Steam Cleaning Your Carpets
This has become the most popular type of carpet cleaning. It is also known as Hot Water Extraction (HWE).
The most common method of HWE is to prespray the carpet with a cleaning solution then agitate the solution into the carpet. If the carpet is not very dirty, the agitation step may be skipped. The cleaning solution is often allowed to dwell (5 to 20 minutes) on the carpet. Then the carpet is rinsed with water or with a water and a neutralizing chemical. Carpet Pre spray is usually done with a powerful cleaner. It is mixed into a sprayer and then sprayed lightly in the cleaner areas and heavier on traffic lanes and dirty areas of the carpet.
Spot Cleaning of Carpets.
Often something will be spilled on the a carpet that will cause a spot. Coffee, Coke, Mustard, Koolaid, and any food will usually create a spot.
Markers, Ink, paint, cosmetics, and Grease are a different type of spot that usually needs a different spotter to clean.
Red Stains are some of the toughest stains to get up. If the dye is hard set into an unprotected carpet you will probably not be able to get a red stain out.
VLM Definition
Very Low Moisture cleaning normally refers to cleaning a carpet with either a 175 rpm floor buffer, a Cimex, or an OP (Oscillating Pad) machine.
Vacuum More Often.
Carpet is a great air filter. Dust and dirt will naturally be caught in the fibers of carpet. Regular vacuuming will remove a lot of this dirt. A lot of this dirt will fall through the carpet and not come back up. Have you ever noticed how you do not get the Dust bunnies floating around on a carpeted floor but you will get dust bunnies forming after just a day or two if you have hard surface floors. The carpet absorbs dust and if you do not vacuum regularly it will end up in the carpet.
