One type of dry cleaning is called dry powder cleaning. With this method the carpet cleaner first vacuums the carpet and then applies a semi moist powder onto it.

It does have the disadvantage of leaving behind some of the powder although the powder may inhibit resoiling. Another method of dry carpet cleaning is called dry foam. With this method the carpe cleaner first vacuums your carpet thoroughly. Next they apply a shampoo to your carpet and agitate it with a machine. The shampoo absorbs and holds the soil and is allowed to dry. After it is dry the cleaner vacuums the now brittle shampoo up and your carpet is clean and ready to use. The last dry cleaning method I will talk about is called dry chemical or bonnet cleaning. With this method the carpet cleaner also first vacuums the carpet to remove dry soil. They then apply a cleaning agent to the carpet and use a floor machine to agitate and absorb the solution with cotton or synthetic bonnets. They then allow the carpet to dry which normally takes less than an hour.
