CarpetPro iCapsol RM 760

The product in detail

CarpetPro iCapsol RM 760 comes in water-soluble-film tablets for spray extraction. Kärcher describes technology that encapsulates remaining soil in residue that crystallizes during drying and is then vacuumed away. The page specifies a no-rinse method and Woolsafe certification, subject to textile care instructions.

The solution loosens soil and suction recovers some of it. The iCapsol technology traps remaining soil in residue that crystallizes as it dries and can then be vacuumed up.

3. Test colour and backing. Measure the amount of solution required.
4. Make the specified injection and recovery passes while limiting wetting.

Care and storage

Empty and rinse tanks and the circuit as directed by the extractor manual. Remove fibres from the tool. Keep traffic off the area while it dries and check for sticky residue.

Limits and things to check

Do not transfer dosing instructions between products. Detergent cannot make a textile suitable for wet cleaning. Drying also depends on backing, water loading and ventilation.
