What is Dry Carpet Cleaning?

Dry cleaning results from complete control of moisture. All cleaning systems require some amount of moisture. How that moisture is controlled determines whether the system is wet extraction or dry extraction. BestDry uses, on average, about ten ounces of moisture per 50 square feet. Tiny sponges that are gently brushed through all your carpet fibers cleaning millions of vertical surfaces deliver this moisture. BestDry's brushes move vertically through the pile, lifting and fluffing as they clean. The sponges emulsify and absorb the dirt and are then vacuumed away leaving your carpet clean, dry and without dirt attracting residue.  more

The Chem-Dry® method is a proprietary method that employs some elements of these three techniques. Bonnet cleaning consists of a cleaning agent that is mixed with carbonated water. The resulting mixture is then misted onto the carpet. An electric, rotating buffer is then used to scrub the carpet. The carbonation of the cleaning mixture aids in lifting particulate matter to the surface of the carpet fibers. The major drawback of this method, as it true of other dry carpet cleaning methods, is that it provides only a surface cleaning. Dry foam carpet cleaning is quite similar to standard rug shampooing. Like bonnet cleaning, dry foam cleaning requires a great deal of ...  more
