Encapsulation cleaning, or “encapping” is a relatively new cleaning method in the industry, as compared to traditional steam cleaning.Encapping is a “very low moisture” (VLM) type of cleaning using a special encapsulating cleaner that features polymers to encapsulate and crystallize stains and dirt for immediate vacuuming. These polymers act like small sponges. The crystals absorb and hold dirt and soil to be vacuumed out, leaving no sticky residue and providing a deep clean. which also give it a very fast drying time
