Carpet Cleaning

Carpets should be professionally cleaned every 12-18 months on average, more frequently in high-traffic areas There are several methods of professional carpet cleaning:

• Hot water extraction (steam cleaning): This method uses hot water and cleaning agents to dislodge dirt and stains from carpet fibers. The water and dirt are then extracted back out by powerful suction. This is considered the most thorough and effective carpet cleaning method.
• Dry cleaning: This involves applying a dry-cleaning compound to the carpet with a machine brush to agitate dirt and stains. The compound is then vacuumed up along with the loosened dirt. This leaves carpets dry and ready to use faster than steam cleaning.
• Bonnet cleaning: This uses an absorbent pad or bonnet on a rotary floor machine to scrub carpet fibers with cleaning solution. The bonnet absorbs dirt as it is spun across carpet.
