Carpet Cleaning Equipment and Machines
Carpets made from natural fibres have different cleaning requirements to carpets made from synthetic fibres. Using the incorrect carpet cleaning equipment or detergents can damage the pile of the carpet and cause it to become misshapen. Read the care instruction for on your carpet before attempting any cleaning as well as the operations manual for the machine you want to use to ensure that they are compatible. Carpets that can only be dry cleaned may have to be sent to a dry cleaning service provider or be cleaned by a team of professionals.
Most carpet cleaners use water and detergent that is injected into the carpet to begin the cleaning process. These detergents are designed to act quickly and draw dirt out of the pile and the under felt so that no soaking is necessary. Brushes underneath the carpet cleaning equipment scrub away grime and dirt that is hard to remove and further pushes the detergent into the carpet. The carpet cleaner should have a vacuum function that will suck up the dirty water and detergent once the carpet has been cleaned. This will allow for a quicker drying time as well as help any residue from rising while the carpet dries.
Carpets where water and detergents are not suitable for use can be cleaned using a dry foam equivalent. Such a method only injects foam onto the carpet, preventing it from becoming too wet and damaging the pile. Scrubbers then massage the foam into the fibres cleaning and removing any trapped and ingrained dirt. It is imperative to vacuum all carpets once they have been cleaned and are dry to remove any residue or detergent that may still be present.
