Actichem Encap Pro

Professional Low-Moisture Encapsulation Carpet Cleaner

Actichem Encap Pro is a professional low-moisture carpet cleaning detergent developed for efficient encapsulation cleaning in commercial environments, particularly where low-pile carpets are predominant. Its balanced cleaning and encapsulation technology helps loosen and suspend soil before surrounding it with a polymer film that dries into a brittle structure for removal during subsequent vacuuming.

Designed for professional carpet maintenance, Encap Pro provides strong soil-release performance while using very little moisture. This allows carpets to dry quickly and helps minimise disruption in busy commercial environments where extended drying times can interfere with normal operations.

🧼 What This Product Does

Encap Pro combines grease-cutting cleaning action with encapsulation technology. As the carpet dries, loosened soil and detergent residues become bound within a brittle polymer structure that can be removed through subsequent dry vacuuming.

The low-moisture process eliminates the need for a traditional rinse or extraction step, making Encap Pro particularly practical for routine maintenance cleaning between periodic deep-extraction services. Actichem’s cleaning guides also identify applications involving food spills, beverages, body oils, general grime and oily contamination.

⚙️ Professional Low-Moisture Cleaning

For standard use, dilute 30 mL of Encap Pro per 1 L of clean water. Thoroughly vacuum the carpet first, then apply the solution evenly using a suitable sprayer or machine solution tank. Agitate the carpet with a low-speed scrubber, rotary or oscillating machine fitted with a suitable carpet brush or pad.

Allow the carpet to dry, typically around 40–60 minutes, before returning it to traffic. Once the encapsulated soil has dried, thorough vacuuming after approximately 24 hours removes the brittle polymer-bound soil and residues.

🏢 Ideal for Commercial Maintenance

Encap Pro is particularly useful where fast drying, reduced disruption and efficient routine maintenance are important. Actichem specifically highlights its suitability for commercial and low-pile carpet applications, including environments affected by food, beverage, body-oil and general oily soil contamination.

⚠️ Important

Always pre-test in an inconspicuous area for substrate sensitivity and dye stability before full application. Follow the manufacturer’s recommended dilution and cleaning procedure.
