Beofre purchasing a carpet cleaning machine, it is important to consider the benefits and drawbacks for the method of cleaning that a machine is able to perform.
Some cleaning methods and machines may be better suited to routine maintenance cleaning, while other methids and machinery may be needed to tackle heavily soiled carpets with stubborn stains and ingrained dirt.
The most important thing is to pick a professional-grade machine - and a process - that will achieve the best results possible.
Here are the most common and effective methods of cleaning carpets:
Hot Water Extraction (HWE), commonly referred to as steam cleaning, is a highly effective and widely used method for deep cleaning carpets and upholstery. It usually involves several steps:
Dry carpet cleaning is a cleaning method that utilises dry cleaning compounds and powders to clean carpets without the use of excessive moisture. Unlike traditional wet cleaning methods, dry carpet cleaning minimise water usage, allowing for faster drying times and reducing the risk of mold or mildew growth.
Here's how the dry carpet cleaning process typically works:
1. Applying The Cleaning Compound: A dry cleaning compound or chemical powder is applied to the carpet. The compounds contain absorbent agents and detergents that are designed to loosen, attract and absorb soils from the carpet fibers.
2. Agitation: The cleaning compound is worked into the carpet fibers using a mechanical brush or counter-rotating brushes. This agitation process helps the cleaning compound to penetrate deep into the carpet fibres, letting them get straight to work abosrbing the dirt. The cleaning compound granules are then vacuumed up, leaving behind a dry, clean carpet.
3. Dwelling: After agitation, the cleaning compound is allowed to sit on the carpet for a specific period, typically 15-30 minutes. During this time, the cleaning agents in the compound break down the dirt and stains, making them easier to remove during the subsequent vacuuming process.
4. Vacuuming: A specialized dry carpet cleaning machine equipped with powerful suction is used to vacuum up the cleaning compound along with the loosened dirt and grime. The machine's strong vacuuming action ensures that both the cleaning compound and the dirt are effectively removed from the carpet.
5. Post-Cleaning Inspection: After the cleaning process is complete, technicians inspect the carpet to ensure that all visible stains and dirt have been removed. If necessary, spot treatments can be applied to address any remaining stains.
Hot water extraction machine - sometimes referred to as a steam cleaner. This machine sprays a mixture of hot water and cleaning solution onto the carpet, agitates the carpet fibers to loosen dirt, and extracts the solution along with the dirt. It is highly effective for deep cleaning and is often preferred for its ability to remove allergens and bacteria.
Dry Carpet Cleaning Machines utilize specialized cleaning compounds or powders that are applied to the carpet. These compounds attract dirt, allowing it to be vacuumed away. This method is preferred for its quick drying time and is ideal for situations where minimal moisture is desired, such as in commercial spaces where immediate use of a carpet is necessary.
Bonnet Cleaning Machines involve the use of a rotary machine with a cleaning pad soaked in a cleaning solution. This method is often used for routine maintenance in commercial settings. The machine's rotating action agitates the carpet fibers, allowing the pad to absorb the cleaning solution and dirt.
Encapsulation Carpet Cleaners use a cleaning solution that encapsulates dirt particles into a dry residue. After application, the residue is vacuumed away, leaving the carpet clean and dry. This method is known for its low moisture usage, making it suitable for places where fast drying is essential.
Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning Machines generally involve the use of specialized machines that use minimal water and cleaning solutions. These machines also offer quick drying times, making them popular choices in areas where rapid turnaround is essential.
