WHAT ARE THE HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONVENTIONAL (WET) CARPET CLEANING AND THE DRYSDALE'S VLM APPROACH?    

Note: VLM = Very Low Moisture. 

A. Breathing Clean Air Vs. Breathing in Sprayed Chemicals 
Drysdale's is unique in our industry in using all-natural, chemical-free, and totally odorless cleaning products. They are 100% safe for use around everyone, even people with medically-diagnosed MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity). Conventional off-the-shelf commercial cleaning products are of the synthetic (petroleum-based) variety and some may even contain chemicals believed to cause cancer. 

(See our website: www.drysdalesl23.com for a list of chemicals frequently found in these products.)

If you are going to be active in this line of work, which would you rather be using? Absolutely safe natural products, or chemicals which could be causing your health to deteriorate every time you use them? 

B. Disposal Problems for Wet-Method Cleaners
The carpet cleaner using our process isn't faced with the growing problem of how to dispose of all of the filthy water his equipment has sucked out of customers' carpets. Increasingly strict environmental laws make disposing of this water a growing challenge for owners of wet-method carpet cleaning companies. With the Drysdale's method, loosened soil is neatly absorbed into terrycloth cotton pads. Your pads become clean again with just a single run through any home or commercial clothes washer. 

C. Dust Mites and Mold
Another health & environmental difference: the more water which remains in the carpet after cleaning, the more fertile a growth area there will be for dust mites and mold. Many customers have asthma or allergic reactions to dust. The Drysdale's affiliate can point out to her customers that low-moisture carpet cleaning won't result in a breeding ground for dust mites. Excess moisture can also cause mold. Mold spores in the air can cause serious illness in many people.
