Low-moisture systems offer a convenient and efficient method for carpet maintenance. These systems utilize minimal water and specialized cleaning compounds, often in powder or crystal form, to lift and encapsulate dirt. The compound, worked into the carpet fibers with a motorized brush, attracts and binds soil particles. After a short dwell time, the compound, along with the trapped dirt, is extracted using a vacuum, leaving carpets clean and dry within a short period.
This approach offers several advantages compared to traditional wet cleaning methods. Significantly reduced drying times minimize disruption and the risk of mold and mildew growth. The process also tends to be less aggressive on carpet fibers, potentially extending their lifespan. Furthermore, the reduced water usage aligns with sustainable practices and conserves resources. This method has gained popularity as a preferred choice for both residential and commercial settings due to its speed, convenience, and eco-friendliness.
