Have used Capture but not Folex.

Capture is Milliken's dry cleaning compound. They have a prespray that you can use with it for traffic lanes. Scrub in with a CRB or brush, let sit for a half hour then vacuum. I worked with a Millicare franchisee on a few jobs. They use if for commercial carpet maintenance. I would think it would be good for small jobs that had to get back into service quickly too.

It does work but I prefer the liquid encap products better.

Folex has been in my arsenal for a couple years now, works great on microfibre furniture when you don't want to overwet, works on a multitude of stains and doesn't require rinsing.

Folex is great. If I do not give a spotter out to a customer I refer them to Folex.

You probably could use it but why? So many better encap items to slect from for total cleaning, granted Folex is cheaper but thats not turning point for me I'd rather depend on my tried and true chems.

Folex leaves behind the same residues like resolve does. it is just cheaper.
But guys come on......!!! your in home depot.. how many of you guys bought some of the chemdry spotter??
I keep quite a bit of them on hand.. and sell them to customers for $5 bucks.. In their surprise they had to pay $15 from the chemdry guy.. OWNED!!!!!  :lol:
I bought these cool rubber band bracelets there are about 1 inch wide and has my name on it along with phone number.. then I wrap it onto the cd spotter I have had more repeat business doing this than jondon spotter that look so darn generic.. etc...

I've used it when in a pinch, and ran out of my normal stuff. Works good, but I noticed that it can set stains in , so I stoped useing it.

For the all time best over the counter cheap spotter ,  you can thank Terry Brevik who descoverd it and made it known to others. Fels
