It is easy to disregard the need for regular carpet cleaning since most of the time your carpets may appear to be free of dirt. Sure, there may be times where there is some staining here and there, but aside from these instances, we tend to believe that our carpets are clean. Those of us in the carpet industry are aware of just how dirty carpets can be. The truth is, most carpets provide a breeding ground for different kinds of creatures that cannot be easily seen with the naked eye.
Here are a few things you may not know about your carpet:
Dirt can settle deep into carpet.
Dirt and debris that gets into your home
can often settle into the depths and crevices of your carpet. Our carpet cleaning machines suck that dirt and debris out of your carpet to get it looking and feeling fresh again.
Indoor air quality can be up to 10 times worse than outdoor air quality.
The textiles in your home can absorb
different kinds of dirt and contaminants including living contaminants like germs and non-living contaminants like dust and debris. Every time you step on your carpet, an invisible cloud of contaminants goes up in the air. This means that having a dirty carpet also equates to having dirty air.
75% of people walk on carpets with dirty shoes.
Although this isn’t surprising, it’s an important thing to remember, as this is often the rationale behind why carpets get so dirty. Your carpets not only hold the dirt that your family brings in, but also the dirt that your guests bring in as well.
A carpet may hold up to 200,000 bacteria per square inch.
That is 4000 times more bacteria than
your toilet holds. Every carpet is different but cleaning maintenance is extremely important. The longer you have your carpets uncleaned, the more unclean your home becomes which puts your family’s health at risk.
Carpet Contaminants
Your carpet absorbs different sorts of contaminants for the length that it is laid out. These normally include food, drinks, dirt, smoke, skin cells, hair, and more. All these contaminants sink to the bottom of your carpet and start to rot which also gives your carpet a darker tone and may also give it a funky smell. The longer you neglect the dirt in your carpet, the worse it gets. What makes it more unsafe are the things that feed on these contaminants. Let’s go over them quickly.
Benefits of Carpet Cleanings
As we’ve already talked about the different contaminants that your carpets may have and how it contributes greatly to your family’s health, we can now talk about the different benefits that carpet cleaning has.
- Carpet cleaning prolongs the life of the carpet. Having your carpet properly cleaned and maintained will help increase its life significantly.
- Having your carpet cleaned also improves the indoor air quality. Since carpets tend to absorb everything around them, most especially airborne pollutants, having them cleaned can also improve the air around you.
- Carpet cleaning prevents the buildup of allergens and bacteria. Having bacteria regularly removed avoids these sicknesses from affecting your family.
- Carpet cleaning prevents allergies. Carpets can easily harbor different allergens and pollutants which may affect family members with different kinds of allergies. It is important to regularly have these cleaned to put your family at ease.
- Carpet cleaning removes the spots and stains in your carpet and enhances the overall appearance of your home. Clean and well-maintained carpets show guests that you have a very organized and clean home.
- Having clean carpets improves the overall mood and working morale of your home. Working feels better when you’re in an environment that is clean. Clean carpet is able to make your environment feel and smell fresh.
Carpet Cleaning Methods
There are many different ways to clean a carpet. Hot water extraction works better than the others, so Doctor Clean always cleans carpet with the hot water extraction cleaning method. Here are the types of cleaning methods:
Hot Water Extraction Cleaning
Hot water extraction cleaning, also known as steam carpet cleaning, uses high pressured hot water to clean the carpet fibers and dissolve the dirt existing in the carpet. This method usually involves the use of a cleaning agent that is then extracted out. The cleaning agent has to be given some time to settle and is then washed thoroughly. The carpet is then left to dry at room temperature. This is the most popular and the most effective
carpet cleaning method.
Carpet Shampooing
Carpet shampooing was probably the most popular cleaning method until the 70s. Shampooing a carpet can greatly clean a heavily soiled carpet, however, it tends to leave behind a high amount of water residue and may take a long time to dry. The carpet also tends to become a bit sticky after it dries as there is no rinsing involved. This is now one of the less common methods of
carpet cleaning.
Encapsulation
The foam encapsulation method uses synthetic detergents that crystallize into a powder when it dries. Loose dirt particles in your carpet will become encapsulated into a powder and will then be vacuumed or brushed off.
Bonnet Cleaning
Bonnet Cleaning is a good surface cleaning method since it involves cleaning the top part of the carpet fiber using a heavy-duty motorized machine with a spinning pad that has been soaked with a cleaning solution. This method is popular in hotels since this is a quick fix solution that can quickly dry carpets. Bonneting doesn’t really provide a deep clean and can cause some dirt to emerge back to the surface within a short period of time.
Dry Carpet Cleaning
Dry Carpet Cleaning is one of the newer carpet cleaning methods in the market. This method was invented in the 80s but a lot of people still doubt its effectiveness. In dry carpet cleaning, cleaning powder is applied to the bottom of the carpet using a rotating brush machine which creates a deep carpet cleaning result. The cleaning compound works somewhat like a micro-sponge that absorbs the dirt in the carpet and is then removed at the end of the cleaning process.
