What are the Pros and Cons of Carpet Steam Cleaning?

cleaning carpets in dublinThe first and most common type of carpet cleaning technique is to use powerful steam cleaning machines. Technically they don’t use steam but rather very hot water applied at great pressure. The machine also has an extremely powerful suction device attached which removes the water and dirt from your carpet as it goes. This combination of of temperature and water pressure alongside a strong detergent is extremely powerful at dislodging even the very most stubborn and deep stains, odours and soiling. Most companies will even go further and pre-treat certain stains and use a special tool known as an agitator to provide even better results again.

As mentioned above, the pros of this method are extreme dirt removal. The powerful vacuum also leaves minimal moisture in your rugs or carpet meaning very short drying time before you can walk on it again. One drawback is that the machines tend to be large and thus not usable in building without an elevator as there is no way to carry it between many floors easily.

This method can also cost a little more as it often uses a truck mounted system. This type of system is even better than a portable commercial grade machine, but has the added drawback of not being able to extend too far from the truck.

This carpet cleaner machine is also very versatile and can be used on mattress, curtains and all types of upholstery too. Further to that, the temperature and pressure can be adjusted depending on the material. This allows your carpet cleaner to adjust the power so as not to damage any delicate materials.

What are the Pros and Cons of Carpet Shampooing?

This method of carpet cleaning involves the use of a machine with rotary brushes on the bottom. As with all types of carpet cleaning it’s extremely important that you take the time to vacuum thoroughly before hand. This will give optimal results. Essentially, your carpet get scrubbed with the bristles while a carpet shampoo is fed out through the brushes.

It gives excellent cleaning on extremely soiled carpets that have experienced lots of footfall and staining. To perform this procedure correctly, however, a lot of training and experience is required as you can add too much water to the carpet or cause pile distortion.

Both of these are very bad, resulting in extremely long drying times or even destroying your rugs and carpets completely.

The benefits of shampooing carpets are that there are a wide range of various cleaning detergents on the market that are specifically formulated to be effective on different carpet materials. The rotating brushes also causes fairly extreme agitation which can provide superior cleaning of deep soiling.

The drawbacks of this method are that large amounts of residue can build up on the fibres. Secondly, as there is no rinsing of the carpet afterwards, the carpet will become dirty and soiled again much sooner. Thirdly, there is the possibility for irreparable damage if an inexperienced carpet cleaner uses the wrong brushes for the carpet that hes working on.
