This carpet cleaning method uses a dry compound which contains detergent and/or solvents. This compound is then sprinkled onto the carpet and worked into the pile using a machines or carpet rake. The soil particles are encapsulated in the absorbent dry compound and are removed by vacuuming.

Due to the lack of water a powerful extraction method we feel that this type of cleaning is not recommended as the best way to maintain your carpets.
