......the above company is based in the USA, and offer "dry carpet cleaning" after viewing their before and after images on FB, I emailed them asking which products they are using , I can see in a couple of the images they are using a Host Freestyle , and a cleaning product in a pump up sprayer bottle.

They emailed back, and said it was not an en-cap product and they don't use Host Dry sponges / powder ( a product I use when dry carpet cleaning ) but would not tell the name of the product they are using  ::)
 I have tried using M power only and brushing in with my Host freestyle but I don't get results like Dry Step, has anybody got any idea's as to what they are using ?

cheers
Paul.

I can make the same "marks" in the carpet with my Freestyle when dry carpet cleaning , so I don't think they are wand marks.

Yep think your right, just enlarged the image to get a better look and have just seen one with brush marks in the the triangle shapes. Pretty impressive results for an inferior method!  ;D

A good prespray will loosen the  dirt then a contrrotating machine will spread it about..... making the carpet appear clean.

I often do this and have the customer think I've finished, as the carpet looks clean.

This carpet might  look clean because they dirt has been evenly distributed  or it might be actually be clean.... you can never tell from just a photo.
