Dry Carpet Cleaning Carpet Dry Cleaning relies on solvents instead of water based detergents. Also known in our industry as "bonnet cleaning," some people prefer the minimal moisture. Key Benefits Spot dry in as little as 20 minutes. Powers through grease and other soils that are water resistant. Enables retail stores, hotels, and other public places to clean while they are open. No hoses, nor the risk associated with them. Capabilities Because dry cleaning minimizes intrusion on a place of business, it allows for more frequent cleaning than may otherwise be possible. Because dry cleaning is done with a low r.p.m. upright machine (picture a scrubber) the work space occupied while cleaning is very small. This means that a client can continue with normal operations in 99% of their space even while cleaning is going on. Dry cleaning is quiet enough to be done during normal business hours, meaning you can make money while cleaning, instead of spending money on staying late. Dry cleaning can extend the amount of time between wet cleaning, resulting in a very real decrease in maintenance expense.
