There has been a long standing perception by carpet cleaners throughout the world that the increasing popularity of ceramic tiles and natural stone over carpet has been eroding their profits. Whether that is justified or not the evolution of new technology in specialized cleaning equipment has not only eliminated that concern but indeed opened the door to even greater profits than ever before.

However that has changed abruptly with the latest developments in cleaning chemical technology, specifically in the area of detergent residue. The term 'Encapsulation' has become the industry's global buzz word and has already made a huge impact on our industry. Even so, too few people are well enough informed or even aware of the potential of this amazing technology and those that have jumped in without any training have had mixed results. The truth is that without specialised training unrealistic expectations frequently lead to disappointing results when in fact simply understanding the chemistry and correct method/s of application would solve all the issues encountered and technicians could then reap the rewards. This is a half day seminar that dispells all the hype and delivers easy, straight forward instructions to the uninitiated and experienced operators alike to develop a new and exciting alternative to the traditional methods of carpet cleaning and maintenance.
