Having your carpet and upholstery periodically cleaned by a professional contractor has many potential benefits. Most obviously, it improves the carpet or upholstery’s immediate appearance. Beyond that, a deep cleaning will also help extend the carpet or upholstery’s life. Finally, a thorough cleaning of carpet and upholstery will help provide relief to residents suffering from allergies or other respiratory problems.
The three most common types of carpet cleaning methods are hot water extraction, encapsulation cleaning, and dry powder or dry extraction cleaning. Hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, involves a detergent applied with a portable sprayer which is then agitated into the carpet with a small brush. Encapsulation cleaning employs a special encapsulation cleaning solution that bonds to the soil in the carpet. This forms tiny crystals that can then be vacuumed up. Dry powder cleaning, like encapsulation cleaning, also involves working a special solution into the carpet, which then forms a dirt-containing medium that can be vacuumed up.
