Cleaning
a carpet
can be tricky, and sometimes you take a long time vacuuming up a
storm and still
end
up with slightly dirty carpets.
The following are tried-and-tested methods that you can follow to
give your trusty ole carpet some TLC:
Hot
Water Extraction. Though
sometimes referred to as steam-cleaning, this method doesn't actually
require the use of steam. Instead, a machine will spray hot water
onto your carpet to loosen up particles of dirt and soil, and then
follow it with thorough vacuuming to remove them.
Dry
Extraction. Similar
to the first method, dry extraction involves the brushing of powdered
detergent on to the carpet using a machine; dirt particles including
dust mites and mold spores will then attach to these dry chemicals,
making it easier to vacuum them all off.
Foam
Extraction. Instead
of hot water and powdered detergent, foam is used to get rid of the
dirt and dust particles.
Rotary
Shampoo. A
relatively older method, it involves the use of a rotary machine with
brushes attached to the base. A shampoo solution is poured through
the brushes, which will then be run across the surface of the carpet
before it is vacuumed while still wet.
Absorbent-pad
method. Also
referred to as the “bonnet method,” this process involves the use
of a rotary floor machine to which an absorbent bonnet dipped in
cleaning solution is attached. This will then be able to collect the
dirt from the carpet.
