Carpet Cleaning Companies' Techniques

Even if you believe your carpets to be clean, there will be a certain amount of unseen dirt and micro-organisms which could even affect your family’s health. It is therefore advisable to use professional carpet cleaning companies once or twice a year, particularly if anyone in the family has asthma or other respiratory problems.

Techniques Carpet Cleaning Companies Use

There are a number of carpet cleaning methods available, varying in price and efficacy. Depending on the carpet type and the level of dirt, different methods may or may not be suitable.

Shampooing carpets involves using a special detergent which is then agitated with a carpet cleaning machine. The detergent is later removed with a thorough vacuuming. The detergent brightens carpets and removes odours but the effect is generally shorter lived than other methods because much of the dirt and the microbes remain in the carpet.

Carpet cleaning companies may also recommend dry cleaning, which is ideal when there is no time to be lost waiting for drying. A cleaning powder is laid over the carpet, acting as a magnet for dirt, before being vacuumed away.

Foam cleaning is a combination of the shampooing and dry cleaning methods. Only a small amount of water is used with a foam detergent, followed by a thorough vacuuming.

Most carpet cleaning companies, however, will almost always recommend steam cleaning.  This is generally considered to be the most effective carpet cleaning method. Powerful, professional machines are used to inject hot water and detergent into the carpet. Later the mixture is extracted, taking dirt and microbes with it.
