Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning

Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning

Tagged: Absorbents, Air Circulation, Airflow, Carpet, Carpet Cleaning, Carpet Cleaning Machines, Carpet Terms, Dry Cleaning, Flooring, Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning, Professional Carpet Cleaning, Professional Cleaning Services, Vacuuming, Ventilation

Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning consists of methods or procedures that enable carpet fibers to dry to their natural state in two hours or less under average conditions of 65% relative humidity and 70 degrees F. This is accomplished by using less moisture to clean, absorbent media, high-efficiencyvacuums to extract water from carpet, and increasing the evaporation rate by lowering relative humidity and using air movers (high-powered fans that speed up the drying process and minimize downtime).
