Title: Dry Fusion system     pros and cons?
Post by: cleanability on April 26, 2004, 02:18:53 am

Could someone explain to me the pros and cons of Dry Fusion cleaning. Does this system kill off the old adage "you've got to wet it to give it a good clean"?  How do you clean right to the edge and around awkward shapes. How about stairs?  Can it be used on thick pile carpets or office carpet tiles? What about spot cleaning, surely you would need HWE to flush out any chemicals used on a bad stain? Does it really clean and deodorise and make u a cup of tea all in one go. Sounds too good 2 b true. Is it?

Hi Chris

Dry Fusion UK are on the verge of their roadshow for 2004. Give them a ring and ask if they are down your way. The system does work very, very well. OK a manufacturer or agent of any product will present their goods in a way most beneficial, but with Dry Fusion the demo is impressive and virtually as you would get in the real world. As with HWE, most spots and stains come out with the system. Also, as with HWE, very technical problem stains are not cleaning, but stain treatment/removal, so the necessary tools (spotter machine etc.) may be required. The D/F system will clean most types and styles of carpet safely, but, as a trained, qualified and highly skilled individual, it is down to the technician to decide which system would be most appropriate for a particular job. I'd advise spending some time at a show or roadshow with the D/F people or maybe a colleague who uses the system. As with everything, you need to experience the real world results first hand to satisfy yourself. You will be impressed.

Safe and happy cleaning :)
Ken

Hi Chris

So far as I can tell there are more pros than cons and of course the biggest being the drying times.

What goes against it is that there is no machine for cleaning stairs and upholstery.

Have you looked at the Texatherm system which is very similar but with out the stain blocking.

Ken have you tried any form of hand rotary  like the Minitex that Texatherm use?

I haven't used a purpose designed hand rotary as yet, and the one that I tried many years ago wasn't upto much. I gather that the newer generation machines are much better. I gather Dry Fusion are on the verge of releasing a hand rotary themselves, and it's not a re-badged Mintex.
Safe and happy cleaning:)
