CARPET CLEANING CHEMICALS
As the name suggests, Dry Chemical Carpet Cleaning is fairly dry. There is almost nothing wet involved. This method is great because it is quickly started, quickly finished, and quickly traversable again. It is good for virtually every type of carpet. It is usually best for high traffic places. But if used on its own, it should be used in places where children are unlikely to play on it, as some residue may remain.
The process of dry chem. cleaning is fairly simple. Where there is deep dirt and soil, a pre-conditioner is usually added to loosen the dirt so the chemicals can do their job properly, then the chemicals themselves are dusted into the carpet and then worked deeper with a brushing machine. To assure the mixture is fully worked into the carpet fiber, the brush is usually used a number of different times over the surface of the carpet in different directions. Next, a drying period takes place (usually no more than an hour, depending on the brand) and then the entire floor surface is vacuumed. This process should get almost all soils out of your carpet, but if not, the entire process can be repeated.
