Carpet cleaning and maintenance is not complicated, as well as regularly vacuuming and dealing with spilled and dirty stains as soon as possible, you only need to have it professionally cleaned once a year or more, depending on the number of people in the household and foot traffic. Carpet experts often remind us not to get the carpet too dirty before having it professionally cleaned. Waiting too long between cleanings can cause unresolvable stains or discoloration. However, there are several ways companies can professionally clean carpets. Of course, it’s important to have a basic knowledge of these types before embarking on a particular method of carpeting.
Carpet Shampoo System
The idea of this system is to apply and/or create plenty of foam on the carpet. This foam absorbs the dirt and then allows it to dry. After drying, the remaining residue can be safely vacuumed to obtain a clean carpet. Foam is usually used together with cylindrical foam shampoo machine or rotary floor machine. Both use different brands of brushes to clean the carpet.
Steam cleaning system
Also called “hot water extraction” or “hot water extraction”, it uses heated water that is sprayed heavily onto the carpet with fine jets to expel the dirt from the carpet. The resulting dirty liquid is then sucked in with a powerful vacuum through a slit in the front of the spray. The equipment is usually mounted on a truck, allowing the emission of exhaust fumes and dirt outside the home. This method is also considered by some to be the only “deep carpet” system. Other systems are simply classified as “surface rengøring af kontor” by other professionals.
Cleaning system
Also called carpet absorbent cleaners that use little or no water. A dry absorbent mixture, which may contain a small amount of water, solvent and detergent, is sprinkled on the carpet. It is then mixed with special equipment and turned into a carpet. As with the foam method, the “dry mix” attracts and absorbs dirt. The dry mix is then sucked through the carpet. However, heavily soiled carpets often require an additional step of spraying the carpet before the main cleaning process. They are generally used in very dirty areas with detergent spray. The advantage of this method is that no drying time is required after cleaning.
