How Dry Foam Carpet Cleaning Works

How Dry Foam Carpet Cleaning Works - Dry Shampoo

Dry foam cleaners do not soak carpeting down ensuring your carpeting is dry in less time than traditional steam carpet shampooers. The possibility of mold or mildew setting into your sub-flooring or carpet padding is eliminated.

Steps Used during Dry Foam Carpet Cleanings

Before a dry foam carpet cleaner is applied, vacuum the carpet thoroughly. Apply the preconditioning solution to the carpet and allow to sit for twenty minutes. Mix the dry foam carpet cleaner’s mix and add to the carpet cleaner/shampooer machine. Give the machine time to create foam.

Do one section of carpet at a time, usually no more than a 20-foot strip. Allow the buffers to work the foam into the carpeting and then extract it. Once you’ve reached the end of your strip, turn around and go back over that section of carpeting. In high traffic areas, you may need to go over the section horizontally and vertically to remove stains and ground in dirt.

Dry Foam Carpeting Cleanings vs. Steam Carpet Shampooers

Steam carpet shampoo machines and certain rug shampoos may cause certain types of carpeting to shrink or fade. Silk and wool carpets are especially susceptible to damage. Dry foam carpet cleaners are safe for most carpet fibers making this a safer choice.

Steam carpet shampooers require care during use. If you over saturate a rug or carpet with the carpet cleaner solution, you risk damage to your sub-flooring from mold and mildew. Dry foam carpet cleanings use far less water making it a better choice, especially in households where mold allergies are problems.

Dry foam carpet shampooers not only remove dirt trapped deep in carpet fibers, but it also proves effective at removing allergens, including pollen and animal dander. Best of all, dry foam cleaning solutions generally include stain repellents.
