​Carpet Cleaning

If you’re looking for information on how dry extraction cleaning works, please visit the Process page.  
There are many different methods of cleaning out there…  wet extraction, steam, rotary bonnet, dry chemical, encapsulation, and dry extraction just to name a few.  Xtrax chose HOST™ dry extraction cleaning for many reasons.  He’s why we think it’s better:

I love this carpet cleaning method. So dry and cleans very well and a quick overall process. The service and serviceman were excellent.

Residues and Re-Soiling Or…
​“Why won’t my carpet stay clean?”
Most methods of carpet cleaning rely on two steps… scrubbing a wet detergent into the carpet and vacuuming it out. Often times, too much of this detergent remains in the carpet leaving a soapy residue. Have you ever had carpets re-soil within six months after a cleaning? Did the traffic lanes in your home come back darker and darker? Chances are, too much detergent was left in your carpet, and the more you walked on it, the more soil it picked up from your shoes.

The HOST™ System is made up of 100% natural detergents and solvents that leave no sticky residue behind. An Xtrax clean will leave your carpets looking better for longer.
