Hot Water Extraction or 'Steam' Cleaning?

Truck-mounted or portable equipment is used to spray heated detergent solution into the carpet pile at a high pressure and immediately extracted along with the suspended soil particles. The machine may employ rotary brushes or another agitating device to work the solution into the pile and loosen soil.

Carpet Shampooing
In this method, detergent solution is released onto the carpet through openings in a rotary brush, whose rotary action converts the solution into foam and works it into the carpet. Once dry, vacuuming removes the residue containing loose, encapsulated soil. At times, chemicals may be added to the detergent solution to reduce odors, retard soiling, brighten colors and/or speed drying. this method uses the Hot Water Extraction method and Shampoo. This method is especially effective for cleaning highly soiled carpets, with heavy oil/soil build-up.

Taking proper care and maintaining your carpet clean will save you money from having to buy expensive cleaning products.
Never rub rashly and carelessly at a carpet stain, this may only cause it to smear and become permanent. Also, doing this will weaken the fiber causing your carpet to wear out quicker.

Stains that are not treated well often reappears at the surface of your carpet. You may have thought you've cleaned the stain, but soon after you'll see the same making its way to the surface of your rug. To prevent this, cover the stain with a thick cloth and weigh down with something heavy overnight, allowing the cloth to absorb the stain, then, clean as usual.

Never use an iron or a hair dryer to dry a carpet stain, this will only seal the stain permanently on your rug.

Make sure to steam clean your carpet or deep cleaning in on the carpet as often as needed. In Los Angeles, to have a clean carpet, you need to have it either cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner or you will need to use a deep cleaning machine. You will find more tips on how to purchase a deep cleaning machine online as well. There are advantages as well as disadvantages to each of these choices. The point is that a thorough cleaning will be needed at the very least every six months to a year.

For particularly obstinate mold and mildew, you can go in for a non-chlorine bleach or lemon juice and salt solution for colored fabrics. Else you can just slightly brush the area with a solution of hydrogen peroxide (one part of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide to five parts of water), provided you are sure that the solution doesn't harm the fabric of the carpet.

A clean carpet is one that is taken care of. Take the time to vacuum often enough and make sure to do it correctly. That means going over the floor in several directions to allow the vacuum to pick up all the debris it can. A high quality vacuum is the best choice. Make sure to use it correctly as you are directed by the manufacturer. Also, make sure to keep the bags or containers empty and filters clean as well.

Today, a popular way to clean rugs is the surface cleaning method which is accomplished with a wall to wall carpet cleaning machine, either truck mount or portable. In most intances this process utilizes hot water and high PH solutions which is recommended for synthetics only. Hot water combined with these cleaning chemicals can cause the dyes in your rug to bleed. This process can also cause mildew (which are fungi), produce rot and in general, will serve only to de-value your expensive oriental and other specialty rugs.

When a rug is cleaned or washed properly it will not only look better but it will also feel better. You’ll notice the rich colors and beautiful intricate designs have a much more vivid look after your rugs have had a good bath. If a rug is just surface cleaned, it may look better on the surface, but that all important soft feel will not be apparent. Surface cleaning does just what it says it does, it cleans the surface.

We follow a 5 step full immersion – hand wet wash process. This method of rug washing is the most thorough and the safest way to clean hand woven, oriental and other specialty rugs.

Inspection
Each rug is inspected as it arrives in our facility. We examine all areas of the rug including the fringe, main body, and the edges. In the event that there is any damage, we are able to protect it from further damage during cleaning. We also determine the type of fiber and the most efficient method to clean your rug.

Dusting
All rugs hold a certain amount of insoluable soils meaning soiling that cannot be dissolved by water. That includes lint, pet dander, hair, carpet freshners, etc. Most of these soils are not removed from the rug during normal vacuuming. If those soils are not eliminated prior to cleaning, they will remain in the rug. After the inspection is performed, the rug is turned upside down on a metal grid, and the technician begins the dusting process. Our equipment gently pulsates the rug, removing the insoluable soils and depositing them in the metal grid. Once this process is complete, the rug is then ready for cleaning.

Washing
If regular steam cleaning is not powerful enough to thoroughly clean your rug, we clean it in our new “wash pit” .This enables us to submerge the rug in three to four inches of water and carefully roll it to ensure that it is saturated. At this point, we add our cleaning agent and gently brush it into the rug. Each rug is tested for colorfastness before submersion, and we only use cleaning solutions that are safe and designed specifically for your type of rug.

Rinsing
Once removal of all soils is complete, we begin a process of adding fresh water to the wash pit and remove all soiled water. All of these pollutants are drawn away and pumped out of the wash pit leaving nothing but clean, clear water and a thoroughly washed and rinsed area rug.

Drying and Detailing
After all other procedures are complete, we raise your rug up out of the wash pit and hang it on our custom drying tower.
We carefully position each rug for the drying equipment to remove all of the moisture as efficiently as possible.
After your rug is thoroughly dried, we perform a post-cleaning inspection to ensure that it is as clean as possible. If it does not meet our standards, we start the process all over again.
Once the rug has been cleaned and is ready to go home, we roll it up and wrap it in a cellophane to avoid soiling during transport. The rug can either be picked up at our facility or delivered to your home, whichever is more convenient for you. We offer free pick up and delivery when are cleaning three or more rugs.
