Common Carpet Cleaning Methods

A dirty carpet can cause diseases as it accumulates germs and bacteria. So, maintaining a clean and healthy carpet is very essential. Cleaning carpets may differ on what type of carpet you use.

Carpet cleaning has 2 known methods to remove stains, dirt, sand, and even allergens:

Dry Cleaning Method
It involves specialized machines and cleaning solutions to clean the carpet without added moisture. So, the carpet dries faster. It is also faster than any other method of carpet cleaning.

There are different types of dry cleaning method. One is by using special foam that stays in your carpet. When it is dry, the foam gets vacuumed up.

Another one is called ‘the bonnet method’, it is where a cleaning product is misted on the carpet, and then it is absorbed by a rotating buffer and a pad wherein the contaminant attaches itself.

This method has the advantage of drying very quickly because of the small amount of moisture used. It is debatable because people asks if all residue can be extracted.

Wet Cleaning Method
In this method, costumers fear that, because of its slow drying time, the risk of molds, mildew, odors, bacteria, and even discoloration may return. However, there are cleaning services that have mastered this method.

Steam cleaning or hot water extraction uses a combination of high water pressure and hot water. So, a hot cleaning solution is sprayed on the carpet then it is immediately extracted by a vacuum source.

The advantage of this system is that it can remove large amount of dirt, soil, and other contaminants. But, it takes approximately 3 - 4 hours of drying time. It is the most recommended cleaning method because the high heat can kill molds, fungus, and bacteria.
