Before you
try to clean that carpet spot
yourself...
Retail carpet spotting
products can actually do more harm than good. Improper
cleaning techniques can not only damage carpet fibers they can
also set stains or remove the color from your carpet.
Example of a pet accident that a homeowner attempted to clean themselves
Remember the difference
between a spot and a stain is often only a matter of how long
it has been allowed to remain on the carpet. If an oops, eewww
or OHMYGAWD lands on your carpet or upholstery place a damp,
white
towel over the spot to keep it from drying and call us
promptly.

Carpet Cleaning
Terminology:
Steam cleaning (
in terms of carpet cleaning) : This term is a is
incorrect. Only amateurs use this term. True
Professionals know that steam is
not a good
cleaning medium. Steam is a vapor and vapors can not
hold anything. Therefore it can not remove soil from a
carpet.
Hot water extraction,
HWE, or Extraction : This is the process most often
refered to as "Steam Cleaning". A pre-spray detergent is
sprayed onto the carpet an raked in. It is then left to
dwell for 10-15 minutes. The pre-spray and supended soil
are then rinsed out of the carpet using some form of
extraction equipment.
Shampooing: This
term is often misused for Hot water extraction (HWE). To
shampoo a carpet you apply the pre-spray like you would
for HWE. Let dwell. You then take a low speed
floor machine w/ a
carpet shampooing brush attached and solution
tank. Fill solution tank with diluted carpet shampoo and
run over the carpet as you would for floor scrubbing.
Dispense shampoo as needed to work up a lather. You then
extract/ rinse with HWE equipment. Extraction is a must,
as shampooing is a very wet method of carpet cleaning.
Restoration use only!
