Fresh, clean and dry carpet experience every time with Invest Cleaning!
Wet carpet and rug cleaning is a good way to increase the lifespan and maintain a healthy indoor environment. Their fibers hold termites and other allergens. Regular vacuuming can take care of loose dirt, pet hair, and other debris, but deep cleaning is essential to prevent the growth of fungi, bacteria, and mold.
Our wet carpet cleaning methods are;
Wet cleaning uses hot water extraction (HWE) and it also known as steam cleaning. The first step is applying a
pre-conditioning shampoo to the carpet. This helps to liquefy soil and oil-based stains. The machine sprays a
cleaning solvent onto the carpet and then sucks it back up along with all the dirt and allergens. It will take
between 12 and 24 hours to dry wet carpet using the right equipment and lift it up off the floor.
However, it will take two to four days if you house fans or don't lift it up. You should dry the carpet as
quickly as possible for two reasons. The dry cleaning method uses solutions and dry compounds to attract and
absorb dirt and grime. The process is not as labor-intensive as wet cleaning and is faster. One method is a low
moisture foaming system which separates the dirt from the carpet fiber and uses a powerful vacuum to remove both
the dirt and the solution.
Another method uses a dry cleaning compound which is spread on the carpet to absorb the dirt and then vacuumed up. Unfortunately, with this method, a residue may remain in the carpet. After several dry compound cleanings, another process may be required to eliminate the residue. With dry cleaning there is, of course, no lengthy drying time but the dry cleaning method is never as effective at removing deep-down dirt and stains in the carpet pile as wet cleaning.
And also should consider cleaning your carpet at least every 12 months to remove dirt, grime, and allergens. However, this schedule can vary depending on several factors in your household. If you have children or pets, you might shampoo your carpets more regularly. But if your carpet is wet then you have to clean that immediately.
