What is the Best Method of Carpet Cleaning?
To answer this question we went to those who know best—the carpet mills. Shaw Floors® and Mohawk Flooring® are two of the largest carpet manufacturers in the world. There is a very good chance that the carpet in your home is manufactured by one of these two companies. So what do they have to say about carpet cleaning?
Mohawk Flooring’s Choice: Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)
“Even with regular vacuuming, soil particles and oily dirt will cling to the carpet fibers. With foot traffic these particles and oily dirt are driven deep into the carpet. We recommend professional hot water extraction every 12 to 18 months. Periodic cleaning, using the hot water extraction method performed by a professional cleaner, will refresh carpet appearance.”
Shaw Floor’s Choice: Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)
“Research indicates that the hot water extraction system provides the best capability for cleaning...Professional carpet cleaners are a great choice for your floor. Their cleaning equipment has more extraction power than the rental units availabel to individuals and the carpet should dry more quickly. Ture professionals also understand the equipment, know the proper cleaning agents for the situation at hand, and recognize the differences in fibers and carpet construction.”
