Carpet cleaners in Balham who excel at stain removal

Carpet cleaning in Balham – planning and process

Before starting work, your carpet cleaner examines the rugs or other floor coverings to be worked on. They’ll check the composition, ascertain whether the piece is shrinkable or susceptible to colour run and make a note of any spots or worn areas that will require extra attention. The carpet is vacuum cleaned and troublesome spots are pretreated before the main cleaning takes place. Depending on the carpet type, this will either be a dry cleaning treatment or hot water extraction.

Dry cleaning

A dirt-attracting powder is worked gently into the fibres. This powder adheres to greasy areas or dirt particles making them easier to lift. Then the piece is vacuum cleaned using a powerful industrial machine.

Hot water extraction

Detergent and water are injected into the carpet, allowed a little time to penetrate, then the dirty water is removed by suction. Powerful equipment is used for this stage, so that up to 95% of the water is extracted. This high rate of water extraction delivers deeper cleaning and faster drying times than carpet cleaning completed using less powerful domestic equipment. Once the basic cleaning process is completed a Scotchgard protective treatment is applied. This makes the fibres more resistant to dirt and water. The effectiveness of vacuum cleaning is increased and if something is spilt on the carpet it can be more easily mopped up.
