The 2 Best Carpet Cleaning Methods For Your Carpet!

In my professional opinion, the 2 best carpet cleaning methods being used today are:

1. Hot Water Extraction or "Steam Cleaning"
2. Low Moisture Bonnet Cleaning

There are a few other cleaning methods such as foam cleaning, shampoo cleaning and dry cleaning methods out there but I don't feel they are even worth discussing. I've used and tried all the different methods in my 18 year career and by far the 2 methods above are the best carpet cleaning methods.

In this post I'm going to explain the 2 different types and the benefits of each:

1. Hot Water Extraction

This method of cleaning is simply what it sounds like. Hot water ranging from 180 to 200 degrees is sprayed on the carpeted area by the use of a carpet wand. The carpet wand then extracts the water, dirt and cleaning solution applied on before the cleaning begins.

I recommend this type of cleaning to my first time customers who have not had their carpet cleaned for a long period of time. Hot water extraction is the deepest of the 2 best carpet cleaning methods.

2. Low Moisture Bonnet Cleaning

This type of cleaning method is where a solution or cleaner is sprayed on an area of carpet and then buffed off by the use of a low speed buffer and absorbing pads that remove the dirt and moisture.

With today's technology and advancements there are several good pre-cleaning treatments that will loosen up the dirt and soil. After buffing and removing the dirt and moisture the carpet will be dry and residue free.

The advantage to having the low moisture bonnet cleaning method performed is that the carpets are dry almost immediately after cleaning!

I recommend this type of cleaning to people that I clean for on a regular basis.

My clients with kids, pets and busy lives truly enjoy the fact that the carpets look and smell great. Plus, they can be used shortly after the cleaning is complete.

In closing:

The 2 best carpet cleaning methods recommended for cleaning are hot water extraction for deep down heavy duty cleaning and low moisture bonnet cleaning for maintenance cleaning.
