Types Of Carpet Cleaning

There are several types of carpet cleaning methods commonly used by professional carpet cleaners. Primary methods include:

Types Of Carpet Cleaning - Carpet Cleaning McKinney, Frisco

1. Steam Cleaning or Hot Water Extraction: These methods involve using heated water mixed with cleaning detergents and injecting it into the carpet fibres. The carpet is sometimes agitated to loosen dirt, and vacuumed to extract the water, loosened dirt and cleaning solution. Hot water extraction is effective for deep cleaning and removing embedded dirt and allergens however it often leaves more moisture/residue and typically takes longer to dry. True steam cleaning is rarely used due to the extreme heat and potential effects on carpet fibres and is often a misnomer in place of hot water extraction as a descriptor even in brand-name providers.

2. Low Moisture / Dry Cleaning: Low moisture cleaning methods (not to be confused with chemical dry cleaning) typically use heavy-duty vacuums and our all-natural, citrus-based cleaning solution along with an additional agitation step to obtain a more aggressive cleaning that leaves your carpet dry in just one hour. The exclusive cleaning solution loosens the last bit of stubborn and bonded debris from the carpet fibres and is absorbed by agitation and drying pads to reduce residue, excess moisture, and mold.

3. Bonnet Cleaning: Bonnet cleaning is a surface cleaning method that involves using a rotary machine with an attached cleaning “bonnet”. The bonnet spins on the carpet surface, agitating and absorbing dirt and stains. This method is often used for routine maintenance or to remove surface-level dirt and stains and may leave more moisture and residue than other low-moisture methods.

4. Encapsulation Cleaning: In encapsulation cleaning, a specialized cleaning solution is applied to the carpet, which forms tiny crystals around the dirt particles. The crystals are then vacuumed or brushed away, leaving the carpet clean. This method is known for its quick drying time and is often used in commercial settings.

5. Shampooing: Shampooing involves applying a foamy shampoo to the carpet and agitating it to create a lather. Dirt and stains are then extracted using a wet vacuum or rinsed away with water. Shampooing was a popular method in years past but is less commonly used today due to more advanced cleaning techniques.

It’s important to note that the suitability of each method depends on factors such as the carpet type, level of soiling, and specific cleaning requirements. Heaven’s Best uses low moisture cleaning for a variety of reasons including fast dry times, eco-friendliness, minimal residue and the ability to address tough stains.

Bill with Heavens best is a true wonder! We have used him multiple times over the years- Every single time what he produced exceeded our expectations. This gentleman will discuss your best options and go out of his way to help anyone out- We recently has a accident with 3 large dogs being locked inside on accident! The mess was huge, my wife was upset. After Bill came by Thursday we let him have full access to house and that night the carpets were spotless and the next day house smelt wonderful- thanks bill! You are our go to guy....

Shane gave our 40 year old carpet some life back. Wish I would have taken a before and after picture, but least to say I wont be embarrassed by our dingy, stained carpet at our Christmas party this year thanks to Shane. Would highly recommend!
