Dry carpet cleaning

A deep clean you can walk on almost at once. Dry carpet cleaning uses organic powders instead of detergent and water, for carpets, rugs and upholstery.

How dry cleaning works

With traditional carpet cleaning you can expect damp carpet for several hours. Dry carpet cleaning uses much less water. Like a water-based clean, it removes dirt, allergens, dust mites and bacteria.

Instead of detergent and water it uses organic powders, which are excellent for stain removal, and their natural ingredients make it a greener choice. Specialized machines work the powder in and then remove it completely, taking the dirt and stains with it.

Because no residue is left in the carpet, it stays cleaner for longer and smells fresher.

Good for busy businesses

Commercial clients like dry cleaning for high-traffic areas because it is easier on their customers: an area being cleaned is typically out of service for around 30 minutes.

See our commercial floor cleaning for offices, churches and shops.

Beyond carpet

Upholstery dry cleaning

Many furniture makers recommend dry cleaning to protect the fabric. It is especially helpful in homes with pets, because our deodorizer reaches deep into the furniture to deal with odor-causing bacteria.

Rug dry cleaning

Rugs sit in high-traffic spots and soak up dirt, allergens and bacteria. Low-residue dry cleaning products restore them and keep them cleaner for longer, whatever the rug is made from.

Cliff was incredible! Due to my husbands health, we weren’t able to move everything out of the way! No problem, Cliff assisted with the rearranging and did an incredible job cleaning our carpets! I highly recommend him!
