Hot Knife X-treme Encapsulation DetergentPowerful Crystallizing Cleaner for Grease, Oil, and Heavy Soil
A high-performance crystallizing encapsulation detergent designed to cut grease, emulsify oily soil, and clean carpet and upholstery without sticky residue.
Hot Knife X-treme is a powerful crystallizing encapsulation detergent formulated for professional carpet and upholstery cleaning. It delivers exceptional grease-cutting performance, helping penetrate, break up, and emulsify the oily film that binds dirt particles to carpet and upholstery fibers.
Designed for demanding low-moisture and encapsulation cleaning applications, Hot Knife X-treme is especially useful on oil-loving fibers such as olefin and polyester. It contains no butyl, alcohols, terpenes, or sticky residue, while remaining over 99.7% readily biodegradable with a light, pleasant scent.
Professional Performance
Advanced Grease Cutting with Crystallizing Encapsulation
Grease, oil, and oily film can bind soil tightly to carpet fibers, making routine cleaning more difficult. Hot Knife X-treme uses advanced surfactant technology to penetrate and emulsify oily soil so it can be released from the fiber and removed more effectively.
Its crystallizing encapsulation chemistry surrounds loosened soil as the carpet dries, forming a brittle residue that can be removed through post-vacuuming. This helps leave carpet cleaner without sticky residue that can attract soil after cleaning.
With a pH of 9.3 at 1:32 dilution, Hot Knife X-treme provides powerful cleaning while remaining pH safe for stain-resist carpet when used as directed.

Let customers speak for us
I bought my Pro35 a few months ago and have been using it regularly ever since. Before this, I was relying on an Oreck Orbiter for all my agitation work — but that feels like ancient history now. The Pro35 is on a completely different level. It’s a top-tier machine and I honestly wouldn’t want to work without it. Easy to move around and built like a tank. Picked up the brown brushes and used em for some hard-floor cleaning, and the results were awesome.
I got the L2 sprayer and it works way better than I expected. It sprays smooth and steady, and the wand feels strong, not cheap. The wand is good quality. The upholstery hook up works great. Big thing is it works with batteries I already had on hand and lasts. Tired of those cheap battery sprayers that die after 20 minutes. Overall love it.
Just received the SM421AC, and it looks fantastic! It’s really powerful. I used it to clean the backyard floor. Initially, I used the Black Burnishing Pad, but later realized that a brush works better on the concrete surface. Next, I plan to use it to wax the house floors. I hope it works just as well.
I ordered two mop frames and received the package within the expected shipping timeframe. Unfortunately, one of the frames arrived damaged. I reached out to customer service, and they responded right away—very professional and helpful. They quickly arranged for a replacement, which arrived just a few days later. While the initial issue was disappointing, the prompt and efficient customer service made all the difference. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the company and would feel confident ordering from them again.
This is the best cleaning product I have ever used. Many others products I have used leave a film or build up and there were not cheap products.. not Lamanator Plus. I use a lot of there products from cleaners to mop and mop cloths. I love them all.
The complete home kit allowed me to finally get my laminate wood floor clean and it now looks better than its original condition. The instructions were clear and helpful. The products worked better than expected! Absolutely thrilled with how my floor turned out. It is worth putting in the time and effort to restore your flooring!
Your product has always been great. Infact it's the only solution that brings out the shine in our floors. Easy to use and produce results.
Great product for getting that buildup up off the floor, and leaves behind a beautiful floor. I am a Professional Homecleaner and recommend this product who work with floors, and for anyone, really, interested in making your floor shine!
Without this product, our floors would have needed to be replaced!!!!
