There are six basic methods of carpet cleaning. Each method has its own advantages as well as disadvantages, and can be used under different circumstances. The carpet cleaning company you choose should offer you the one that is most suitable for you if it uses a variety. However, it may specialize in a specific method.
A Brief Look at Each Method
1) Hot Water Extraction
This is the most popular one because the heat makes it more effective than the others. Also called "steam carpet cleaning", this method uses high-pressured hot water mixed with a cleaning agent to disturb the carpet's fibers. The soil/dirt is dissolved then rinsing takes place.
2) Encapsulation
In this method, a solution is sprayed into the carpet. A machine is then used to brush the solution into the fibers where it will be left to dry, causing the solution to crystallize. The carpet must then be dry cleaned at a later date to remove the encapsulated particles.
3) Carpet shampooing/Rotary Shampooing
When shampooing, a carpet cleaning agent and water are placed in the machine's tank. The machine's shower-feed system then sends the chemical mixture into the brush so that the carpet can be evenly coated with it. The mixture is deposited into the carpet in the form of a foam.
4) Bonnet Cleaning/Absorbent Pads
For this method, the pads or bonnets are saturated with a cleaning agent then attached to a rotary machine. The combination works to disturb then absorbed the soil/dirt out of the carpet.
5) Dry Foam
For this carpet cleaning method, foam is applied by a machine to cover the carpet. The foam absorbs the soil and is then extracted by the same machine.
6) Absorbent Compound
The compound used can be synthetic or natural. For the best results, the carpet should be vacuumed and a prespray applied. The carpet cleaning compound must then be applied (in most cases it is sprinkled on carpet and brushed in using a rotary machine). Post vacuuming is then used to remove the compound along with the soil.
