- Foams
- Bonnet Cleaning
- Absorbent Dry Compound
- In-Plant Cleaning
|
| |
Carpet
Cleaning with Hot Water Extraction or 'Steam' Cleaning |
| |
Portable or
truck-mounted equipment is used to spray heated detergent solution
into the carpet pile at a high pressure and immediately extracted
along with the suspended soil particles. The machine may employ
rotary brushes or another agitating device to work the solution
into the pile and loosen soil.
Factors that affect the results of this method are: |
| |
- operator
skill
- solution temperature
- spray pressure
- vacuum power
- prespray: spraying solution some time before extracting |
| |
Carpet
Cleaning with Shampoo |
| |
In this method,
detergent solution is released onto the carpet through openings
in a rotary brush, whose rotary action converts the solution
into foam and works it into the carpet. Once dry, vacuuming
removes the residue containing loose, encapsulated soil. At
times, chemicals may be added to the detergent solution to reduce
odors, retard soiling, brighten colors and/or speed drying.

Carpet
Cleaning with a Combination of Hot Water Extraction and Shampoo
|
| |
As the name
implies, this method uses the Hot Water Extraction method and
Shampoo. This method is especially effective for cleaning highly
soiled carpets, with heavy oil/soil build-up.
The process has two steps:
- Shampoo using rotary brush to loosen soil
- Hot Water Extraction using water rather than detergent solution
to remove shampoo |
| |
Some units
may combine both steps. It is usually expensive because of added
labor costs. |
| |
Carpet
Cleaning with Foams |
| |
This is a variation
of 'Shampoo'. Foam is generally applied onto the carpet, usually
from aerosol containers, and rubbed in with a dry sponge. Once
dry, the residue containing suspended soil is simple vacuumed
away. Since foam uses little water, there is no danger of over
wetting and the connected complications. But due to the same
reason, this method is not as effective as the "wetter"
methods! |
| |
Carpet
Cleaning using Bonnet Cleaning |
| |
This is another
method similar to 'Shampoo'. Bonnet cleaning employs an absorbent
pad ('bonnet') attached to the bottom of a rotary machine. Detergent
solution is sprayed onto the carpet ad the rotary pad is used
to agitate and remove the soil suspended in the solution from
the carpet. Once one side of the pad gets soiled, the sides
can be reversed. And when both sides get soiled, the pad can
be replaced and later cleaned.
This method is used in the regular maintenance of commercial
buildings. |
| |
Carpet
Cleaning with Absorbent Dry Compound |
| |
TA dry compound
containing detergent/ solvent is sprinkled onto the carpet and
worked into the pile using machines. The soil particles get
encapsulated in the absorbent dry compound and are removed by
vacuuming. Since this method does not use any "wet"
process, there is no danger of over wetting. |
| |
In-Plant
Carpet Cleaning |
| |
This type of
carpet cleaning is ideal for specialized cleaning of loose or
valuable rugs. The rugs are sent through a duster which extracts
soil more effectively than routine vacuuming. They are then
washed and hung to dry in a controlled air environment.
The Firm may also offer special service for repair of valuable
rugs, using special equipment. |

Carpet
Cleaning Tips: |
| |
Carpeting
can be one of the most durable investments you make for your
home - provided you care for it properly. With routine cleaning
and basic maintenance, a quality carpet can last 20 years
or more. |
| |
Today's carpet are designed to
hide soil and even repel it, thanks to advances in chemical
treatments. |
| |
However, carpet fibers can still
trap and hide dust, dirt, bacteria and other pollutants. Over
time, that can lead to matting and a general deterioration of
your carpet. |
| |
Regular carpet cleaning has a
number of benefits that we sometimes forget: |
| |
• It extends the life
of your carpet.
• It gives a fresh, clean look to
a room.
• It makes a room smell better.
•
It eliminates dust and particles that bother people with allergies
and asthma. |
| |
Vacuuming |
| |
Regular vacuuming is perhaps
the easiest and most dependable way to giving your carpet
a longer life. |
| |
Here's a few tips to keep in
mind when you're vacuuming at home or shopping for a new vacuum:
|
| |
• Choose a vacuum cleaner
with dual motors, one for suction and the other for the beater
bar that loosens dirt. (Canister vacuums and 'electric brooms'
don't have a beater bar.)
• Make sure your vacuum
cleaner has adjustable and rotating brushes that can loosen
ground-in soil, and a strong enough airflow to penetrate to
the backing.
• Make sure the filtration bag is enclosed
and adequately limits particles from re-circulating into the
air. |
