Carpet- Rug Cleaning

Many home owners have a particular attachment to their carpets and rugs. Their fluffiness and sensation to the feet is something to look forward to. But did you know that carpets and rugs accumulate dust and microscopic organisms such as fungi, bacteria and dust mites over time?

A dirty carpet is not only a health hazard but also emits bad odor and spoils aesthetics. All fabrics contain allergens that might make individuals prone to allergies more uncomfortable than they realize. Poor maintenance of carpet fabrics may result to accumulation of harmful bacteria, fungal spore and musty odors.
​
Cleaning your carpet ineffectively may lead to more damage.  If you have noticed some fuzziness after washing your wool carpet, you may need to seek immediate professional restoration guidance.  Carpets that are cleaned effectively, are visually pleasing, longer lasting and healthier.   The choice of a suitable cleaning method depends on the type of carpet fabric. Is the cleaning method compatible with the carpet's underlay and fiber?  That's where a professional carpet cleaning service would be your best bet in treating your carpets effectively.
 
Steam/ hot water extracting soil carpet cleaning.
If actual steam cleaning is adopted, some fabrics such as woven carpets may shrink.  Steam cleaning differs from hot water soil extracting cleaning (HWE), where heated water and detergent are simultaneously sprayed on a carpet and extracted alongside the dissolved and dislodged dirt, providing a deeper clean.
Synthetic fibers are sprayed with alkaline agents while wool carpets are sprayed with an acidic solution.
 
Extraction
Extraction is the most important step to avoid browning of wool fabrics and mold growth. Drying time can be reduced by use of de-humidifiers, outdoor ventilation or use of fans.

Dry Cleaning
Would you rather opt for a rapid drying carpet cleaning solution? Dry cleaning would be best, then. Relying on dry compounds used in conjunction with specific cleaning solutions, this carpet cleaning system relies on low moisture and specialized machinery.

Shampooing.
The application of detergents to the carpet followed by agitation from carpet cleaning machinery. Upon extraction of the detergent, brighteners and deodorizers are employed to brighten and deodorize the carpet. It is the least effective of the cleaning methods as it leaves microbes and dirt.

Foaming.
A hybrid carpet cleaning method, which combines shampooing and dry cleaning methods.
​
Bonnet cleaning
A commercial and industrial carpet cleaning option that restores the look of the carpet without necessarily providing a deep clean.

Though there are countless carpet cleaning methods available, it may or may not be easy to differentiate between them.  Every home has their own particular needs for their own particular situation, and it is important to seek the guidance of professionals before employing any of these methods.
