Current Techniques Of Good Carpet Cleaning

By:


When it's time for carpet cleaning there are several ways to approach this. You can either hire a professional or do it yourself. The basic methods for getting your carpets clean are steam only, what is called steam cleaning, with hot water and chemical cleaners, foam cleaning, the dry powder method and the "bonnet" method

If you are considering using a professional service, check out the company and the services each one offers. Ask what method will they use and compare prices. Find out if they move the furniture or will you be expected to have all the furniture out of the room that will be cleaned?

With the steam method chemicals are not used and are great for killing allergens. Steam should not be used for wool carpets. Drying time is much shorter compared with hot water and cleaning chemicals.

With the steam cleaning machines, hot water, and cleaners are mixed, applied by machine on the carpet and then the dirty water and cleaning solution is vacuum up by the machine. This method takes the most of all methods to dry, is good for all carpet types, except for wool.

Cleaning with foam, dry powders or crystals eliminate drying time. Distribute the powder, foam or crystals on the carpet, brush by hand or machine and then vacuum up dirt along with the cleaning agent. Great for wool fiber carpets as well as any other carpet fibers.

The Bonnet method uses cleaning solution sprayed on the carpet and a cotton or cotton blend bonnet placed on a rotary machine. The dirt and solution is absorbed by the spinning bonnet and the bonnet is changed when as it become wet and dirty. There is a short drying time for this method and several clean bonnets need to be available in order to finish the cleaning.

Before starting any method of cleaning carpets, deep vacuuming is very important. Take your time vacuuming. Maybe put on your favorite music album and vacuum until the album is over. Treating stains and spills as they occur can cut down on cleaning time. Correctly treating the stain is important, it makes a difference if someone forgot to take the dog for a walk, or the kids started to use the living room carpet as their coloring project.

Carpet cleaning doesn't have to be drudgery, just follow a few simple steps to get carpet smelling lovely and looking like new.
