Dry compound carpet cleaning.


This is the most popular method of dry cleaning carpets,also referred as 
Host dry compound.This method is suitable for even most delicate carpet fibres.

How it works.

A carpet is thoroughly vacuumed.Then special stain removers are applied onto the 
stains.A special dry cleaning powder is sprinkled onto the carpet either by hand 
or with a special applicator.In heavily soiled areas a fine pre-spray may be used.
Then the powder is agitated by special machine with two counter rotating brushes 
located on it's base.The basic idea is:by agitating the powder deep down into the carpet,
the powder come into contact with the soil which,is dislodged from carpet and trapped 
into the powder.After agitation the powder is left for 20 minutes on the carpet,before 
being vacuumed up together with the adhered soil.There are a couple of types of brushes 
with soft,medium or hard bristles designed for different type carpets.It's very important that 
the correct brushes are selected to suit the carpet type.
The method is ideal where rooms are to be put back into service quickly,and it is the best 
for sisal carpets,coir carpets, sea-grass carpets ,jute carpets,silk carpets.
When used on normal (not water sensitive) carpets it is best to be in conjunction with 
periodic extraction cleaning to prevent a build up of residual medium deposits which are left behind.
Without periodic deep extraction cleaning the medium itself can become the source of resoiling problem.

20 minutes drying time                                     Not very efficient stain removal
