Carpet Cleaning Methods Explained

Carpet Cleaning Methods Explained

 

There are different methods of professional carpet cleaning. The main processes are Steam Cleaning (Hot Water Extraction) and the low moister cleaning - Encapsulation Cleaning, Bonnet Cleaning, and Shampooing.

To choose the right method of cleaning carpet depends on the condition of the carpet, the levels of traffic on the carpet, and if you need the carpet to dry fast. 

 

Steam Cleaning or Hot Water Extraction

Involves vacuuming the carpet, pre spray traffic lanes, spray hot steamy water, and a neutralizer onto the carpet. An extraction unit is then used to suck dirty water, spots, and stains out of the carpet. This is an effective method as it provides a deep cleaning of the carpet. Also heat contributes to killing bacteria, dust mites, and mold.

But you have to do it right. Meaning you have to use the right amount of cleaning solution, water, and extraction.

Its best to use a low ph carpet cleaning solution. Because if you don't neutralize it - soil will stick to it. I personally use a high quality encapsulation cleaning solution. This cleaning solution does not attract soil.

You must set your PSI level correct. If your pressure is to high and spray to much water onto the carpet, you run the risk of penetrating the backing, and soaking the padding. Which it could take days to dry and possibly grow mold. So applying the right amount of water is necessary.

And you must extract everything out thoroughly. By extracting everything out, your carpet will dry fast, and the dirt will be fully removed. Since the dirt is extracted out, your carpet will dry clean, instead of dirty.

Equipment to do Steam Cleaning (Hot Water Extraction) you will need either a truck mount system or a high powered portable.

Low Moister Cleaning Methods.

 

Encapsulation Cleaning

First pre-vacuum your carpet, apply encapsulation to the carpet by spraying it or by using the tank that's attached to the buffing machine, and agitate it with a rotary machine using a red or white pad. Or another way of agitating your carpet is by using a CRB Machine that brushes the encap into the carpet and breaks soil free from the fibers. 

To extract up the soil you can go back over the carpet using a buffing machine with an absorbent pad. The pad attracts soil and moister to the pad. Your carpet will dry superfast with this method. 

Or what I personally do . . .  is go over the carpet with a powerful portable machine or truck mount system and properly rinse the carpet and extract the soil away.

Professionals are moving to encapsulation cleaning. The chemistry forms around the particles and crystallizes it so that it attracts more soil. The encapsulated soil breaks free from the fiber and is easily vacuumed up. Encapsulation also gives your carpet a protective coating. The coating protects against wear, tear, and stains. PLUS your carpet dries quick.

If you are in the market to buy Encapsulation cleaning equipment give me a call or text. And I will set you up with the proper equipment and chemicals. Call or text (224) 805-6456 and speak to me directly. Randy Lassiter.

 

Bonnet Cleaning

Involves vacuuming the carpet, applying the proper bonnet cleaning solution, and using a buffing machine that spins and absorbs the dirt onto a white bonnet pad. The bonnet cleaning solution cleans and deodorizes without leaving a soil-attracting residue. It will become a crystal upon drying. This dry crystal will be vacuumed away during daily maintenance. This method is good at breaking down oily build up in carpets.

If you are in the market to buy bonnet cleaning equipment, give me a call or text, and I will set you up with the proper equipment and chemicals. Call or text (224) 805-6456 and speak to me directly. Randy Lassiter.

 

Shampooing

First the carpet is vacuumed and a shampoo is worked into the carpet with a specialized rotary buffing machine.  This method of carpet cleaning dry's fast.

Shampoo has retardants that literally keeps dirt from sticking to carpet fibers. It helps retard soils and cuts down on fiber abrasion and wear, making maintenance cleaning easier for you. Since the soil does not stick to the fiber its easier to vacuum it away.

This helps with your carpet lasting longer and maintaining its appearance.

If you are in the market to buy Shampoo cleaning equipment, give me a call or text, and I will set you up with the proper equipment and chemicals. Call or text 224-805-6456 and speak to me personally. Randy Lassiter.

 

All of the methods of carpet cleaning discussed here will work. Whether you purchase a cleaning machine to do it yourself or hire a professional. It is important to understand how each method works so that you can choose the best method to suit your needs.

 

If you are looking to buy professional equipment and chemicals to clean carpet professionally or personally then give me a call or text at (224) 805-6456 and I will personally help you.

How To Clean A Stain On Carpet

Pet Accidents - Grease - Oil - Ink - Red Wine - Coffee - Blood - Rust - Food - Cosmetics - Dirt - and Grime

If you spill food on your carpet I will give you some simple tips and tricks on how to clean it up.

First thing you want to do is pick the spill up from the outer edge to the center. Pick up the spill with your hands or a spoon. Be careful to pick up the spill with a paper towel because you run the risk of smearing it and making it bigger.

