Carpet Cleaning Techniques

Carpets are designed to look clean for a long time. Manufactures design carpets to hide the dirt by making the fibers non-transparent & non-circular in shape. Just because your carpet doesn’t look dirty doesn’t mean it’s clean. The average business or homeowner only cleans their carpet once every year or every two years. Could you imagine if you only washed your floors this often how they would look. That’s how dirty your carpet actually gets; it’s just hidden by technology. Hot water extraction will remove this dirt. Cleaning your carpets on a regular program will reduce or even stop the dreaded traffic pattern look. Hot water extraction is a type of pressure washing of your carpets. Yes your carpets will be damp for a period of 10 to 14 hours with proper ventilation after the job is done, but the carpet fibers will be cleaned from top to bottom. Proper cleaning of the carpets does not allow the back of the carpet or the padding to even get wet.

Crystal Dry is applied to the carpet by means of a sprayer and then scrubbed with a cylindrical brush machine. This procedure loosens the dirt from the fibers and attaches itself to the chemical. As the carpet dries the chemical crystallizes into microscopic form with the dirt being attached to it. The dirt is then removed from the carpet by regular vacuuming.

Unsightly spots and stains can really ruin the appearance of your carpets. Pre spraying of these areas before the carpet is thoroughly cleaned will often remove most of these spots. Stains are another thing; just like a stain on your favorite shirt carpets get stained too. Stain removal such as red juices, coffee, tar, nail polish and oily substances require additional attention.
