Steam cleaning  involves applying a solution of hot water and a mild detergent/deodorizer at high pressure to break loose the dirt. The dirty water is then extracted and put in a separate tank. The carpet takes between 6-24 hours to dry.  The time depends upon the amount of air flow, the humidity level, and the density of the carpet.

Dry Cleaning  involves the application of a solvent-based cleaning product to the carpet. This is then removed with a large floor buffer with a white cotton bonnet or extracted using water (solvent extraction). One advantage of dry cleaning  with the buffer is that carpet usually dries in 1-3 hours.  However, the solvent extraction may be recommended instead of the bonnet method for carpets that are more heavily soiled. Please consult your technician if you have any questions about these two different forms of dry cleaning. Note: Pro Carpet will only Dry Clean your carpet!
