The normal carpet in a home is vacuumed a few times every week and this goes on week after week. Over time dirt, grime and stains will take their toll and professionals who do carpet cleaning in Cypress TX have to be brought in to completely rejuvenate the carpet.
There are three basic methods of carpet cleaning in Cypress TX; carpet shampooing, dry powder, and steam cleaning.
Carpet shampoos must use very stable foam which provides a lubricant, in this way the brushes do not harm the fibers and it must not leave a sticky residue when it’s dry. Carpet cleaners use shampoo because as the foam dries the dirt is attracted to it and the results are simply vacuumed up. Unfortunately, most shampoos do not do the best of jobs because shampoos are not good detergents, they simply hide the dirt. The shampoo may also contain chemicals which make the carpet look clean and bright, however the carpet soon develops a yellow cast which cannot be removed.
Dry powder carpet cleaning in Cypress TX uses an absorbent material which includes small traces of water, solvent and detergent. This is sprinkled on and worked into the carpet with a machine. The machine agitates the dry cleaner throughout the carpet; it in turn attracts and absorbs soil. The soil dislodged by the dry cleaning will be vacuumed up. A very thorough vacuuming is needed to get all the powder from the carpet otherwise the quality of the indoor air can be compromised. Dry cleaning has the advantage of no drying time so it is often used in high traffic areas where more frequent cleaning is needed.
Another method of carpet cleaning in Cypress TX is hot water extraction. This method is the preferred method and recommended by nearly all carpet manufacturers. A fine spray of hot water is sprayed onto the carpet which forces the dirt up and out, it is then immediately extracted with a high suction vacuum. Although the system is referred to as steam cleaning, live steam is not used. Carpet cleaners spray a solution of water and detergent into the pile of the carpet and then pull it out by vacuum. This process can be done by using an extraction unit mounted on a truck left outside the home or a portable system which is brought into the home. The truck mounted system is preferable as the humidity created by the process is vented outside rather than being circulated in the home.
