Choosing the right carpet cleaning method for your home

Selecting the appropriate carpet cleaning method for your home involves considering factors like carpet material, level of soiling, and your preferences. Common methods include:

1. Steam Cleaning (Hot Water Extraction): Ideal for deep cleaning, it uses hot water and cleaning

solution injected into the carpet and then extracted, removing dirt and stains effectively.

2. Dry Cleaning: This method uses minimal moisture and specialized cleaning powders or compounds to clean carpets without water. It’s suitable for delicate carpets or areas where quick drying is essential.

3. Bonnet Cleaning: It involves a rotating brush and cleaning solution to agitate the carpet’s surface. It’s a surface-level cleaning method and may not be suitable for deep-seated stains.

4. Shampooing: Using a foamy solution, this method cleans the carpet by scrubbing the surface. However, it might leave behind residues and could require longer drying times.

Consider your carpet’s specific needs, the severity of stains, and your schedule for drying time when choosing the right method. It’s advisable to test a small area first, especially for DIY solutions, to ensure compatibility with your carpet type.
