Keeping your carpets clean is about more than just appearances! It’s about creating a healthier home for your family or a cleaner environment for your employees and customers.
At Sooner Cleaning + Restoration, we believe that understanding how carpet cleaning works, knowing which method is best, and appreciating its importance can empower you to make the right choices for your home or business. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty:
So, how does carpet cleaning actually work?
Ever wondered what happens during a professional carpet cleaning? At Sooner Cleaning + Restoration, we use a truck-mounted hot water extraction unit to give your carpet a deep, thorough clean. This is sometimes known as steam cleaning. Here’s the process in a nutshell:
Pre-Treatment: Before the cleaning begins, we apply a pre-treat agent to your carpet. This helps break up dirt, grime, and stubborn stains, preparing the fibers for a deeper clean.
Two-Hose System: Our machine uses a two-hose system: one hose sprays hot water mixed with cleaning solution through the jets of a carpet wand, while a second suction hose immediately removes the dirty water. Our dual-action process lifts and extracts even the worst stains and soil from your carpet fibers.
The hot water extraction method not only refreshes the look and smell of your space, but also helps maintain an indoor environment that is free of dust-mites, allergens and bacteria. It’s kind of like giving your carpet a deep-tissue spa day!
Which Carpet Cleaning Method Is Best?
When it comes to carpet cleaning, you might be wondering which method really delivers the best results. Don’t just take our word for it—industry experts agree with Sooner Cleaning + Restoration’s method!
According to industry leader Shaw Floors, the hot water extraction (steam cleaning) method is the gold standard for carpet care. While some products may call for dry cleaning methods, they simply can’t remove soil and allergens as thoroughly as hot water extraction does. This method is our go-to at Sooner Cleaning + Restoration, ensuring that your carpets are as fresh and clean as the day they were installed.
“Everything we come in contact with – from pollen to debris to grass – travels into our home on our clothes and body. Once in our home, air pollutants can work their way into the carpets, where they’ll stay unless they’re removed. ”
Why Is Carpet Cleaning So Important?
Your carpets do more than just tie a room together, they act as a filter for your home of business.
Every day, your carpets catch pollen, debris, and even microscopic particles. Over time, these pollutants can accumulate, potentially affecting your indoor air quality and overall health.
Regular vacuuming is great for everyday maintenance, but deep carpet cleaning is essential to remove the tough-to-reach dirt and stubborn stains caused by spills and heavy traffic. By keeping your carpets clean, you’re not only enhancing their appearance but also reducing allergens and improving the air quality.
Are carpet cleaning chemicals safe?
Like any soap, cleaning agent or chemical, carpet cleaning products come with varied warnings. All products used by Sooner Cleaning + Restoration have material safety data sheets available and can be assessed by the customer prior to usage.
We take the health and safety of our clients and employees very seriously. If you have a question, please ask away! We are here to address all concerns and give you confidence in the service you are receiving.
