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.
While the above are three more methods of cleaning carpet, carpet cleaning has come along way.
Encapsulation Cleaning has pretty much taken over the three methods listed above!
Encapsulation cleaning is a low moisture, fast drying type of cleaning to be done between hot water extraction cleanings or in places hot water extraction cannot be performed. It continues to encapsulate soiling after the cleaning for a time that you can vacuum up during regular housekeeping.
