There are two ways you can shampoo your carpet.  You can use the wet method or the dry method.  The wet method is where a machine puts down a liquid solution of water and shampoo on your carpet and scrubs it in.  Then it extracts part of the liquid back into the machine.  Most of the "steam vacs" on the market use this method, even though they don't actually use steam.  The liquid that is left can eventually affect your carpet by potentially causing mold and bacteria.  In some cases it causes your carpet to stretch.  Your padding can also rot because it can't dry properly.  Plus, the shampoo residue that is left in your carpet attracts dirt and your carpet can become dirtier quicker.

Since dry shampooing doesn't wet your carpet, it better protects your carpet and padding.  It makes your carpets stay cleaner longer since it does NOT leave a residue.  You can walk on your carpets while your waiting to vacuum up the dry shampoo.  These products are non-toxic and are safe for pets.  One of the best dry shampoo products on the market is from Lindhaus.  They also make outstanding vacuums.  The Lindhaus machine is about the only dry shampooer that you can purchase, and it's available in our Centers.  To download a brochure on the Lindhaus Dry Cleaning System, click here.
