The method experts clean carpets has altered over the past few years with the introduction of natural ecologically green chemicals as well as agitation of pre sprays and pre spotters.
Prochem continue to be probably industry leaders investing thousands of pounds every year to meet British Standards Approval. There are also new manufacturers in the market place offering green chemicals. Although green eco chemicals do normally cost more to purchase, in my view these are well worth it. They smell nice, clean well and especially friendly to the environment which is so important for our next generations.
The majority of professional carpet cleaners who work within the domestic market use what’s called hot water extraction, normally called steam cleaning. Steam is actually not produced as it would certainly damage the carpet fibres and probably the carpet backing, especially if it had been a woven type like an Axminster or Wilton.
Another change is the agitation of pre sprays or pre spotters, currently you buy an expensive machine called a SEBO DUO. Generally cost around 200, the Duo is used as a substitute for manual agitation by pile brush. The massive advantage for the cleaner is that it saves your back. You can also use the Sebo Duo like a form of dry carpet cleaning, powdered chemicals are spread across the carpet and then the machine is used to sink the chemical deep in in the carpets fibres. Then the broken down soil particles are vacuumed up leaving your carpet nice and dirt free. This is good as a way of maintenance following hot water extraction.
With regards to hot water extraction the professional can either use a portable or truck mount machine. With either machine an extended hose and flexible pipe is fixed the machine, on the other end a wand is used. The wand injects cleaning mixture in to the carpet by pressing a trigger and at the same instance the wand vacuums up the dirt which is sucked up through the hose into a tank on top of the machine.
A portable machine is usually a much less costly alternative than truck mounted, but with a truck mount you have got to be able to park on the properties drive. In England this is more or less impossible so a truck mount is not much use.
