Why Choose Low-Moisture Oxygenated Cleaning?

Tulsa Kwik Dry’s proprietary Kwik Dry system uses an oxygenated cleaning solution instead of large volumes of hot water. Because so little moisture goes into the carpet, most jobs are dry within about an hour, there’s no soapy residue left behind to re-attract dirt, and the process is safe for kids and pets. Traditional steam cleaning (hot water extraction) can leave carpets wet for up to a full day and, if not fully extracted, can leave a detergent residue that causes carpets to resoil faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is low-moisture oxygenated cleaning as effective as steam cleaning?

Yes. The oxygenated solution lifts dirt and stains from carpet fibers without saturating the padding or subfloor, which also reduces the risk of mold or mildew that can occur when steam cleaning leaves carpet damp for too long.

Is Kwik Dry’s cleaning solution safe for pets and children?

Yes, the oxygenated cleaning solution is non-toxic and pet-safe, and because carpets dry in about an hour, there’s minimal wait before rooms are safe to use again.
