Professional carpet cleaning

Hiring professional carpet cleaning companies is necessary in order to maintain expensive carpets. Cleaning increases the beauty, look and life of the carpet. All the companies providing carpet cleaning services come under a single authority called Institute of inspection cleaning and restoration certification (IICRC). This authority has set some standards for the modern professional carpet cleaning.

A very common way of cleaning the carpet is High pressure cleaning with the help of steam which includes application of a pre conditioner, scrubbing with a brush and then extracting the dirt with the help of highly pressurized hot water which makes steam. The dirt comes out with the steam. The carpets are then dried with the help of huge fans. Another common way of carpet cleaning is dry cleaning in which a biodegradable adsorbent compound is applied with the help of a brush applicator or a sprayer over the carpet and then scrubbed. This compound encapsulates dirt which is then extracted with the help of vacuum. Dry cleaning is always better for cleaning the carpets because it increases the appearance and life of the carpet.

Cleaning agents like oxalic acid, ammonia, turpentine oil and chloroform etc are used to remove stains from the carpet. Steam Cleaners are available in the market which can be purchased for routine cleaning of the carpets in offices and residences but they can clean only the surface of the carpet. Expensive carpets should be given to the professional carpet cleaners, every 6 months to maintain their colour and life.
