

Does it have a strong chemical smell?

No, it features a light, pleasant citrus fragrance that leaves the room smelling fresh and professionally cleaned without overwhelming the occupants.

Do you offer trade pricing for commercial carpet cleaners?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides volume pricing and trade accounts for professional carpet cleaning contractors, hotel housekeeping teams, and facility managers. Contact us to establish your account.
