SETTING NEW STANDARDS
Howard O’Brien, MD Traffik UK Ltd, explains how the
N.Cap carpet cleaning system can help save costs and protect carpets from bacterial infection, medical spillage and heavy footfall in care environments.
In the current economic climate budgets across the whole of the healthcare sector are under scrutiny especially in nursing and care homes. This is true in both the private and public sector, where maximising room occupation and the need for a comfortable, safe environment is crucial.
Carpets are essential in these types of establishments, giving bedrooms, social areas and entrances a welcoming, homely feel and providing a comfortable environment. They are therefore an expensive asset which needs to be maintained and cleaned effectively to ensure longevity and their appearance.
Before
All carpet manufacturers produce products that can be cleaned using a wide range of machines and chemicals as well as options such as dry extraction or water-based systems. However, this presents its own set of problems because, with such an array of machines and system options, it is difficult to maintain a consistent standard of cleanliness that ensures the look, condition and longevity of the carpet in line with the manufacturers’ expectations.
There are a number of contractors in the carpet cleaning industry delivering a very varied standard of work which doesn’t always leave the client happy with the appearance of their carpet and which can often significantly reduce the life expectancy. Added to this, in environmentally-sensitive areas such as nursing and care homes, protecting the carpet from bacterial infection, heavy footfall and a range of medical stains and damage requires both specialist knowledge and, importantly, the right equipment.
N.Cap is a carpet cleaning system that can supply a simple, straightforward solution for your in-house teams to provide your homes with a consistent cleaning result. Not only does it set and adhere to the highest cleaning standards but, is also endorsed and recommended by Europe’s leading carpet manufacturers.

Crystal Dry encapsulation is the chemical technology used by the Oztek, oscillating carpet cleaning system and The Trio brush carpet cleaning system - machines that deliver carpet cleaning to a new and unrivalled standard. Encapsulation is a technology that has evolved over time and is now starting to be recognised by the industry as a real alternative to traditional methods.
Both the Oztek and Trio systems use Crystal Dry as the encapsulation chemical as it leaves no residue. Toucan ECA is a chemical-free solution for clients who want to remove chemicals from their carpet cleaning process – delivered by the Oztek for cleaning and by the Trio for disinfecting.
The system brings together four advanced carpet cleaning systems under one all-encompassing brand - a collective of machinery and cleaning products that will deliver a high standard of cleaning consistently for contractors and in-house teams alike. N-CAP utilises the efficacy of both encapsulation carpet cleaning technology and ECA water systems to offer a comprehensive clean with either chemical or chemical free options — a proven system that carries the endorsement of Europe’s leading carpet manufacturers.
Using the combined elements of the
N.CAP system means that Traffik can now reduce the need for and cost of replacing carpet which is currently replaced far too early — carpets should last 15 to 20 years. We can, in most cases, restore carpet you may believe 'impossible' to clean and provide solutions to reduce and eliminate odour issues providing bright, fresh rooms and a restored carpet. We can clean and maintain carpets using only ECA water a water and salt solution with no added chemicals that provides proven disinfectant and cleaning properties and finally, we can provide a service or equipment for an in-house maintenance programme that will ensure the highest standards of cleanliness are always met.
