It is important to understand that there are a number of methods available for cleaning carpets, because different processes will work better on different types of material.
In the information following we will outline the five different cleaning methods that are available in Sunderland: Hot Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning This method is more commonly known as steam carpet cleaning, the machines used provide a high pressured blast of hot water into the carpet or upholstery to aggravate the fibre and dissolve dirt harboured within the fabric weaves. Hot water extraction cleaning generally involves the application of a cleaning agent onto the dirty areas, the carpet is then brushed and rinsed, allowing the cleaning agent to soak into the fibres. After a short period of time the equipment will wash the cleaning agent out of the fibres and then the carpets or upholstery will be left to dry. |

How Long Does it Take?
To provide an estimation of time, it would roughly take 2 hours to clean a carpeted office of 3,000 square feet and require at least 4 hours post cleaning for the material to dry.
Cleaning carpets or rugs within a household on average takes between 30 to 40 minutes per single room. This time can extend if the carpet restoration professional needs to clean carpeted stairs for example. We recommend cleaning carpets and rugs towards the end of the day to allow for the carpet to dry overnight and not impede on daily activities within the household or office.
Carpet Shampooing
Older Generations may be familiar with the cleaning method “carpet shampooing”, which was very popular until the 1970s when encapsulation technology was introduced. Carpet shampooing provided good results when cleaning heavily soiled carpets and rugs, however the disadvantage was that it would leave behind a large amount of wet foam residue, which would take a long time to dry. If you ever experienced carpet shampooing, you may remember residue becoming sticky after it dried because the method meant that no rinsing was done after the initial carpet care process.
This antiquated cleaning method is more difficult to find in this day and age.
Encapsulation
The encapsulation cleaning technique uses synthetic detergents as a base, that when coming into contact with the carpet fibre, will crystallise into powder form and as it dries, will loosen dirt particles making it easy to vacuum or brush.
The main reason encapsulation has become the preferred cleaning technique compared to carpet shampooing is based on the lesser amount of water required during the procedure and paired with the shorter drying time. There are a number of environmentally friendly cleaning agents available on the market which result in less chemical residue being left behind within your carpets, rugs and upholstery making your household anal chemical free environment.

Bonnet Cleaning
The Bonnet method is great for cleaning surface fabric because the process focuses on cleaning the top part of the carpet fibre. A fast-spinning motorised machine is used, which has a large pad that has been submerged in a cleaning solution and is designed to absorb dirt from the surface.
This technique is popular with businesses such as hotels and offices because it provides a cost-effective and fast solution to carpet cleaning in heavy traffic areas. The process involves very little moisture which means that the fabric can dry quickly and prevent inconveniencing hotel guests or company staff.
Carpet bonneting doesn't provide the same deep clean that other methods do, so areas with high traffic can cacuse dirt to rise from within the carpet after only a short period of time.
Dry Carpet Cleaning
Our final cleaning method also known as compound cleaning is one of the most recent technological advances available within the carpet maintenance industry. Dry carpet cleaning has gained popularity and approval from numerous carpet manufacturers due to its effectiveness, performance and convenience because it does not require any drying time.
Due to this technology being newer than the others mentioned, it receives more doubt from the end consumer because we have become conditioned to expecting wet carpet care methods in the past, and therefore lack the trust in the effectiveness of this cleaning technology when the lack of water is witnessed.
The advantages of dry carpet maintenance are that the application of the cleaning compound or powder is pushed deep within the carpet fabric using a motorised counter-rotating brush machine. This machine opens the fibre, allowing the cleaning agent to embed deeper than other techniques. The end result is a thorough deep carpet clean that other techniques don't compare with.
Cleaning compounds for this method are typically created from biodegradable material that works similarly to a sponge in your kitchen. The sponge effectively absorbs all dissolved particles found within carpet and during the extraction process brings all of the dirt with it. Dry carpet cleaning is safe for all types of carpet, rug and upholstery within the home and is recommended for commercial buildings too that need to be operational 24 hours per day.
