Every carpet cleaning job begins with a careful inspection of the carpet. The technician assesses the material, condition, and level of soiling to determine the most suitable cleaning method. Once the assessment is complete, the carpet cleaner pre-treats any visible stains and thoroughly vacuums the area to remove loose dust and debris.
Depending on the carpet fabric, our carpet cleaners in Putney may use either hot water extraction or dry cleaning. Choosing the correct method helps achieve the best cleaning results while protecting the carpet fibres.
Hot water extraction
Hot water extraction is the most commonly used carpet cleaning method. It's suitable for tougher fabrics, such as wool and synthetic fibres. The method is performed by injecting hot water under pressure into the carpet fibres through a high-end carpet cleaning machine. The water is then extracted from the carpet along with all the grime. Our hot water extraction is ideal for both stain removal and smell removal.
Dry cleaning
The dry cleaning process is slightly different from hot water extraction, as it's more suitable for carpets made of more delicate fabrics, such as cotton, sisal, velvet, etc. Dry cleaning involves the use of a bonnet cleaning machine, which rubs a cleaning solution thoroughly into the carpet. This solution loosens the dirt and dust in the carpet, and once it dries, it can be easily vacuumed.
