A Continuous Clean With Genesan's Encapture 24/7
The Future of Carpet Care is Here
Genesan is known for their quality, safe, and sustainable cleaning chemicals and are continuing to expand their offerings for a better, more efficient clean that is safe for all. They have recently released a new probiotic carpet cleaner, spotter, and odor neutralizer, called Encapture 24/7. Today, we will explain how probiotics work, how they can benefit your facility’s level of clean, and how to use Encapture 24/7.
More than just enzymes
Probiotics are naturally occuring good bacteria, and are known for their benefits to our gut health (think yogurt). Probiotics are living organisms on a microscopic level, while enzymes are what the probiotics, or cultures, produce. Enzymes are simply the by-product of probiotics; they are not alive and cannot reproduce. When you use an enzyme cleaner, those enzymes are only breaking down soils and odor causing bacteria once. There is no continuous cleaning with enzyme cleaners.
How Genesan’s probiotics work
Encapture 24/7 is a cleaner with living cultures that not only cleans, but continuously clean and control odor for days. This leaves surfaces cleaner, safer, healthier, and free from odor. Genesan’s Encapture 24/7 contain cultures that reproduce faster to occupy all of the surface space, preventing filth and odor causing bacteria to grow. The microscopic cultures remain in your carpet for up to 72 hours and continually produce enzymes that break down soil and odor. Once enzymes break down the molecules, the probiotics go to work; digesting the broken down soil and repeating the process until the food supply (soil and bacteria) is gone. Encapture’s probiotics literally continue to clean after you’re done.
What makes Genesan’s probiotics different?
Genesan’s probiotics multiply much faster and are more stable than normal bacteria. They overwhelm the surface quickly and are scientifically proven to continuously clean the surface for 72 hours. This technology is patented and called PolVita. The process is completely efficient and sustainable- the only byproducts are water and carbon dioxide.

Why use probiotic cleaners? Is it safe?
We’ve already explained how probiotic cleaners continuously work around the clock and how they leave the surfaces cleaner, healthier, and safer throughout the entire day. Encapture 24/7 works all the time (up to 72 hours), assisting your staff’s hard work and labor hours and providing an increase of productivity by 30%!
In regard to safety… Is yogurt safe? Patented PolVita technology uses probiotics that are similar to yogurt and rated by the EPA as Class One Food Safe. (Click HERE to visit the EPA website for more information) Encapture 24/7 is completely non-toxic, can be sprayed, and are classified safe with Triple Zero’s on the HMIS rating. (Click HERE to see the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences’ PDF on the HMIS scale) In a nutshell, when compared to conventional cleaners, probiotic cleaners are safer and go back into the environment without any waste.
A Common Misconception: “Probiotic cleaners are more expensive”
While the common perception is that “green cleaning” products are more expensive, that just isn’t the case with many products today and this includes Encapture 24/7. In fact, it costs less than conventional cleaners because probiotics are less expensive than traditional raw materials. In regard to labor costs, probiotics make cleaning easier and account for a 30% more productive clean.
