Carpet cleaning isn’t as an easy job as it seems like at a first glance – anyone who tried to clean their carpets before knows that. Let’s see what does it take to do a proper carpet cleaning?

Professional hoover

The first step of the carpet cleaning is dry soil removal. As a result, a professional and powerful hoover is one of the most important things to have

when it comes to carpet cleaning. The right hoover needs to have rotary brush – this type of brush helps to reach deep inside the carpet pile and brush up all dry soil. It’s also a must to have a powerful suction to remove all the soil that’s been brought up to the surface.

There are other features that are useful to have to achieve the best results. Some hoovers have activated charcoal integrated into the filter to remove odour – a wonderful addition especially for households with pets. A searchlight is another great extra to have. This may seem unnecessary during the day, but it couldn’t be farther from the truth. It helps to see all dirt and spot on the carpet, even in the darker areas of the room.

 

 

 

 

Professional carpet cleaning machines

Jumping ahead of the process, the last step is having professional carpet cleaning machine.

There are variety of carpet cleaners, of which more and more are becoming available for domestic use. One of the commonly used carpet cleaner machines is the Rug Doctor range. Those are really good beginner machines, but still far behind from their commercial big brothers.

Why are commercial ones so different?

  • Since domestic use carpet cleaners don’t have heater element, they can’t heat up the water to the optimal temperature. As a result, they are less effective compared to the commercial machines.
  • Household carpet cleaners have built-in brushes – which are not as effective as the agitating brushes that professionals have. These agitating brushes  powerfully brush through the carpet, lifting up the carpet and all the dirt from it – way more effectively than the built-in brushes do.
  • Last but not least, commercial carpet cleaners have significantly better suction than the domestic ones. For comparison, a Prochem carpet cleaner is at least 5x more powerful than the Rug Doctor.

 

 

Professional carpet cleaning chemicals

 

Carpet cleaning is largely about chemicals and knowledge, not just about the machines you have. This may sound controversial, especially because all we’ve talked about before is how important it is to have proper hoover and carpet cleaner machine. Both statements are true. Yes, it is really important to have strong machines with

powerful suction to remove dirt. However, even if you don’t have the best hoover and carpet cleaner, you can still achieve great results. How? By simply having professional chemicals that are able to tackle the dirt in high traffic areas, and able to remove spots and stains. And by simply knowing which chemical to use and how to use it on a certain spot. Without knowing them, stains won’t come out even if you have the best of best machines.

Professional carpet cleaners have wide range of chemicals. As a result, they can effectively remove spots & stains, carbon, grease, oil, paint, makeup, soot, rubber and deeply ingrained soils.

 

 

After briefly going through on each sections of the carpet cleaning “art”, we came to the original conclusion: carpet cleaning isn’t as an easy job as it seems like at a first glance.

As mentioned above, carpet cleaning really is an art and profession that requires proper equipment, skills and experience – just like any other job does. So, save yourself the hassle and call the experts – we’d love to help!
