I’m not impressed

[Nomad74]

Used Green Dragon encap powder for the first time. I’m not impressed. I should have just used my normal Awesome encap or Angry Lemon or DS2.

Got a call back from the customer saying there is white chalkyness in places. Going back tomorrow night to reclean.

My fave so far is Saigers code red oxy encap. Otherwise, Harvard's oxy encap or Bridgepoint o2 or ds 2.

Oh shiate!

The green dragon threw up on it!

never used it, but pretty sure green dragon isn't an encap but multi purpose? Bonnet and HWE

"Ma'am remember when I told you it would encapsulate the dirt and you could vacuum it up?....well"

 

[Nomad74]

Yeah. I’m not telling the customer to vac it up. To me this is an unacceptable result. Never had this happen with my other encaps. The customer should not be required to do work after paying me for a cleaning. I’ll fix it tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I just need to vac it.

was it the first time you cleaned that office?

I wouldn't be impressed with that "cleaning" without the white residue...

No, I clean that office quarterly. The carpet needs replacing from all the wear. the landlord refuses.

I was going to say that but for all I know it was solid black when he started

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Like you said, DS2, punch as a pre spray. Cimex

Fix it correctly by rinsing it properly

Is GD a powder?

 

[AlienAgent]

You might be able to vacuum that out. Was it mixed up good? Maybe you had unmixed powder getting put down?

I don’t use Green Dragon or any of those VLM powders. Was always too afraid of something like this happening.

 

[Nomad74]

Is GD a powder?

Yes

How much time are you really saving with buffing that carpet vs setting up HWE? 15min?

Or is it a huge bldg that would require 400-500ft of hose? That I understand.

I can unload a Cimex, with half a tank of juice ready to go, encap 1000 ft2 and be loading back up in the time it takes me to set up and get the Little Giant lit.

Box truck, Cimex, lift gate. That combo is a commercial carpet money printing press.

Its the garbage can washing that takes up all the time.

 

[Mikey P]

Yes

Well, derf.


Magic Wand tried that stupid endeavor 15 years ago

Bring in the pile lifter..

Looks like foot steps to me.. Does it match your shoe prints?

Nope. I thought about that also. It’s definitely powder residue. Lesson learned.

from the Encrapstore website regarding GreenDragon

No Oxi..Green Dragon is not a traditional encap product and does not contain polymers. Instead, the product utilizes anti-redeposition agents that help repel soil from the fiber.


Google tells me antiredesposition agents are;

anti-redeposition agent

Encyclopedia article about anti-redeposition agent by The Free Dictionary

encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com

ANTIREDEPOSITION AGENT: An ingredient used in laundry detergents to help prevent soil from resettling on fabrics after it has been removed during washing.


I'm not a vury smart man..
so how would that be useful for bonnet cleaning?
...If you actually want soil to transfer to the bonnet?

[Meter Maid]

1 - GD dragon isn’t a stand-alone encap at all.

2 - If you just poured the powder into you tank, then that’s the problem. It has to be mixed up first.

3 - GD is similar to Procyon and a Carpet Details.
