Steam Cleaning Carpet Cleaning Methods

Hot water extraction involves cleaning carpets in water. With temperatures of only up to 100 degrees Celsius. Some carpet cleaners call this method “steam cleaning”. Even though this technique is actually inferior to steam cleaning in terms of what type of cleaning it can do.

Truck-Mounted vs. Portable carpet cleaning methods

Equipment ranges from the baby machines that homeowners can rent to big. Also truck mounted machines. The latter is far more effective. Have a unique set of pros and cons.

  • The long hose that goes from the truck to the operator. It means that you must leave doors or windows open. It also presents a tripping hazard.
  • Hoses could be too short to reach, especially in large buildings or high rises.
  • Because the machinery is mounted on a truck outside the building, there’s less noise indoors.
  • Unfortunately, the sound of the truck idling in the driveway or at the roadside can upset neighbors. In certain areas, it would be against municipal by-laws.
  • On the plus side of the equation, truck mounted equipment is more efficient. Both in terms of results and time needed for the cleaning process. The extra suction power helps carpets to dry out faster.
  • Carpet manufacturers prefer hot water extraction cleaning because of the deep down dirt removal. This prevents particulate abrasion that causes wear.

Dry cleaning Carpet Cleaning Methods

To limit the problem of damp carpets, various cleaning methods have been developed. Some of them aren’t strictly speaking 100% dry. We could say that they are “drier” instead. Professional carpet cleaners would choose one of the following options.

Dry Compound Carpet Cleaning Methods

The compound isn’t altogether dry, but it dissolves and attracts grime. After it has been thoroughly worked into the carpet. It is left to dry before being sucked away with an industrial vacuum cleaner. Although this system might sound very easy, it has its own set of complications to deal with.

Encapsulation

Encapsulation uses detergent polymer chemistry to bind dirt to their molecules forming tiny crystals. Early attempts at encapsulation formulations were problematic. With carpets becoming rapidly re-soiled after cleaning because any residues left behind would continue to attract dirt.

Generally, this requires an additional day before vacuuming has recently become an accepted method. That’s for commercial and residential carpet maintenance.

Bonnet

Using this type of system requires considerable skill. First, the operator applies a mist of detergent to the bonnet. Now, the bonnet, a type of round buffer pad, picks up the dirt. Operators must master several tricks.

Dry Foam Cleaning

Foam is never completely dry. This type of carpet cleaning is very good for water sensitive fabrics that can’t be cleaned with hot water extraction. Once again, the right machine for the job is a must. The foam is applied and immediately vacuumed out again.
