Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I use the carpet after dry cleaning?
Carpets cleaned with the encapsulation method are typically dry and ready for use within 30–90 minutes, making it ideal for offices, commercial spaces, and high-rise apartments.
Is dry cleaning as effective as steam cleaning?
Dry cleaning excels for maintenance cleans and light-to-moderate soiling. For deep soil, set stains, or pet odour penetration into the underlay, steam cleaning delivers more thorough results. We advise during the pre-inspection.
Does dry carpet cleaning leave residue?
Encapsulation polymers wrap soil particles so they can be vacuumed away. A final vacuum pass removes both residue and encapsulated soil, leaving minimal chemical behind.
Which carpet types suit dry cleaning best?
Low-pile commercial carpet tiles, loop piles, and carpets in areas with restricted water access are well suited to the dry method. We assess each carpet before recommending a method.
