Difference Between Dry Carpet And Steam Cleaning Method - How Does Each Method Work?

There are many ways to clean a carpet. The two main methods, dry carpet cleaning and water extraction differ greatly. Here are some of the features of each.

Carpet in homes and businesses tend to take a day by day continue beating. Ground dirt combined with food particles and may be sticky spilled drinks can do for a deep dish with in a carpet. This is not to mention dust mites, bacteria and mold that may lurk beneath the surface. When it is time for a thorough cleaning, the system that works best and why? Here's how to make an informed decision.

Dry Carpet Cleaning With Using Foam

There are many companies offering a "dry" method of carpet cleaning. There are two main types of dry cleaning for carpet that uses low moisture foam, and uses absorbent granules. In the dry foam method, a cleaning solution is used which is whipped into a light lather and is then applied to the carpet using rotary brushes. The foam is then extracted from the carpet with a wet / dry vacuum.

Some benefits of dry foam method are that there is a minimum quantity of damp, allowing a short drying time. The cleaning solution is penetrated deep into the carpet by horizontally rotating brush, allowing a thorough cleaning. However, opponents of this approach argue that the use of rotary brushes is damaging to carpet fibers, and shampoo residue can be left if the vacuum is not powerful enough.

Dry Carpet Cleaning With Using Granules

Dry carpet cleaning with use of absorbent granules is a prevalent choice with those who do not like damp in the carpet. It is the fast driest method available. In this type of cleaning, small, spongy granules among a little percentage of water, detergent, and solvent are used deep into carpet with rotating brushes. The granules break down dirt, oils, and other particles and absorb them. A vacuum is used to remove all items from the carpet, leaving it necessarily dry immediately.

Benefits of this method include very little damp, so that there is necessarily no drying time. Again, cleaning is thorough, as granules are used deep into the carpet. Additionally, since there is minimum damp and cleanser, there is no soapy vestige left behind. And on the other hand of this type of cleaning is the claim that this method may not kill dust mites, bacteria, and mold.

Carpet Steam Cleaning and Water Extraction Method

The method of carpet cleaning normally known as steam carpet cleaning specially uses hot water extraction, not steam. In this method, hot water with carpet shampoo is sprayed deep into the carpet during process. It is allowed to pile in, and is then extracted out by a powerful wet vacuum. With many machines, the water coming out can be seen, and often provides proof of thorough cleaning as it is typically brown. This method is very prevalent, and is thought to be highly effective.

Advantages of the method of water extraction include a thorough cleaning with hot water cleaning, which is thought to kill 99% of all the matter of dust mites in the carpet. It's also an easy do-it-yourself, such as renting a carpet cleaner of this kind is easy and relatively inexpensive.

Cons of the method of water extraction include a long drying time that can be up to eight hours. In addition, many believe that the wet carpet may not dry completely in depth, allowing mold and bacteria grow. This method is also blamed for the soap residue left by shampoo, which could attract more dirt later.

Dry Vapor Steam Cleaning

this is a much less common method of carpet cleaning using steam, called vapor steam extraction. This process uses water heated to 240-260 degrees, creating steam which is pile into the carpet. The steam cracks down foreign particles in the carpet, loosening them to be vacuumed later. There are no chemicals or cleaners used and the damp level is very low at about 6%.

This method is very valuable from a health standpoint. According to Mercia Tapping, author of the Allergy Buyer's Club Steam Cleaning Guide, vapor steam cleaning kills the whole thing in the carpet from dust mites to bacteria and mold. However, it is not recommended for tremendously dirty carpets, and the steam doesn't help to work well for tough stains.

There are many ways to worthily clean a carpet. Dry carpet cleaning, water extraction, and dry vapor methods of carpet cleaning all have benefits s and drawback. Doing the good research will help individuals decide which is right for them.
