Dirt and soil are
easily seen on a hard surface and soon wipe off, but on carpet it
can soon work its way deep into the fibers where the abrasive action
will cause them to deteriorate and need replacing prematurely.
We use a cleaning system that deep cleans your carpets, flushing the
dirt and pollutants from the fibers with self-neutralizing cleaning
chemicals that are also non-toxic and bio-degradable, leaving your
carpets clean and fresh again.
We offer only the best cleaning methods and use only the safest, most
effective products. |

It is worth noting
that virtually every carpet manufacturer recommends that their carpets
are professionally cleaned every 12/24 months and some are now making
it compulsory condition of their wear warranties. See Minneapolis Carpet Cleaning for a good example of environmentally safe maintenance of your carpets and the prevention of wear. |

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
- presray: 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. |
