KRAKEN Encapsulation Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner is a professional low-moisture carpet and upholstery cleaner designed for fast drying maintenance cleaning in commercial and residential environments. Using nano-enhanced encapsulation technology and a balanced pH 5 formulation, it surrounds and crystallises soil particles so they can be removed easily through agitation and routine vacuuming.

Developed for professional carpet cleaners, KRAKEN delivers powerful cleaning performance while using very low dilution rates from just 15ml per litre, helping reduce chemical usage and downtime.

Unlike traditional detergents that can leave sticky residues, KRAKEN forms a soil-resisting polymer barrier as it dries. Encapsulated soil becomes brittle and releases from the fibre during post-cleaning vacuuming, helping carpets stay cleaner for longer between maintenance cycles.

The solvent-free formulation is designed for low moisture cleaning systems, making it ideal for environments where carpets and upholstery must return to service quickly.

KRAKEN contains no PFAS or fluorinated compounds and uses surfactants that comply with UK biodegradability regulations.

Key Benefits

• Nano-enhanced encapsulation technology for efficient soil removal
• Effective from 15ml per litre dilution
• Typical drying times around 30 minutes
• Designed for low moisture carpet cleaning systems
• Leaves a soil-resisting polymer barrier
• Helps reduce rapid re-soiling between maintenance cleans
• Solvent-free formulation suitable for professional use

Effective On

KRAKEN performs exceptionally well on:

• Tea and coffee staining
• Soft drink spills
• Light organic soiling
• Traffic lane maintenance cleaning
• Routine carpet and upholstery maintenance

Designed for Low Moisture Cleaning Systems

KRAKEN is formulated to integrate easily with rotary and orbital low moisture cleaning machines, delivering fast drying results while minimising over-wetting.

Because the encapsulation polymer crystallises around soil particles as it dries, contamination releases from the fibre during routine vacuuming rather than remaining embedded in the carpet.

This allows carpets to return to service quickly while maintaining a cleaner appearance between maintenance cycles.

Ideal For

• Schools and colleges
• Offices and commercial buildings
• Hotels and event venues
• Domestic maintenance cleaning
• High-traffic areas requiring rapid turnaround

Dilution Guide

Pre-spray: 15ml per 1L of water

Lightly mist onto the carpet or upholstery surface, agitate using a rotary or orbital machine, then allow to dry. Encapsulated soil is removed during routine vacuuming.

For in-tank use, apply the same dilution ratio.

Always test on an inconspicuous area before full application.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an encapsulation carpet cleaner?
An encapsulation cleaner surrounds soil particles in a crystallising polymer. Once dry, the soil becomes brittle and is easily removed during vacuuming.

How fast does KRAKEN dry?
Typical drying times are around 30 minutes, depending on airflow, humidity and carpet type.

Does KRAKEN contain PFAS?
No. KRAKEN contains no PFAS or fluorinated compounds and is designed for responsible professional use.
