Most reputable manufacturers of carpet highly recommend that they are cleaned by professionals rather than make it a DIY project. There are a variety of reasons; the equipment you rent may not be clean or adjusted properly; you can easily get the incorrect proportion of detergent’s which will result in a residue; you can over-wet the carpet or damage the fibers. Most manufacturers recommend carpet cleaning in Riverside for all but making a temporary clean-up on high-traffic areas or spills that occur between having professional cleaning.
There are three accepted carpet cleaning methods:
Shampooing
Dry chemical (foam)
Hot water extraction (steam cleaning)
The system that is chosen by the company that does your carpet cleaning in Riverside will depend on a number of factors. The type of carpet, the material and pile as well as the wear and amount of dirt are all important considerations. Some methods leave behind a residue which leads to rapid re-soiling; other methods can damage the fibers and reduce the longevity of the carpet. The carpet manufacturers suggest a cleaning cycle of about 12 to 18 months, all depending on the number of people in your home, the normal activity and whether the carpet is dark or light color. It is recommended that carpet cleaning in Riverside is done before the carpet gets too dirty.
Shampoo:
A rotary brush is used to scrub the shampoo into the carpet. The rotary movement causes the shampoo to foam and work into the carpet. Once the carpet dries, it is vacuumed and most of the soil will be removed, but a residue will remain, which attracts more dirt. Often, shampooing is used along with steam cleaning to clean extremely soiled carpeting. There are also foam applicators, which spray foam directly on the stain; this is then worked in by rubbing and then vacuuming.
Dry methods:
Dry methods use chemicals or a dry foam; they are best suited for high-traffic areas where wetting the carpet could be problematic. This method is not truly dry; there is some dampness inherent with the process. This method is simple, but the dry chemical does not get deep into the pile. Before the cleaning commences, give the carpet a very good vacuuming. Once ready, dust the chemicals on the carpet and work it in by brushing in a number of different directions.
Steam cleaning:
The carpet is first vacuumed and pre-treated. The most effective systems are those who use truck- mounted units for carpet cleaning in Riverside. A hot-water spray drives the detergent solution deep into the carpet and immediately; the mixture is suctioned up. The truck mounted units are favored as they are more powerful, being powered by the truck engine rather than an electric motor.
