With such a variety of methods available, who do you choose and why? The most popular method of cleaning is wet cleaning, however this comes with its disadvantages:
CONS OF A WET CARPET CLEANING SYSTEM:
Carpets have to be left for between a few hours and a couple of days to completely dry.
The chemicals that wet systems use can often be harmful to the homeowner, children and pets and abrasive on the carpet fibres.
Stains can resurface days after the carpet is cleaned (initially the stains disappear, but as the carpet dries, the stain will wick back to the surface of the yarn).
All of your furniture has to be cleared from the space to allow the carpets to dry.
Relatively high costs due to the expensive equipment and materials.
Overwetting a carpet can cause the seams to split or delaminates the backing of the carpet.
Wet systems can also leave a lingering chemical smell.
Dry carpet cleaning, is a safer, more cost effective method with better and instant cleaning results. Your carpets also remain cleaner for longer, which in the long term will prolong the life of your carpets.
HOW DRY CARPET CLEANING WORKS:
First of all the carpets are vacuumed thoroughly to extract loose dirt and residue.
A natural sponge solvent is then placed onto the carpet (the sponges are harmless for your health and do not leave a lingering chemical smell).
The sponges are agitated into the carpet using counter rotating roller brushes and lift any dirt and dust imbedded deep into the carpet. This dirt is unreachable by even the most powerful domestic vacuum cleaner.
The dirty sponges are then extracted from the carpet.
Most dry carpet cleaning machines are up to 10 times more powerful than your average domestic vacuum cleaner meaning they can even remove dust mites.
If there are any stains that are harder to remove, spot cleaners or a more substantial sponge can be used.
The carpets are INSTANTLY DRY once cleaned so the surface can be walked upon straight away.
