What is low moisture carpet cleaning?
Probably every consumer today is aware of Hot Water Extraction (HWE), the so called “steam” cleaning method of cleaning carpet. Hot water extraction can do an excellent job of cleaning if the equipment is powerful enough and the technician is properly trained. The down side of hot water extraction is the soaked carpets and the hoses run from outside throughout your home. Probably the number one question every professional carpet cleaner is asked is “how long will it take for my carpet to dry”. Consumers have been programmed to believe that carpet cleaning means soaked carpet.
There is another option for consumers. An option that cleans just as well as hot water extraction and does not soak the carpet. Very Low Moisture (VLM) cleaning greatly reduces the amount of water used in the cleaning process. Instead of hundreds of gallons of water the VLM method uses much more agitation and different chemicals designed for low moisture cleaning. These chemicals are environmentally friendly, 96-98% bio-degradable, and safe for children and pets. These chemicals are not a soap. They encapsulate the dirt, reducing the surface tension between the dirt and the carpet fiber, allowing the dirt to be stripped away. The upside is that carpets are typically dry in about an hour and there are no hoses run through the front door and around your home.
