Carpeting is standard in many homes and apartments, whether the occupants own the home or are renting the same question is posed; how is the best way to care for the carpeting? There are a number of different methods of carpet cleaning Minneapolis and the choice often is made based on the size of the carpeted area, the material the carpet is made from and how dirty or stained the carpet is.
One of the most commonly used methods for professional carpet cleaning Minneapolis is steam cleaning, otherwise known as hot water extraction. This type of carpet cleaning process uses very hot water and a cleaning solution mixture; this is powered deep into the pile of the carpet. Various attachments and brushes are used to ensure that all the dirt is loosened. Once the dirt has been loosened and stains lifted the carpet is vacuumed. Although this is the method used by most professionals it is possible to rent a machine if the job is not too large.
Carpet shampooing is another method that is frequently used by the homeowner, although the results can be less than perfect. Shampoo is worked into the carpet by hand or machine, this scrubbing action loosens dirt and grime from the carpet fibers. There are a great number of carpet shampoos available, there are shampoos that target mold and mildew, others that target pain stains and odor and still others that are ecologically sound. Once the carpet is dry the carpet is usually vacuumed but there are some products that require no vacuuming.
For spot cleaning many people rely on dry cleaning. A powder is simply sprinkled on the carpet and then vacuumed. This is a good way to clean small spots, especially those that are located in high traffic areas where shutting the area off will prove problematic.
Professional carpet cleaning Minneapolis may use any or all these methods or they may use products and techniques that are not commercially available but are unique to the industry. Companies that specialize in carpet cleaning often have products that they have either developed for themselves or they purchase from specialty suppliers. These products usually have certain advantages such as fewer chemicals; quicker drying time or they simply result in a cleaner, better smelling carpet. Although there is an added cost to hire a professional carpet cleaner many people feel that this is justified due to time constraints and a superior job.
