At Kiwi Cleaning Co., we have often observed that carpets cleaned by other companies using "steam clean" or "wet extraction" methods tend to remain damp. In contrast, when we utilize encapsulation technology, we achieve cleaner carpets that maintain their appearance for a longer period. Our proprietary Poly Bloc Technology enhances this cleaning process, providing superior results in an eco-friendly manner for both homes and offices. After conducting thorough research, we decided to implement encapsulation technology to better serve our customers’ needs.

One of our primary goals at Kiwi is to educate our customers on why we recommend a customized treatment plan for their floors. We prefer polymer-based cleaning technology over harsher methods used in wet environments because we want our clients to enjoy the healthiest and happiest indoor spaces.

Below is our comprehensive research on the differences between encapsulation and traditional cleaning methods.ation and wet extraction.

POLY BLOC TECH PROTECTS

Mold and Mildew

When using a wet extraction method, if a carpet remains damp for more than 24 to 48 hours, it can create conditions that promote the growth of mold and mildew. This moisture can also seep into the carpet padding and subfloor, making them more difficult to dry. Mold can negatively affect indoor air quality, potentially leading to respiratory issues, allergies, and infections. However, with Kiwi's Poly Bloc, drying times are reduced to an hour or less, effectively preventing the growth of mildew and mold under such conditions.

Damage to Flooring

Excess moisture that seeps into the subfloor can cause significant damage, especially to wooden floors. Poly Bloc effectively prevents moisture from penetrating the fibers.

Carpet Damage

Excessive moisture during extraction can cause carpet shrinkage, delamination, or color loss. Poly Bloc crystallized polymers assist in detaching debris from the fibers, restoring their fresh appearance and feel.

Rapid Re-soiling

Wet extraction utilizes detergents, which can leave behind residues that become sticky and attract dirt. This can lead to carpets getting dirty more quickly than usual. However, with Poly Bloc, crystallization and encapsulation remove any detergent residues from the fibers. Keep your carpets safe from chemicals and soiling.Wet extraction methods often use detergents that can leave residues, causing carpets to become sticky and attract dirt. This can lead to carpets getting dirty more quickly than usual. However, with Poly Bloc, the processes of crystallization and encapsulation effectively remove any detergent residues from the fibers. This helps keep your carpets safe from chemicals and reduces soiling.

Wicking of Stains

Many of our clients have expressed concerns about deeper stains that can "wick" or reappear as the carpet dries after using a wet extraction service, often requiring additional cleaning. With Poly Bloc, we can effectively tackle the toughest stains using our powerful polymer solution, eliminating them completely without any wicking or resurfacing.

Chemical Exposure

Wet extraction methods in carpet cleaning often involve conventional chemicals that may include harsh substances such as perchloroethylene or sodium hydroxide. Contact with these chemicals can lead sWet extraction methods used in carpet cleaning typically involve conventional chemicals, which may include harsh substances like perchloroethylene or sodium hydroxide. Contact with these chemicals can cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, and other health concerns. Although there are eco-friendly alternatives available, it is important to note that stronger chemicals still pose risk.
