How is Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning different than steam or shampoo cleaning?

 Our dry extraction cleaning process uses Sponges that are a soft, natural product that is moistened

with water, detergent and a small amount of safe-to-use-solvent that is environmentally friendly.

 We've used other dry cleaning company's in the past and our carpets were still wet for

 3 hours or more. How are you different?

 Everyone wants to advertise that they are dry because of all the inherent problems with excess moisture.

Most companies that state that they "dry clean" carpets often have a low moisture method that usually

doesn't affect the pad underneath, however, it usually is unadvisable to walk on the carpets.  this can

be a major inconvenience. 

The Dry in no Time method involves very minimal moisture.  Our organic sponges do contain moisture,

however, the moisture content is approximately 1 teaspoon per square foot.  Except on carpets that

require extensive pretreatment due to excessive soiling, our cleaned carpets are ready to use immediately.                                                               

What assurance do you give so I know my carpet is clean?

If you are uncertain, we ask that you pick the worst area of the house to clean.  We will gladly clean

a 4 x 4 area and let you see the results.  In some cases, we may need to clean it a couple of times, but

you are the ultimate decision maker.  If it is clean to your satisfaction, we can continue.  If you are

not, we can simply leave and there is no cost to you!                                                                                                                                                                                                

How often should I have my carpets cleaned?

The Carpet and Rug Institute recommends that household carpets should be cleaned every 12-18

months.  Though many carpets may not visibly demonstrate the outward need for cleaning, pollutants

in the air, allergens, and oils usually go undetected but should be removed.                                                                                                                                       

Why do spots re-appear?

 Some "so-called" reappearing spots are just new ones in the same area.  We sometimes see that

around favorite chairs in the TV room or by Fido's favorite area in the house However, most

reappearing spots that come back within a day or two of a cleaning is as a result of a "wickback."

  usally the spot was dissolved and gravity pulled it down to it's lowest level, the backing.  When

it dries, through capillary action, the spot moves up the carpet yarn back up to the

surface.  Thus, with most wet cleaning methods, reappearing spots can be an often occurrence. 

Sometimes a reappearing spot is caused by the use of usually an alkaline spotter that was not

properly rinsed out. The residue left behind can attract soil like a magnet. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  It's rare that new spots ever come back immediately with our dry cleaning method. 

But if they do,

SO DO WE!!   

The longer time in-between cleanings, the more difficult the challenge to get the

carpet back to original. 

Thus, a more frequent cleaning is recommended
