The Importance of Carpet Cleaning

Professional carpet cleaning services can certainly take care of any stains that are left behind after the winter season.

Cleaning Techniques

The type of method used largely depends on the type of fiber, amount of soiling, and different environmental conditions. The most common types of cleaning methods are:

Steam cleaning

Carpet shampooing

Dry cleaning

Bonnet cleaning

Steam Cleaning

Also called hot water extraction, this method uses water which is heated up to 212° and injected into the carpet at high pressure. The hot water loosens the dirt and the machine immediately extracts the dirt and moisture away.

This method is quite useful for killing dust mites, bacteria, and getting rid of odors. The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) also considers this method to be more sanitary in comparison to other methods such as shampooing.

Carpet Shampooing

Shampooing utilizes a cleaning chemical which is machine incorporated into the carpet and then scrubbed using a pad or brush. This is the ideal technique for low pile and heavily soiled carpets. The next step consists of a thorough hot water extraction to remove the residue and soil.

Dry Cleaning

Water is not used in this technique; instead, a type of absorbent compound is sprinkled on the carpet. After that a mechanized brush is used to spread it across the carpet so that the compound can dissolve the soil. Finally, a vacuum cleaner is used to draw up the residue and soil. Natural fiber carpets like hemp and sisal, which can easily get damaged by other cleaning methods, particularly benefit from dry cleaning.

Bonnet Cleaning

In this technique a cleaning product is spread on top of the carpet’s surface and a rotating buffer utilizing an absorbent covering is employed. This method is able to clean only the top surface of the carpet and is considered a provisional method to be used between other types of extensive cleaning.

The professionals at ServiceMaster Commercial Cleaning in Rochester combine the top two methods: carpet shampooing and followed immediately with steam cleaning which increases the soil being removed from your carpet.
