Product Description
Karcher iCapsol BRS 43/500 C Deluxe
The Karcher iCapsol™ BRS 43/500 C Deluxe is a 17-inch low-moisture encapsulation carpet cleaner built for interim carpet maintenance in busy commercial spaces. It uses counter-rotating brushes and encapsulation chemistry to loosen soil, surround it, and allow it to dry into vacuumable crystals.
The Deluxe configuration includes a built-in 2-gallon spray tank, allowing solution to be applied directly from the machine during cleaning. This makes it a strong fit for offices, hotels, schools, retail spaces, healthcare facilities, and other carpeted areas where appearance and reduced downtime are important.
