Types of Carpet Cleaning Services that You Can Purchase

These are some of the most common types of carpet cleaning services you can purchase:

  1. Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)

Hot water extraction, commonly known as steam cleaning, involves spraying heated water mixed with cleaning agents onto the carpet. The solution is then extracted along with dirt and debris using a powerful vacuum. This method is effective for deep cleaning and removing stubborn stains.

  1. Dry Cleaning

Dry cleaning involves using minimal water and special cleaning compounds. The dry-cleaning method includes:

Bonnet Cleaning: A cleaning pad (bonnet) is immersed in a cleaning solution and attached to a machine that moves over the carpet. The pad absorbs dirt from the carpet fibers.

Dry Foam Cleaning: Foam is applied to the carpet and left to dry. Once dried, the foam and the dirt are vacuumed away.

Dry Compound Cleaning: A biodegradable cleaning compound is spread over the carpet, agitated into the fibers, and then vacuumed up, removing dirt and grime.

  1. Encapsulation Cleaning

Encapsulation involves applying a cleaning agent that crystallizes into powder form, encapsulating the dirt. Once the solution dries, the encapsulated dirt particles are vacuumed up. This method is preferred for its quick drying time and is often used in commercial settings.

  1. Shampooing

Carpet shampooing involves applying a foamy chemical to the carpet, scrubbing it with a brush, and then vacuuming it once it dries. This method can be effective for heavily soiled carpets but may leave residue if not properly rinsed.

  1. Carbonated Cleaning

This method uses carbonated water to lift dirt from the carpet fibers. The carbonation causes dirt to rise to the surface, where it is then extracted. It uses less water than steam cleaning and has a quicker drying time.

  1. Pet Odor and Stain Removal

Specialized services focus on removing pet odors and stains. These services use specific enzymes and deodorizers that break down pet urine, feces, and other organic matter.

  1. Carpet Protection Services

After cleaning, some companies offer carpet protection services that apply a protective layer to your carpet, helping to repel dirt and stains in the future.

  1. Green Cleaning

Eco-friendly or green cleaning services use environmentally safe and non-toxic cleaning agents. This method is suitable for households with children, pets, or allergy sufferers.

Choosing the right carpet cleaning service depends on your specific needs, the type of carpet you have, and any particular concerns such as stains, allergens, or odors.
