First things rst. Your carpet.

We know more than youll probably ever care to know about carpet. Thats okay; thats the way it should be. After all, its kind of our thing.
While we have many tools at our disposal, our proprietary dry system is the best way to keep your carpet clean, protect your investment, and prevent unwanted pollutants from becoming airborne and negatively affecting your indoor air quality.

Why dry?
One of the best ways to make sure your carpet holds up over time is to make sure that the individual bers stay clean and strong.
MilliCares dry polymer system leaves your bers smooth and clean. Other systems leave water and soap residue behind that can weaken the bers, cause rapid re-soiling, and leave your carpet susceptible to mold and bacteria growth.

Heres how we clean:

1. Your carpet is prepared with the appropriate pre-mist spray. 2. MilliCares proprietary dry polymer is applied to your carpet. 3. Dry polymer is worked into your carpet. 4. Polymer and soil are retrieved. All of our equipment is easily transportable, so you wont need to worry about propped doors and strung hoses compromising your buildings security. And since our process is dry-centered, you can get back to work right away, without waiting around for your carpet to dry.

So, how does it work?

Everything centers around our revolutionary dry polymer. Its unique properties allow it to adsorb and remove dirt from deep inside your carpet.

Now, on to your textiles.

You know that dirty old chair youve been meaning to throw out? Well, before you toss it, maybe you should consider getting it cleaned. Many times, seating, panel fabrics, and other textiles you thought were beyond saving just need a good dose of MilliCare.

By having your textiles cleaned, not only will they look better, but theyll last a lot longer too.
Once our polymer is brushed into your carpet, it nds and collects the dirt, dust, allergens, and other particles. The polymer and attached dirt are removed, leaving your carpet clean and dry.

Heres how:
1. An atomized mixture of air and solution is injected into your fabric. The mixture creates tiny droplets that act as scrubbers to clean the individual bers.

2. The solution is removed simultaneously with any dirt, allergens, and stains, resulting in cleaner textiles and quicker dry times.

When removed, the polymer takes with it the dirt, dust, and other pollutants from your carpet.

Our specialized equipment is used to clean your textiles deep below the surface.

The solution is extracted as it cleans, which minimizes dry times while maximizing productivity.
