Are you considering having your carpets cleaned? Probably so if you are reading this article. So which method are you going to choose? You have several methods to choose from and this makes it a difficult decision if you know nothing about them. Read this article and find out about one of those methods, dry powder carpet cleaning.

Dry powder carpet cleaning is a method that has become fairly popular. Although you may have never heard of it, it is a method that has been around for many years. The method is similar to other methods except for the method of extraction. The first step in the cleaning process is the thorough vacuuming of the carpet. Dry soil represents up to eighty percent of the contaminants in your carpet and it is easiest removed by a pre-vacuuming so this is an important step. After the carpet is vacuumed a pre-spray is lightly misted onto the carpet. The carpet cleaner then spreads out a slightly moist or dry cleaning compound onto the carpeting. Next using a machine with counter rotating nylon brushes the cleaner agitates the compound into the carpet. They go multiple directions to hit all sides of the carpet fiber. The powder in this process acts like tiny sponges scrubbing and absorbing the soil in your carpet. After they finish agitating the compound it is vacuumed from the carpet. The result is a carpet that is clean and dry. It is ready for immediate use making it one of the fastest drying methods of carpet cleaning. The advantage of this method is of course that it dries very quickly. This is important in commercial settings or if you just have a busy home where you can not keep your kids or family off of the carpet for very long. The disadvantage to this method is that it is not as through as other methods such as steam cleaning. If you have severely soiled carpets or pet stains you might be better off going with a steam cleaning method.

I hope this article will help you decide on which method of carpet cleaning to choose. Be sure to research all of the available methods and choose the one that works best for you and your particular situation. Good luck with your decision.
