What is the difference between different carpet cleaning methods?
The Montreal Carpet Cleaners can claim to be the best carpet cleaning company on the market today and we are extremely proud of that in this field of professional carpet and rug cleaning. All cleaning companies naturally claim to be the best and if they don’t say why, then they should be questioned. In as much as we maintain that our company The Montreal Carpet Cleaners is the best in its class and we want to justify that statement by stating how we are better than our competitors and how we are better.
There are two basic types of carpet cleaners available today: steam cleaning and dry cleaning. Both of these types of cleaning use the hot water extraction process and the rotary cup cleaning method.
Steam cleaning method
This cleaning method is probably the most widely used at present and the most common. The process works as follows. The technician uses his truck equipped with water and electricity sources to clean the carpets by means of a particularly hot water jet.
This process aims to remove dirt and stains from the carpet using hot water. Then, the maids cleaners uses a machine capable of removing the water from the surface of the carpet and vacuuming the dirt and stains. In theory, this method of cleaning carpets may seem satisfactory, but it has a few drawbacks. First, wetting a carpet is a bad idea and most of the time the carpet sinks into the water. In fact, water can and usually does get into the carpet padding. This can cause the water to become trapped in the padding, and the risk of mold or mildew growth on the carpet can greatly increase as a result.
Another disadvantage to this method is that not all the water can be vacuumed out, or not enough time is allowed for extraction and the carpet is left wet for a long period of time. This can lead to the spread of mold and pests and is a real danger to you and your family on a daily basis. Because of the water still on the carpet and the fact that dirt and stains have been loosened from the surface of the fabric, the stains stick to the carpet and can sink into it. And when the carpet is dry, all the stains begin to reappear.
Dry cleaning method
Dry cleaning is a method of carpet washing offered by several carpet cleaning companies, which compete with The Montreal Carpet Cleaners. Unlike steam cleaning, which requires the use of large amounts of water to destroy stains and force them out, the dry cleaning method requires little to no liquid cleaning products and involves dry cleaning carpets using a scrubbing system. Dry cleaning uses little or no liquid. Dry cleaning uses little or no liquid and relies on a scrubbing system. Dry cleaning uses a machine called a “spinning cap” to break up the stains on the carpet and vacuum them away afterwards. The concept is interesting in theory, yet if you look closely, you will notice significant imperfections.
There are several drawbacks to this professional carpet cleaner, and they have to do with the machine itself. Floor cleaning brushes are well suited for cleaning tiles and grout, hard floors and linoleum. However, due to the depth of the carpet layer, the brushes cannot clean the entire carpet and have to make do with a downward scrubbing motion. Due to this downward rubbing movement, the carpet can only be cleaned superficially, the fibers are compressed and the dirt and stains are pushed further out.
As a result, and due to the compression of the fibers and the downward rubbing, the dirt can only be removed superficially and the fibers are compressed deeper into the carpet and the stains remain inside. As a result, these dirt and stains remain on the carpet and when the carpet has to be picked up after cleaning because of the compression, the dirt gradually reappears and the carpet can no longer be cleaned. This does not meet your customers’ expectations of carpet cleaning services.
This cleaning method is capable of washing the surface of the rug but fails to provide a thorough and complete cleaning.
