Why Dry Carpet Cleaning?
MilliCare is a dry-anchored carpet cleaning process where professionals evaluate your carpet and determine exactly what type of service is needed. With a range of clean processes to choose from, you can rest assured your carpet will be cleaned using the most appropriate method for your situation. So you may ask, why dry carpet cleaning?
Facility and property managers constantly face a barrage of choices when it comes to cleaning their buildings’ carpets and textiles. One of many questions they encounter is, “What’s a more effective cleaning method, a hot water extraction method or a dry cleaning compound?”
When deciding what type of cleaning process will touch your floors, you should know the following;
Dry carpet cleaning solutions are composed of detergent or solvent and perhaps a small amount of water, and are typically sprinkled or worked into carpet to attract and absorb dirt and stains. The compound, or polymer, absorbs the dislodged soil and then is vacuumed away, leaving virtually no residue. When the dry carpet cleaning process is incorporated as part of a regular carpet and textile maintenance program, buildings often experience improved indoor air quality and a more aesthetically pleasing office environment.
While we have many tools at our disposal, at MilliCare we believe our proprietary dry system is the best way to keep your carpet clean and protect your investment. Once our polymer is brushed into your carpet, it finds and collects dirt, dust, allergens and other particles. The polymer and attached dirt are removed, leaving your carpet clean and dry.
MilliCare was the first dry system to achieve CRI deep cleaning certification, and for good reason. You can use our services with confidence, assured that dry carpet maintenance is the best choice for your space.
What are some other reasons that the dry polymer carpet cleaning solution method has taken off?
· Health concerns – More than ever before, people are concerned about indoor air
· quality and the presence of mold in their office buildings. The Environmental
· Protection Agency (EPA) calls indoor air quality one of the top five health risks of our time. Using a dry carpet compound removes pollutants and reduces the risk of mold because of lack of moisture used during the process. According to the Carpet and Rug Institute, carpet that is maintained in a clean, dry condition does not support or cause mold growth.
· Fiber residue – Other cleaning systems can leave a sticky, detergent residue on the carpet that actually attracts soil to the fibers, contributes to rapid resoiling
· and can lead to a shortened carpet life cycle. The more quickly the carpet becomes dirty, the more often you have to clean it, creating a vicious cycle. With dry powder cleaning systems, minimal residue is left behind, allowing the carpet to stay cleaner, longer.
· Time constraints and instant gratification – The days of the typical “9 to 5” workday are gone. Office buildings are now functional 24/7, which creates a challenge as to when a carpet cleaning service can come in to complete a job. With a dry carpet cleaning solution, technicians can work around any schedule, because the carpet is ready for use immediately after a cleaning, instead of waiting to allow the carpet to dry.
While more traditional carpet cleaning methods may be effective, dry carpet cleaning compounds offer distinct advantages for facility managers looking to clean their carpets and textiles in an efficient and effective way.
