carpet dry cleaning, the carpets are firstly pre-vacuumed to remove the dry soil .
A pre-vacuum should be performed before steam cleaning as well as when dry soils
become wet they turn to mud and are harder to extract. The carpet is then treated
with a carpet dry cleaning solution which is a combination of dry cleaning solvents
carried in water. The carpet dry cleaning solution breaks down the oily residue in the
carpet which holds the dirt to the carpet fibres so that the soils and stains can be
easily removed. Cotton absorbent pads are immersed in hot water with a
conditioning rinse and placed on the carpet under a rotary machine (like a modified
high speed floor polisher). The pads are spun around on the carpet at high speed and
the dirt is released from the carpet on the pads and the pads are continually changed
in the cleaning process.

Carpet cleaning is an essential part of the regular cleaning services at the domestic
and commercial sites. Generally, carpet cleaning services are done through two
methods- carpet dry cleaning and carpet steam cleaning.

Now, let us talk about what is the main difference between the carpet dry cleaning
and carpet steam cleaning.

Carpet dry cleaning is generally performed to remove the dry soli from the carpets.
This is a kind of pre-vacuuming before the steam cleaning, otherwise, due to the
steam, the dust will stick to the surface or deep layers of the carpets.

Both methods are equally effective however we will highlight the important
difference so that you can make an informed decision.

Steam cleaning is nothing but hot water extraction i.e. inserting hot water
at high pressure and extracting the water along with dirt and grime.

Carpet dry cleaning involves pre-vacuum followed by spraying of dry


cleaning solution and finally rinsing with cotton absorbent pads at high
pressure.

Steam cleaning takes approx. 6 to 24 hours to dry, or in some cases a few


days; whereas Carpet dry cleaning requires approx. 2 hours to dry
completely.

The type of carpet cleaning is best ascertained by experts who will inspect the carpet
before giving you a final quote. In some cases both methods are applied.

Ask New Question

Like steam cleaning, dry cleaning also has a slightly misleading name. Although dry
cleaning uses more chemicals than water, you usually have to use a little bit of
moisture to thoroughly remove the chemicals from the carpet.

To dry-clean your carpets, you or a cleaning company will place dry, powdered
cleaning chemicals on your carpet. The chemicals should seep into the carpet fibers
and break apart debris and hard-to-remove stains. A mild spray of water helps the
chemicals break down the particles even more thoroughly. You can then vacuum up
the particles that have bonded with the chemicals.

Pros of Dry Cleaning

Unlike steam cleaning, dry cleaning lets you walk on your carpets soon after the
process is complete. Many business owners choose dry cleaning over steam cleaning
because it doesn’t interrupt business operations or require as much time to perform.

Dry cleaning also offers you a fairly thorough clean. The rigorous chemicals can
dismantle most stains, including difficult ones that some steam cleaners can’t
combat.
