​Carpets absorb airborne pollutants including pollen, dust mites, mold spores and other allergens that negatively affect the indoor air quality of your business facility. Carpet fibres can also trap unpleasant odours from perfumes and other scented products, chemicals and VOCs. Fortunately, many allergens, toxins and disagreeable odours can be significantly reduced or eliminated with regular professional carpet cleaning.

​

Professional commercial carpet cleaners have the specialized equipment, cleaning products and expertise to remove deeply embedded grime, dust, pollutants and allergens from your commercial carpets, to keep them clean and looking their best, while also improving the air quality of your facility.

​

Prochem Bahamas specializes in restorative and routine carpet encapsulation cleaning. An integral component of this method is interim maintenance carpet cleaning designed to ensure pristine carpet cleanliness and appearance.

 

Benefits of Encapsulation Carpet Cleaning

The encapsulation carpet cleaning method makes it easier and more cost-effective for businesses to have their carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis, and in doing so, to extend the life of their carpet investments over the long term. The benefits of encapsulation carpet cleaning include:

​

• Restorative encapsulation carpet cleaning "brightens and restores" the appearance of carpets regardless of age.​

​

• Maintains carpet cleanliness for extended periods of time between interval cleanings. 

​

• It is a low-moisture carpet cleaning method, that is not only good for the environment by saving water, it also significantly shortens drying times (typically under 2 hours), which ensures less downtime for busy work environments

​

• Helps to mitigate spots between deep cleaning extractions

​

• Prolongs the usage life and attractiveness of your commercial carpeting, resulting in significant savings over the long term

​

• Because the production rate for carpet encapsulation cleaning is almost double that of other methods, the encapsulation method is a lower cost investment when combined with a routine cleaning schedule.

 

What Is Encapsulation Cleaning?

Encapsulation is and advanced cleaning technology that reduces allergens in carpets. It works by using specialized polymers to surround, or "encapsulate," soil, allergens, and pet dander, which are then removed through subsequent vacuuming.​​​​

​

With encapsulation cleaning, a specially formulated detergent is circulated through an encapsulation scrubbing machine and brushed into the carpet in multiple directions simultaneity. The cleaning solution surrounds each soil particle within the carpet fibers and crystallizes (‘encapsulates’) them.

 

Encapsulation Cleaning Low-Moisture Method

Because it requires minimal drying time, low-moisture encapsulation carpet cleaning allows carpets to be back in service much faster than other cleaning methods typically only 1-2 hours or less.

 

The Carpet Encapsulation Process

1. Pre-vacuuming

Thorough vacuuming must always be conducted prior to encapsulation cleaning to remove any loose, dry soil, and to prepare the carpet for the encapsulation cleaning process.

 

2. Pre-Treating Spots

While pre-treating isn't always necessary, carpets with significant spots and stains will require pre-treatment. During this stage, the cleaning technicians will spray the spots and allow the solution to dwell into the carpet for several minutes. They may also use a spotting tool to agitate stubborn spots prior to using the carpet encapsulation machine.

 

3. Encapsulation

The encapsulating cleaning solution is applied and worked into the carpet by agitation using a counter-rotating brush machine. The solution binds to any soils and allergens, encapsulates them and dries them into hardened crystals that is then removed by regular vacuuming.
