VLM Cleaning

Very low moisture cleaning (VLM)

The chemistry behind VLM encapsulation is its crystalline polymeric formulation. The encapsulation formula utilizes polymers that surround soils and dirt on carpet fibers. In addition, the detergents used to loosen soils are also encapsulated by the product. The encapsulated soil and detergents then crystallize and become brittle, making them easy to remove by simple vacuuming. The carpet is free of detergent residue, which helps prevent rapid re-soiling. This method results in faster drying times and no issues with your padding being left saturated with dirty water that can cause mold and mildew. VLM is an increasingly popular method of carpet cleaning and is broadly defined in the industry as a method of carpet cleaning that is highly effective, faster, and more thorough carpet cleaning method. VLM typically limits drying to 1-2 hours.
