Our Two Game-Changing Carpet Cleaning Methods
1. HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning
- No Water. No Downtime.

- Dry time: 10 minutes
- Certifications: Green Seal, WoolSafe, USDA BioPreferred
Encapsulation Carpet Cleaning
- Clean Faster. Stay Cleaner. Longer.

- Best for: Office buildings, coworking spaces, retail stores, restaurants, hallways, lobbies, common areas, regular maintenance.
- Dry time: 30–60 minutes
