One of the most common questions that customers ask when contemplating having their carpets cleaned is ..."how long will it take to dry"? No one likes to be without the use of their home for very long, and soggy carpets are a real nuisance.

In cleaning fabrics we are all aware that temperature, agitation, chemicals, and time each play a roll. We make these decisions each time we wash a load of laundry. Cleaning carpet works the same way. We can however change one or more of the four elements. In VLM carpet cleaning we use much less moisture and much more agitation. Also, the chemicals used are much different. We do not use a soap product. The cleaning solution is an encapsulating chemical that surrounds and binds to the dirt. This reduces the surface tension between the dirt and the carpet fiber allowing the dirt to be absorbed in a cotton pad. Any dirt that is left behind is still encapsulated and can be vacuumed up in subsequent vacuuming’s. The encapsulate is safe for children and pets and is environmentally responsible. Your carpets stay cleaner longer because the encapsulate will remove any sticky residue left over from prior cleanings.
