Carpet Shampoo Cleaning and Dry Carpet
Cleaning: Pros and Cons.
Everyone who uses a carpet at home comes across
the task of carpet cleaning sometime or the
other. There are two main ways to do this,
either shampoo your carpet or dry clean it.
Let us have a look at the pros and cons of both
these methods of carpet cleaning:
1. Shampooing Method:
The method of shampoo cleaning is old and
traditional. This method uses a carpet cleaner
shampoo or a solution on the carpet to form
foam. The solution is left to dry for an hour
and when it dries up, the solution becomes
brittle and the remains can be collected by
vacuum.
Advantages of Shampoo cleaning:
Shampoo cleaning is the most common method to
clean a carpet because it does not require any
professional help. All you need is a vacuum
cleaner and a carpet shampoo.
Shampoo cleaning is the most economical way to
carpet cleaning as carpet cleaning shampoos are
cheaper than chemicals used for dry cleaning.
Disadvantages of Shampoo cleaning:
Mostly, shampoo cleaning is done by soaking the
carpet completely and then working up lather
with a carpet shampoo. A major crisis when
shampooing is that you wet your carpet
excessively and the water seeps into the backing
of the carpet and its pad. This may cause
permanent damage to your carpet. Excess water
can also prolong the drying time which may cause
mold.
Since shampooing process is based on using a
shampoo, it is not easy to rinse away all the
shampoo. If the smallest amount of shampoo is
left on the carpet, it will be exposed to dust
and dirt particles and will attract them.
Most shampooers use either rotating or
stationary brushes. Stationary brushes do not
wear out the carpet excessively but the cleaning
effect is not as good as rotating brushes which
are more effective in removing dirt, but are
harsh on your carpets.
2. Dry Carpet Cleaning:
The other way to clean a carpet is the dry
cleaning method. As the name suggests this
method does not use water for cleaning. The dry
cleaning systems use a powder solvent that is
applied to the carpet. Then, a rotating brush is
used to spread the solvent everywhere on the
carpet to clean the carpet. Finally, dust is
vacuumed from the carpet with the help of a
machine.
The following are some of the dry carpet
cleaning process.
Dry foam method.
In this kind of cleaning the chemical is sprayed
on the carpet and then brushed with a rotary
machine containing an absorbent cloth which can
be changed changes every time it gets dirty.
This method requires little drying time because
of low uptake of moisture. It is generally
effective but does not adequately remove the
sand and dust that can damage the carpet because
there is no rinsing action or deep cleaning.
Dry powder method.
In this method, a dried product (in either
powder or grains) is placed on the carpet and a
circular brush makes the product contact the
dirt on the carpet. This product then dissolves
the grease and oil on the carpet and the
granules absorb it. The carpet is later
vacuumed.
It also does a good job of cleaning but does
little to remove dirt that lies at the base of
the carpet. Its weakness is the extraction of
the granules of the chemical which, if not
removed, can degenerate the carpet over time.
Advantages of dry cleaning:
Dry cleaning method is fast and there is no need
to dry the carpet after cleaning. This is
because water is not used here.
Disadvantages of dry cleaning:
The downside of dry cleaning is that the powder
becomes sticky after a certain period and this
attracts dirt and soil easily to get the carpet
dirty.
Also, the chemical used to remove the dirt may
be difficult to remove completely.
Armed with this knowledge on the methods to
clean your carpet, you can make a wise decision
while deciding the method you want to use for
cleaning your carpet. It is quite logical to
think about your resources and requirement
before going for either of the methods.
