Let us take this task off your busy schedule!
Here’s how the HUGHES DRY Process Works:
We begin with an initial walkthrough of all areas to be cleaned. This allows our technician to understand your specific concerns and ensure every area that needs attention is properly addressed.
1 - Furniture is Moved
Our standard cleaning includes moving common items such as sofas, loveseats, chairs, tables, nightstands, lamps, and wastebaskets.
2 - Areas are Pre-Vacuumed
Up to 85% of carpet contaminants are actually dry soils—adding water only makes them harder to remove. Many companies skip this crucial step or ask the customer to do it, but at Hughes Dry, we handle it every time.
3 - Cleaning Micro-Sponges Are Applied
Our HOST Dry Sponges are lightly moistened and infused with a safe citrus-based solvent. They dissolve soil on contact and trap it inside each sponge for easy removal.
4 - Sponges Are Brushed Through Carpet Fibers
Using our specialized carpet cleaning machine, the technician scrubs the micro-sponges through the carpet in multiple directions. The machine’s gentle brushes lift and separate the carpet yarns for a thorough clean.
5 - Spots, Soils, and Traffic Areas Are Treated
To achieve the best results, we use a range of targeted treatments for problem areas. Each technician carries professional-grade products designed to tackle everything from pet stains and spills to rust, shoe polish, and wine.
6 - Soiled Micro-Sponges Are Extracted
With the flip of a switch, the same machine vacuums up the soiled sponges, leaving your carpet clean, dry, and refreshed.
7 - Edges and Details Are Finished
The technician carefully edges and details the room, ensuring all accessible carpet areas are cleaned and sanitized for a consistent finish.
8 - Final Groom and Inspection
A final vacuum patterns the carpet for a fresh, even appearance. The technician performs one last inspection to confirm that every section meets our high standards.
Your carpet is now CLEAN, DRY, and READY FOR IMMEDIATE USE
Environmentally Preferred Carpet Cleaning
Host Dry Is Safe and Eco Friendly
At Hughes Dry, we understand your concerns—no one wants to wait hours or even days for soggy carpets to dry. And no one appreciates a “splash-and-dash” cleaner who’s gone before the job is truly done. That’s why, for over 34 years, we’ve relied on the HOST® Dry Extraction System—a superior alternative to traditional water-based carpet cleaning methods.
The HOST® system is USDA BioPreferred® certified, WoolSafe® approved, and carries the Green Seal® certification, representing the highest standards in environmentally responsible cleaning. Its plant-based micro-sponges deep clean carpet fibers without harsh chemicals or excess moisture, leaving your floors fresh, clean, and ready to walk on right away
When a safe, natural, and effective cleaning method is a must for your home, HOST® Dry Extraction sets the standard.
The Cons of Water Extraction or “Steam Cleaning”
Most homeowners are familiar with traditional water extraction or “steam cleaning.” While it’s common, it’s also far from efficient. Even the best water extraction equipment removes only about 60–65% of the water it uses, which means that after cleaning, a large portion of dirty, chemical-rich moisture remains trapped in your carpet and padding. That leftover moisture leads to a number of issues:
1. Mold and Mildew Growth
If carpets don’t dry completely within four hours, moisture trapped in the backing or padding creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew. Even if the surface feels dry, the layers underneath can stay damp for days, allowing hidden growth and decay to begin.
2. Unpleasant Odors
Many homeowners who have tried wet cleaning methods notice a musty or sour smell afterward. This is caused by over-saturation — excess moisture encourages bacteria, mold, and mildew, which release unpleasant odors that no deodorizer can truly mask.
3. “Wick-Back” Stains
Have you ever had a spot reappear days after cleaning? That’s called wick-back. High-pressure water forces dirt and contaminants deep into the carpet backing, where gravity holds them in place. As the carpet dries, moisture travels upward through the fibers, bringing those soils back to the surface — and the stain returns.
4. Inconvenient Setup and Restrictions
Water extraction often requires significant preparation and post-cleaning downtime. Homeowners are typically asked to:
Move or elevate furniture on foam blocks
Lift drapery, bedskirts, and fabric fixtures
Keep doors or windows open throughout the cleaning
Restrict pets and children from the area
Vacuum beforehand (since many companies skip this step)
Provide outdoor parking access for van-mounted equipment
Avoid freshly cleaned areas for hours or even days while they dry
In addition, long hoses are dragged through the home, risking scuffs and scratches to floors, walls, and doorframes. Cold or rainy weather can make the process even more difficult since many systems rely on open access to the outdoors.
A Smarter, Safer Alternative
Our Hughes Dry Extraction Process was designed to eliminate all of these issues. It’s cleaner, faster, and completely dry — meaning no waiting, no lingering odors, and no risk of mold or wick-back. Just fresh, revitalized carpet you can walk on right away.
