Carpet Cleaning Methods Explained
- Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning) – The most thorough method. Hot water and detergent are injected deep into the carpet fibres and extracted along with dirt, allergens, and bacteria. Drying takes 2–6 hours.
- Dry Carpet Cleaning – Uses minimal moisture with absorbent compounds. Best for delicate fibres or when rapid drying is needed. Carpets are ready to walk on within 30–60 minutes.
- Bonnet Cleaning – A surface-level method suitable for lightly soiled carpets in commercial settings. Fast but less deep.
- Shampooing – Traditional method using foaming agents; effective for heavily soiled carpets but longer drying time.
