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.

Listed specifications

Values come from the supplier documentation consulted. Performance depends on conditions and configuration. The supplied reference’s container or nameplate and manual determine its use.

Surfaces and compatibility

For carpet and textiles that permit wet cleaning and the selected detergent. Check fibres, dyes, backing, adhesive and extractor attachments.

The manufacturer page lists serious eye irritation and possible respiratory irritation. Follow the Canadian SDS and supplied package label. Read the tablet-to-water dose from those instructions.

Preparation and use

Dissolve the tablets in the stated volume of water. Extract and recover the solution with approved equipment. Kärcher specifies a no-rinse method. Once fully dry, vacuum residue with a head suited to the fibre.

1. Vacuum thoroughly and treat spots with a compatible method.
2. Check dilution, maximum temperature and filling instructions on the label and machine manual.
3. Test colour and backing. Measure the amount of solution required.
4. Make the specified injection and recovery passes while limiting wetting.
5. Follow any rinsing, complete drying and final vacuuming requirements.

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.

Equipment, accessories and options

The page lists Puzzi 10/1 and Puzzi 30/4 among compatible machines. Plan for vacuuming after drying as well.
