When you buy a carpet or a rug for your home, you’d like to keep it clean and fresh for as long as possible. This includes keeping the rug healthy healthy! What does health have to do with area rugs? Most people do not know that carpets and rugs can also harbor disease and allergy causing micro-organisms. This can severely impact the health of your family. That’s why you need professional rug cleaners. Los Angeles Carpet Cleaning Experts are just the people you are looking for.
Our trained personnel in rug cleaning in Los Angeles, CA look beyond the typical ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. The cleaning methods we use vary depending on a number of factors. We take into account how much foot traffic is endured, the presence of children and pets in the house, and whether anybody in your household is allergic to a particular cleaning agent.
In addition, we also have to consider the material your rug is made of in order to ensure minimal damage and prolong its life. This is why homeowners are advised not to clean carpets and rugs themselves and rely on the expertise of Los Angeles rug cleaning professionals instead.
There are five methods that are used by most professionals to clean your carpets and rugs – dry cleaning, shampooing, bonnet cleaning, steam cleaning, and foam cleaning. Let’s understand each of these methods in detail.
- Shampooing: In this process, special detergents are applied to the rug or carpet and agitated with the help of a machine designed especially for cleaning carpets. In the final stages the shampoo is extracted by vacuuming. When it comes to area rug cleaning, Los Angeles Carpet Cleaning Experts do not recommend shampooing. It doesn’t remove the dust and micro-organisms entirely. In fact, of the five, it is possibly the least effective method, even if it does leave your carpet looking and smelling nice.
- Dry Cleaning: Dry cleaning, on the other hand, is a much better method because you aren’t required to wet the carpet and wait for it to dry. A special powder is applied deep into the carpet which attracts dirt, dust, and grime like a magnet. The powder is then removed with the help of a powerful vacuum cleaner.
- Foam Cleaning: Foam cleaning is a combination of dry cleaning and shampooing. By using a small amount of foam detergent and water, professional cleaners are able to get rid of the soil deeply embedded in the carpet. In the final stages, the foam detergent applied into the carpet is extracted with a vacuum cleaner.
- Bonnet Cleaning: Bonnet cleaning is a technique that is especially reserved for rugs in commercial and industrial buildings. As a technique of cleaning, it focuses more on restoring and maintaining the appearance of rugs than cleaning it.
- Steam Cleaning: Steam cleaning is also known as hot water extraction. As professional rug cleaners, Los Angeles Carpet Cleaning Experts highly recommend this method since it is the most effective. To begin with, a solution of detergent and hot water is applied to the carpet which is extracted using a very powerful machine. Not only does the carpet look nice and smell fresh, steam cleaning also gets rid of the dust, soil, grime and microbes hiding in it.
