Encap Fine Fabric
Encapsulation upholstery cleaner
Encap Fine Fabric is a versatile encapsulation cleaner designed for delicate upholstery, rugs, and fine fabrics. Its advanced technology lifts stains and soils while protecting fibres, ensuring that even the most sensitive materials look fresh and vibrant. With a mildly acidic pH to stabilize dyes and prevent browning, Encap Fine Fabric leaves behind a brittle, crystallised residue that encapsulates soils and can be easily vacuumed away, leaving surfaces chemical-free and cleaner for longer. It offers multiple cleaning methods—encapsulation, low moisture, and wet cleaning—providing a comprehensive solution for every cleaning challenge.

What is the difference between Encap Fine Fabric and a carpet encapsulating cleaner?
Encap Fine Fabric shares a number of similarities with a carpet encapsulating cleaner but with a few critical differences;

- Specialty stain removal agents are included to assist with the removal of beverage, and tannin staining.
How to use
