There are a number of different carpet cleaning methods available, the method which is most suitable depends a great deal on the circumstances; how much traffic the carpets are subjected to, whether there are kids and pets in the home or whether anyone has allergies. Although these are important considerations when deciding on what carpet cleaners Twin Cities it is also important that the material the carpet is made from is compatible with the cleaning method. With these variables it is easy to see why many people elect to hire professional carpet cleaning services rather than take on the task as a DIY project. Carpet cleaners Twin Cities commonly offer five different methods; dry, shampoo, foam, bonnet and steam cleaning. Although all these methods are different it is important that the carpets be given a very good vacuuming before any work commences.
Shampooing is thought to be the least effective method. Special detergents are put on the carpet and the detergent is then agitated and then extracted with a vacuum. When the job is done the carpets may look and smell better because the detergent includes brighteners and deodorizers but as much of the dirt is left in the carpet, reappearing in a short time.
In many cases a dry shampoo is used. In this method a power is liberally sprinkled on the carpet and worked into the fibers. This powder acts like a dirt magnet, once it is worked in and vacuumed up the carpet is quite clean and can be walked on immediately.
Foam carpet cleaners are a bit of both shampooing and dry cleaning. Only a minimal amount of water is used and the dirt in the carpet adheres to the foam. Once the foam is worked into the carpet with a machine, a thorough vacuuming will rid the carpet of most of the dirt, water and detergent.
The approach employed in many commercial buildings is the bonnet method. This method works best on short fiber carpet which is made for industrial use; it does not work well for the carpets in a normal home which have longer fibers. This method uses a chemical detergent which is sprayed on the carpet and an absorbent pad on a rotary machine extracts the dirt.
The best carpet cleaners Twin Cities use steam cleaning or what is sometimes called hot water extraction. A solution of a water softener and hot water is injected deep into the carpet pile and then extracted by the powerful suction of the same machine; the carpets are left looking and smelling like new.
Carpet cleaners Twin Cities use a patented hot water extraction system which removes dirt and bacteria without using chemicals or soap. If you are looking for gentle but effective carpet cleaning you are invited to call Steamatic of the Twin Cities.
