If you have carpets on your floors then you should make sure that they are professionally cleaned every few months. This is because carpets are one of the places where allergens or dust can settle easily. In addition to this, regularly cleaning will also help to enhance the look of the carpet and give your home a cleaner, fresher feel.
Professional carpet cleaners use various methods when cleaning carpets, such as the hot water extraction method, the absorbent compound method and the bonnet and dry foam cleaning method.
Absorbent compound method – This method is a dry cleaning method which cleans the carpet without using water. In this method, small amounts of solvent and detergents are distributed all over the carpet. After this, the detergents and dust particles are vacuumed up. After this method, the carpet takes around 30 to 60 minutes to dry.
Bonnet cleaning method – Firstly, the carpets are vacuumed thoroughly and then a solution is applied on the carpet. To remove the solution, absorbent pads are attached to a specialist cleaning machine. The carpet takes 30 to 45 minutes to dry after this procedure.
Hot water extraction method – During this method, a detergent solution is sprayed on the carpet. The solution is removed by rinsing the carpet with hot water. This is one of the methods where carpets take more time to dry, usually anywhere between 1 to 3 hours.
Dry foam cleaning method – This is one of the methods which is also known as a minimum moisture type method. In this method, dense foam is applied on the carpet with the help of a mechanical brush. When the carpet is dry, a vacuum cleaner is used to extract the dried foam and dust particles.
