With reference to the "Dry Fusion" method, here's an old post from elsewhere that I found.
" I was saddened to read on an Australian Forum that John Goldsmith died on the 2nd January. He died after living with cancer for some time. John was the inventor and driving force behind Dry Fusion and other products. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
My condolences to his family.
God Bless you John

John Goldsmith & his wife Elizabeth were personal friends of mine for many years.
He told me many years ago that he got the idea for "Dry Fusion" by using a machine that he had seen people using to clean roofs in Germany, and the rest is history.
In Australia, his main business was Research Industries, a manufacturer of cleaning chemicals, and he went on to make "Green Solutions" before they were fashionable, which he called "Citrus Resources".
I'm also pretty sure, he was the first person to start using d'lemonene for oil stain removal.
Back in about September 2003, John and Elizabeth joined along with many carpet cleaners on a night cruise along the Nepean River at Penrith, New South Wales, in conjunction with an Ausclean trade show.
That unfortunately, was the last time I saw John.
Shorty.
PS:::: Low Moisture Cleaning is often confusing to people including carpet cleaners.
Low Moisture DOES NOT have to be encapsulation, bonnet, dry fusion, or any other cleaning related to these words.
It can also be done with HWE cleaning.
From the LMCCA website:
"Low Moisture Cleaning is methods or procedures that allow any fibers to dry to its natural state in less than 2 hours. For a more detailed paper see our White Paper Defining this Term in the Document Manager Area."
