More carpet cleaning methods you should consider. A great cleaning service will tell you your options and make a recommendation that meets your needs!
Method 2: Absorbent Pad
Also known as bonnet cleaning, this method employs a round pad that spins across the surface of the carpet, absorbing the soil. A solution is applied to the carpet or the pad to aid in releasing soils. This is a method that some may classify as “dry cleaning” although water-based products are used in almost all “dry cleaning” systems; therefore the term dry cleaning is not technical and would not be desired. Absorbent pad cleaning is not a deep-cleaning method. It should only be used to clean lightly soiled carpet and upholstery.
Method 3: Dry Compound
This method uses a powder that has been treated with detergents, water, and solvents. The powder compound is sprinkled on the carpet and a brush with cylindrical brushes is used to work the powder into the carpet pile. The solution in the powder releases the soil. The soil is then absorbed into the absorbent powder. This method should only be used to clean lightly soiled carpet and upholstery, and for maintenance cleaning.
Method 4: Shampoo or Dry Foam
In this method, a shampoo or foam is generated and worked into the carpet with a rotary brush or cylindrical brush machine. The shampoo or foam releases the soil. The soil is then vacuumed with the machine or allowed to dry and removed with a conventional vacuum cleaner. When using shampoo, great care should be taken to avoid leaving a sticky residue on the carpet. This method should only be used to clean lightly soiled carpet and upholstery, and for maintenance cleaning.
Method 5: Encapsulation Cleaning
Encapsulation cleaning is a low moisture cleaning performed with a Brush Pro and special encapsulation cleaning agent. I believe it is the safest for the fibers and gives the best results for low moisture cleanings. It is the latest technology and actually suspends and entraps soil for easy removal during cleaning. Then slows re-soiling by leaving a special encapsulating polymer behind. It attaches to the carpet soils and vacuums away with each vacuuming.