Once you remove the solid of the spill then you need to blot the spot with a micro fiber towel. The towel can be a paper towel or a micro fiber towel. Blot the spot by taking the towel and push straight down onto the spill, do not rub, just blot. Hold pressure down onto the spot for a few seconds. Then pick the towel up and see if the stain is transferring to the towel. If the stain is still transferring fold the towel to a clean spot on the towel and blot the stain again. Repeat the process until it stops transferring.

After the stain stops transferring to the towel you want to rinse the spill with clean water. To rinse with water you want to use a spray bottle filled with cool to warm water. With the spray bottle spray the spill but don't saturate the spot, then blot with a clean towel.

Spray the spill with FOLEX Instant carpet spot remover and blot until there is no stain.

What You Need to Know About Carpet Maintenance To Make Your Life Easier

Carpet cleaning can appear to be a tedious chore. There's vacuuming, spot cleaning, and regular professional carpet cleaning that's required when a home owner has carpets in their house. If you have children or pets - then carpet cleaning maintenance seems to be double the work. There are actually a few little things that you should know about maintaining your carpet that will help prolong the life of it and make your life easier.  

Vacuuming your carpet regularly is a great start in reducing your future workload. Ideally, they can be vacuumed up to 4 times a week with no ill effect on the quality of the carpet. This helps to eliminate dirt build up and thereby lessen the amount of times you will need your carpet professionally cleaned.

The other method of dry cleaning involves sprinkling a powder onto the carpet which is then worked into the carpet. This powder is highly absorbent and when vacuumed out it removes the powder and soil together.

A regular professional clean, whether once or twice a year is also important. Many nasty asthma triggering dust mites live in carpet. So if you have a family member with asthma, it is important to regularly clean your carpet thoroughly to help reduce the build up of dust mites and dirt. It also helps reduce the strength of chemicals required for cleaning. If your carpet is very dirty, stronger chemicals are generally needed to help remove the dirt.

If you are able to reduce the worst of the dirt coming inside from the outside, then you will also reduce your cleaning time. Have quality outdoor mats for people to clean their shoes off before entering your home. Use extra mats at all entrance points to the house, then only these mats will need cleaning. Shoes carry copious amounts of dirt, ensuring that people take their shoes off before walking on your carpet should help prevent abrasives scratch and abrade your fiber and de-luster your carpet. 

It is also vital that when a spill occurs, that you attended to it immediately. Always keep a good spot remover in your cleaning supplies. The sooner you can get to it and clean it up the the less likely it will become a permanent stain.

Carpet Cleaning - Tips on How to Clean Up Food Spills

Carpet Cleaning Tip - This Tip is on How to Clean Your Own Carpet With a Steam Cleaner

If you want to to steam clean your carpet with a rented machine like a rug doctor or a carpet cleaning machine you already own, you need to make sure you use the right soap to water ratio. I repeat it is very important that you use the right soap to water ratio because you if do not rinse the soap out of the carpet the soil that is tracked in from outside will stick to the soap that is left in your carpet. After a couple of weeks your carpet will start to turn black and probably look worse then it did before you cleaned your carpet.

The traffic lanes will start to show your carpet needs cleaning first. The best way to reduce the traffic lanes from being heavily soiled is to use place mat's and to vacuum on a regular basis, because the soil will scratch the fiber which will make your carpet look dull.

To clean your own carpet use the right ratio of soap to water in you carpet cleaning machine. Start from one side of your room and work to the other side of the from. Make sure you don't over wet the carpet because you might cause your carpet to have discoloration or your carpet might shrink. Also if you use to much water on your carpet you run the risk of your backing to separate from the fibers. Make sure you rinse out all of the soap that's why you don't want to put a lot of preconditioner in the machine. If you clean under your furniture make sure you put plastic pieces under your legs of your furniture. If you don't put plastic under the legs the finish will strip off and stain your carpet. If the legs on your furniture are metal it will leave rust stains on your carpet.

The source of the problem needs to be fixed immediately. Source of water comes from a sump pump failure, clogged drains, or a crack in the foundation.

With my truck mount system I remove all standing water. I remove water from your carpet, cut it up in sections, place it in construction bags, and carry it out side for the garbage man to dispose of it. (I may be able to salvage your carpet).

We must extract the water from the pad and dispose of it, by placing it in garbage bags, and carrying out side for the garbage disposal man to haul away. I remove the padding because that where the strong odor will come from, and where mold grows the easiest.

I check your walls and baseboards with a - state of the art - moister meter. EXTECH INSTRUMENT MOISTER METER.  If there is high readings of water in your walls and baseboards then I remove them to prevent mold growth. Wet insulation must be removed too.

With MICROBAN I sanitize every inch to stop mold growth.

Once I have everything cleaned up I document the relative humidity with FLIR MR176  Moister Meter and date it for your insurance company.

Last but not least I strategically place air movers along with a dehumidifier through out your basement for 3 to 5 days to dry it out.
