Keeping your carpets clean can be challenging, especially during the colder months when mud, dirt, and other debris are regularly tracked in and out. Some carpet cleaning methods involve mild cleaning, while others are a much better option for removing heavy debris and ground-in dirt. The experts at Carpet Care 2000 have provided the following information regarding the different carpet cleaning methods and their recommendations on the best options for your home or business.

Best Way to Clean Carpets Professionally

Steam Carpet Cleaning: Steam cleaning, often referred to as hot water extraction, is the most effective carpet cleaning option. It removes over 90% of dirt and allergy-causing bacteria. Just as the name implies, hot water extraction uses hot water at high pressure to loosen dirt and debris before it is whisked away. Steam also softens carpet fibers leaving them clean and fresh.
Dry Carpet Cleaning: Dry carpet cleaning is an excellent option for a commercial setting because it has less downtime to ensure that your carpets are ready for use as soon as possible. Dry carpet cleaning uses a specialty detergent applied with a little water. A machine with rotating brushes is used to force the detergent into the fibers before extracting all traces of the loosened dirt and debris.
Carpet Shampooing: Carpet shampooing uses a small amount of detergent combined with lots of water and rotating brushes to loosen dirt. Clean water is then used to remove the shampoo residue.
Foam Carpet Cleaning: Foam carpet cleaning, also referred to as encapsulation, is often used for especially dirty carpets. Once the foam is applied it will expand to trap dirt, allowing the dirt and grime to float to the surface of the carpet, where it is removed using steam extraction
Bonnet Cleaning: Bonnet cleaning uses a machine that has a thick towel over the front, hence the name bonnet. The towel or bonnet applies a layer of shampoo and scrubs the carpet fibers’ surface before it is extracted to remove dirt.

Best Carpet Cleaning Method

The experts at Carpet Care 2000 can guide you on the best carpet cleaning method for your home or business. Hot water extraction is an excellent option for homeowners with family members who suffer from allergies. Steam destroys germs, mold, bacteria before the specialized commercial equipment whisks away all traces of dirt to leave your carpets clean and fresh. Dry carpet cleaning is the best and most effective option for commercial settings and busy homes with constant foot traffic as the dry time is much faster than hot water extraction. However, dry carpet cleaning often produces a strong smell, so you will need to ensure that your home is appropriately ventilated. In commercial settings, carpets are often cleaned after employees have gone home for the day to allow any odors to dissipate before the next workday.
