Carpets can differ significantly in fibre, construction, backing and colour stability. Before starting, the technician examines the material and condition to determine which treatment is appropriate. This initial check is especially important for delicate, natural or moisture-sensitive fibres that should not receive standard extraction cleaning.
Hot Water Extraction for Suitable carpets
Hot water extraction is the main deep-cleaning method for compatible carpets. After any suitable pre-treatment, water and professional cleaning solution are applied between the fibres. Commercial extraction equipment then removes the loosened dirt, product residue and much of the moisture in the same process.
Dry Care for Delicate Fibres
Carpets and rugs made from materials such as viscose, silk, cotton or sisal may require a low-moisture or dry-cleaning approach. The technician checks the care requirements before selecting the products and equipment. This helps minimise the risk of colour movement, shrinkage or fibre distortion.
Drying and Prime Care Protection
Carpets cleaned through hot water extraction usually need around 3-4 hours to dry, although ventilation, pile depth and indoor conditions can affect the timing. Keeping windows open where practical can support airflow. Optional carpet protection can also be applied after cleaning to help guard the fibres against future spills and soiling for up to eight months, depending on use and maintenance.
