Note:

 

After

dry,

 

in

 

as

 

little

 

as

 

30

 

minutes,

 

it

 

may

 

be

 

vacuumed.

 

However,

 

there

 

is

 

no

 

need

 

to

 

vacuum

 

immedi

The

 

carpet

 

is

 

left

 

bright

 

and

 

clean

 

looking,

 

with

 

no

 

visible

 

“crystals”.

 

Dirt

 

becomes

 

encapsulated

 

in

crystals

 

and

 

is

 

ready

 

to

 

be

 

vacuumed

 

at

 

the

 

next

 

scheduled

 

vacuuming.

 

No

 

residue

 

is

 

left

 

to

 

build

 

up

 

and

 

clog

 

carpets

 

as

 

with

 

most

 

dry

 

compounds.

   

 

Please

 

remember

 

all

 

cleaning

 

systems

 

will

 

be

 

maximized

 

with

 

pre

vacuuming

 

to

 

remove

 

larger

 

dry

For
