Hot Water Extraction the Preferred Method of Cleaning

There are many different cleaning methods used in the industry today. Many are effective, but hot water extraction performed correctly will clean a carpet more thoroughly and will remedy a wider variety of problems.

Hot Water Extraction (also known as Steam Cleaning ) is the method recommended by Carpet Manufacturers today. Today's carpets have very sophisticated twists to the yarns that scrubbing can distort and fuzz. Also, carpets are being made to last longer than ever, some as long as 25 years, because of this the major carpet mills state that Hot Water Extraction is to be used so as not to void your carpet's warranty. Some warranties will go as far as to require that certain cleaning agents be used and certified techs do the cleaning.

Keep Your Upholstery Looking New

To keep your furniture clean, it’s necessary to conduct routine maintenance, including periodic cleaning by a certified technician every 12 to 24 months. Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until severe soiling occurs before cleaning because the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the fabric's original color, appearance, and texture, and the greater adverse effect on indoor environmental quality. Upholstered furniture, in many cases, can contain a wider variety of soil than can be found in carpeting. Many of the contaminants in upholstery not only come from simple soil, but come directly from contact with human skin and animal fur. These soils contain high amounts of bodily secretions such as perspiration, dander, as well as skin and hair/fur oils. Therefore, keeping your upholstery clean is very important to maintaining a healthy home environment. Since upholstery can be made of more delicate fabrics, such as cotton, silk, and rayon, and can contain sensitive dyes, upholstery cleaning requires more advanced education to ensure quality results.

Stain protection can help

Stain protection like 3M Scotchgard Protector can help prevent or lessen 
the effects of acid dyes but keep in mind even protection like this can still be damaged by very aggressive spot cleaners. Carpet Protectors have a tolerance of up to a pH of 10. Most aggressive spotters have a pH of around 11, in order to remove the most common spots, children's fruit juices. These High pH spot cleaners can even begin to strip away protection that was applied at the carpet mill.

If the carpet does not have a high grade of stain protection the best case scenario is to leave the stain until it can be dealt with by a professional cleaning company. A professional will have special carpet treatments to suspend the spot so cleaning won't set it.
