Carpet Cleaning Grand Junction

You are literally spoilt for choices when it comes to selecting a carpet cleaning company for your space. However, before that, you need to know the different carpet cleaning methods used by companies. This is because not all cleaning services are meant for you. Carpet Cleaning Grand Junction customizes its services as per your needs.

Here are the most common types of carpet cleaning in the market:

Hot Water Extraction Cleaning

Hot water extraction cleaning is also called steam carpet cleaning. It uses high-pressure hot water to stir the carpet fiber. This eventually dissolves dirt present in the carpet. After the cleaning agent settles on your carpet for a small period of time, the carpet is washed using washing equipment.

This rinses the cleaning agent completely and is dried in air condition temperature.

A carpeted office of approximately 3000 sq ft will take about 2 hours to clean and 4 hours to dry. Cleaning companies usually advise you to get the carpet cleaned late in the afternoon. This gives the carpet ample time to dry overnight and be used the next day.

Carpet Shampooing

The process of Shampoo carpet cleaning was in trend until the ‘encapsulation’ technology was introduced back in the 1970s. You may think that shampooing your carpet will remove a great deal of soil. However, technology comes with a disadvantage.

It leaves behind lots of wet foam in the carpet that takes very long to dry. The carpet becomes sticky after it dries since it was not rinsed properly.

Thus, this method of cleaning is not very popular among companies these days.

Encapsulation

The foam encapsulation method mainly utilizes ‘synthetic detergents’ as its main base. This subsequently crystallizes into a powdered form after drying. Loose dirt particles in your carpet fiber get encapsulated into powder after the cleaning foam dries.

This cleaning technique has become more popular than carpet shampooing. This is because the former uses less water and has a shorter drying time compared to the latter.

Form encapsulation cleaning is a favorite for people who support using eco-friendly products. They leave behind fewer chemical remains as compared to shampoo cleaning.

Though this cleaning has shown good results, it may not remove too much soil since the technology is limited.

Bonnet Cleaning

Bonnet cleaning produces good results for surface cleaning. The process involves cleaning the top section of the carpet fiber using a motorized heavy-duty machine with a spinning pad. The pad is dipped in a cleaning solution to absorb all the dirt from the surface.

The process is popular in hotels as it gives a quick solution to carpet cleaning in public areas with heavy traffic. The carpet is cleaned without too much moisture and dries quickly. This is quite good for hotel guests.

Bonneting is not suitable for deep cleaning carpets. Thus, the dirt below the carpet would come back to the surface in a short time. The process also collects chemical residue in the carpet. Pressure released from the heavy machine on the spinning pad pushes the remaining dirt and chemical applied into the carpet.

Dry Carpet Cleaning Grand Junction

Compound cleaning or dry carpet cleaning is one of the latest cleaning processes in the market. It has gained a lot of approvals and popularity from carpet manufacturers. This is due to its ease and cleaning performance. Moreover, it does not require any cleaning time.

Dry carpet cleaning technology was only invented in the 1980s. There are several kinds of cleaning powders or compounds that have come on the market. Since this technology is quite new, as compared to other methods, people still doubt its effectiveness.

The main benefit of this process is cleaning powder or a brush machine. It opens the carpet fiber and allows the compound to settle. This provides a deep carpet cleaning result and is applied to the bottom of the carpet. This is done using a counter-rotating moto

Cleaning compounds are made up of biodegradable materials that work like micro-sponges. They effectively absorb dirt from the carpet. It can be removed after the cleaning process ends.

Manufacturers of carpet cleaning equipment separate themselves by creating their own cleaning powders or compound formula. They customize their equipment function and design.
