Hot Water Extraction Done Right vs. Soak-and-Leave Cleaning

Compare the Difference

A OK Quick-Dry cleans with truck-mounted hot water extraction done right. Hot, softened water and our green-certified cleaning solution make dirt and grime release from the fibers of your carpet, while high-powered vacuum recovery pulls the water — and the soil with it — right back out as we clean. Because the water never sits in the carpet, carpets cleaned the Quick-Dry way are left damp to the touch, not soaked, and are dry in only 1 to 2 hours.

The trouble starts when the same idea is executed badly. Rental machines, cheap portable units and splash-and-dash operators douse your carpet in buckets of hot, soapy water, then lack the vacuum power to pull it all back out. That kind of cleaning may temporarily brighten your carpets, but it leaves behind a layer of sticky detergent residue which collects dirt quicker, in addition to leaving moisture trapped at the base of your carpet and in the pad. That excess moisture causes the carpets to take days to dry and allows for mold and bacteria to grow.

The method is not the problem — the execution is. Done right, Quick-Dry’s hot water extraction offers a healthier, more thorough carpet cleaning experience.
