CRYSTAL® Chemistry

CRYSTAL DRY® has been proven globally for the past 20 years. Founder Dick Whittaker pioneered the development of low-moisture "Encapsulation" cleaning methods as a revolutionary alternative to disruptive, inefficient restorative cleaning systems. Whittaker's SMART CARE ® carpet maintenance process traps embedded soils in clear polymer crystals that are removed along with the dirt during the next vacuuming cycle.
