Based on the latest technology in green surfactants and encapsulating polymers, Encapuclean Green DS suspends and releases soils from the carpet during cleaning.
Encapuclean Green DS employs a new exclusive, proprietary non-hygroscopic polymer that allows for even faster drying times than other encapsulation products. The polymer attaches to the soil in the carpet and dries to a brittle crust on the carpet fibre. When vacuumed, the dry brittle polymer fractures away, taking the attached soils with it.
Carpets cleaned with Encapuclean Green DS dry in less than an hour and prevents wicking, yellowing, and recurring stains that often plague commercial carpets. Subsequent vacuuming performance is enhanced with carpets actually getting cleaner with each vacuuming.
Encapuclean Green DS has been formulated in accordance with the latest environmental guidelines for green cleaning chemistry with the very latest in surfactant and encapsulating technology. It cleans with a fresh, "green approved" fragrance that your customers will love. In addition, its new ultra-concentrated formula (32:1 for normal soiling, 16:1 for heavy soiling) provides twice the coverage of conventional encapsulating cleaners.
Encapuclean Green DS can be safely and effectively used with a cylindrical counter-rotating brush, rotary brush or bonnet, oscillating, or orbital agitation machines for high-performance low moisture cleaning.
Summary of Encapuclean Green Benefits
Dries Faster
Encapuclean Green DS employs an exclusive, proprietary non-hygroscopic polymer that allows for even faster drying times. Encapuclean Green DS contains no alcohol or solvents to try and speed up drying. Its exclusive formula does not need them.
Stretches Farther
Double Strength (DS) means the formula is ultra-concentrated, stretching your square feet of cleaning per mixed gallon and your dollars simultaneously! Encapuclean Green DS requires only four ounces to a gallon of water for normal soiling.
Green Formula, Green Fragrance
Not just the cleaning formulation, but the fragrance is green, too. Encapuclean Green DS has a light fragrance and aroma that refreshes the room and lets your commercial customer know you have been there. Even better, this fragrance has been used in products passing the most stringent green certification programs.
Cleans Better
After all, is not cleaning effectiveness the most important measurement for your customer? Encapuclean Green DS was field-tested with successful commercial carpet cleaners for over a year, as they compared it side by side to the cleaning performance of other leading encapsulation products. It not only cleaned better, it maintained the improved appearance longer. It does not do you any good for the product to be "green" and "double strength", if the appearance improvement performance does not please your demanding customer.
Encapuclean Green DS has been lab and field-tested against the leading low moisture encapsulation cleaning solutions and has demonstrated its cleaning superiority, including Releas-it, Releas-it Encap DS, Vacaway Hot Knife, Prochem Procaps, Jon Don Matrix Double Strength Encapsulant, and Masterblend Mist and Brush 2.
Encapuclean Green DS works effectively and is compatible with your favourite method of agitation cylindrical rotary brush, Cimex®, oscillating and orbital, and bonnet.

"We at Shaw Industries believe that the use of Bridgepoint products as part of a proper maintenance process (or programme) will help insure that your carpet meets your highest expectations. We highly recommend the use of their low moisture system with a cylindrical brushing machine called Brush Pro for interim maintenance and have also found Bridgepoint products designed for restoration cleaning of your commercial carpets to be some of the best products in the industry."

pH and fibre compatibility
Bridgepoint publish a pH figure for most products in this range, and it is the single most useful number when deciding what to put on a floor.
| pH | Typical use | Fibre caution |
| 2.8 to 5.5 | Fibre set, encapsulating guards, acid rinses, protectors | Suits wool and natural fibre. Strongly acidic products can affect some dyes — test first. |
| 6.5 to 8 | Shampoos, fabric prespray, general cleaning | Broadly fibre safe including wool. |
| 9 to 10 | Encapsulants, powders, general prespray | Usually fine on synthetic. Check the label before use on wool. |
| 11 and above | Traffic lane cleaners, fire restoration, heavy degreasing | Synthetic only unless the label says otherwise. High alkalinity damages wool and can cause browning on natural fibre. |
Rinse to a neutral or slightly acidic finish. Alkaline residue left in the pile attracts soil and can cause the carpet to resoil faster than before it was cleaned. That is what an acid rinse is for, and why the pH of the rinse matters as much as the pH of the prespray.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this on wool?
Check the pH against the table above and read the label. Products at pH 11 and above are for synthetic fibre unless Bridgepoint state otherwise. Wool tolerates a much narrower pH band than nylon, and alkaline damage is not reversible.
Why does my carpet resoil quickly after cleaning?
Usually alkaline residue left in the pile. High pH cleaners work by breaking down soil, but anything left behind stays sticky. Rinsing to a neutral or slightly acidic finish is what prevents it.
Do I need to dilute exactly?
Yes. The dilution on the label is what the published pH refers to. Running a product stronger than specified moves the pH further from neutral, which increases both cleaning power and the risk to the fibre.
Is the documentation Australian?
