The carpeting in our homes is tied directly to our comfort and well-being. Not only does a dirty carpet look and smell unattractive, but it is a symptom of larger issues that can contribute to poor health for you and your family.
Here are both of the methods we use for cleaning carpets!
Steam Cleaning - Hot Water Extraction
Steam cleaning is the most popular method of
cleaning carpets for a good reason.
Steam cleaning is the best cleaning method for a healthy and safe environment, and needless to ask, the benefits of steam cleaning. At the same time, traditional cleaning methods are more harmful than upgraded cleaning methods. So steam cleaning has many benefits, whether it's for your family or even pets.
PROS:
✅ The steam kills the germs, viruses, and molds.
✅ It does not require the use of harsh chemicals or cleaning agents.
✅ Significantly improves indoor air quality.
✅ The steam can help you get rid of allergens.
🤷🏽♂️ CONS:
➖ Carpets tend to dry in about 4-6 hours.
For most of the part, it requires mostly water and so uses fewer chemicals compared to other traditional solutions. If you choose to use steam cleaning, it will eliminate all the chemical residues in your house, making it a safer place for your family. It also helps you avoid all the pollutants that can harm the environment in any way.
Very low moisture cleaning - "VLM"
VLM cleaning is mostly used in commercial carpets.
Very low moisture cleaning (VLM for short) is an increasingly popular method of carpet cleaning used mostly in commercial environments, and less often in residential applications. VLM is broadly defined in the industry as a method of carpet cleaning that limits drying to 1-2 hours. VLM processes include encapsulation cleaning, ‘pad capping’, bonnet cleaning and compound cleaning.
PROS:
✅ VLM cleaning uses 70% less water than traditional methods.
✅ VLM Cleaning allows us to aggressively target these buildups where the HWE leave residues.
✅ Carpets tend to dry in 1-2 hours.
🤷🏽♂️ CONS:
➖ The cleaning process will require a certain chemistry*
*we never use harmful chemicals, all the products involved are completely safe and eco-friendly.
