At the start of the year, we attended a course with Cleanspec Cumbria Ltd to learn VLM carpet cleaning. Over the last couple of months, we’ve been putting it to the test, and it’s safe to say it’s earned its place in our toolbox! 🧼
Here’s why we sometimes choose VLM (Very Low Moisture) cleaning over Hot Water Extraction 👇🏽
💧 1. Faster drying
Carpets can be dry in as little as 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on conditions.
⏱️ 2. Less downtime
Ideal for busy homes and commercial spaces that need to get back to normal quickly.
💦 3. Less water
Uses significantly less moisture, helping to reduce the risk of overwetting.
✨ 4. Great for maintenance
Perfect for refreshing carpets, tackling traffic lanes and keeping them looking their best.
🚫 5. No hoses running through the property
A simpler setup with less equipment to run through homes and commercial spaces.
Hot Water Extraction still has its place for heavily soiled carpets and certain cleaning challenges. It’s all about choosing the right method for the job! 👌🏽
