regarding the encapsulation method of carpet cleaning and found it well-presented and interesting. Wondering if anyone has tried ReleasIt products. I have not and would like to know if it would have better performance than Kirby, Aerus, and other dry shampoos that have been marketed for a longer time.
The poster has a series of related educational videos on carpet encapsulation. I was unaware that there's a difference between shampooing (use of a cleaning agent and water to make a lather to remove unwanted dirt from your carpet upon rinsing) and encapsulation (involving an acrylic polymer, surfactants, and other ingredients to grab the dirt and bond to it once it is dislodged from the carpet fibers).
