Choose the right Carpet Cleaning method January 24th, 2012

When it comes to Carpet Cleaning there are so many methods to choose from even though there is only one (1) method approved by almost all carpet manufacturers. Carpet manufacturers do warranty their product and so have certain requirements to keep that warranty in force.

When choosing a Carpet Cleaning Company In San Diego you must look for a company that performs the Hot Water Extraction method. This method is used to utilize high heat, high pressure water and high pressure vacuum to recover the water used. This is best served by a company that uses Truck mounted units. Many times Portable machines are used but do not have adequate pressure or heat but they are not to be discounted because they are the tool of choice for High Rise buildings where the truck mounted unit can no go.

Hot Water Extraction is simular to the way you would wash anything else that you want clean – flush & rinse, just like your laundry. Cleaning with the high temperatures assist in getting the best to closest sanitizing effect to kill those living things in the carpet and much of the bacteria.

Dry Cleaning methods vary in many methods from Dry Foam Shampoo, Powders and even Floor Buffers that buff the carpet. They have Zero Flush & Rinse Capabilities, do not create heat effectual enough to do any good and they have almost zero extraction capabilities. This method is commonly used for many commercial thin glue down carpets that are made of plastic. The dirt & residues that they leave behind do not constitute the definition of clean in any respect except to provide a cleaner appearance. Unfortunately e, this method is used by low budget Carpet Cleaners to avoid expensive equipment costs & the intensive labor involved from Hot Water Extraction. The bad thing is that the unaware consumer gets passed along their savings by giving you something you had hoped was the definition of “Clean”. Imagine your carpet that has not been cleaned for 12 months that is full of foot oils, soils that have stuck to the sticky oily residue, maybe a little vomit over there, some various spills here and some pet urine over there. Now here comes a Dry Carpet Cleaner with a Floor Buffer that is designed to shine floors. He sprays his magic potion on the carpet (preconditioner), puts a nylon or cotton pad under the buffer and starts to buff the carpet. Where is that dirt going and where is that chemical that was sprayed onto the carpet going? What about the bacteria & dust mites? My point is that rearranging the dirt is not a true definition of cleaning. These methods use aggressive brushes that frizz carpet fibers, snag & pull yarns and Floor Buffers Bloom the tips of carpet fibers. This is damage and your warranty is void with these methods.

Our method is to provide a gentle high flow flush & rinse process of 210-240 degree soft water to remove all the soils and bacteria along with the residues of our non-toxic organic preconditioner. This truck mounted process is gentle and extremely thorough and leaves your carpets residue free which means they don’t resoil quickly as with Dry Carpet Cleaning methods that leave nothing but chemical residues.

The major claim of Dry Carpet Cleaning methods is to leave you dry. This is because there are sloppy quick “Splash & Dash” carpet cleaners out there that use the Hot Water Extraction method. Those exceptional deals such as “5 rooms for $99″ must be completed in 30-40 minutes to make a profit. Our cleaning technique is not like that since we as many have optimized cleaning units & tools for the 21st century and we employ our signature Rapid Speed Dry Process to leave your carpets Dry to the touch when we are done. Our dry times beat any Dry Cleaning process.

For your next Carpet Cleaning why not do the research on the one that you would like to come out and make sure that you are getting True Carpet Cleaning.

Dry Steam Truck Mount Carpet Cleaning March 2nd, 2011

MIRACLE SERVICES DRY CARPET CLEANING

The most important step in any carpet cleaning process is to get the carpets dry as much as possible. I’m not talking several hours or days, that is unhealthy. My signature service has always been to get your carpets dry to the touch by the time I leave your home even if I Truck Mount steam cleaned your carpets.

We term our Rapid Speed Dry service as our Flash Dry process. We use the very unique Airpath downdraft fans which blow air across the carpet fibers at a full 360 degrees. These high tech fans pull the warm air that rises to the ceiling into the fan and rapidly dries your carpet fibers.

One of the biggest reasons carpet cleaners get call backs to correct things is due to things that wick back to the surface. Spots, spills, pet stains and many times just plain dirt. You have probably heard of someone that you know who had a horrifying carpet cleaning experience where the carpet took days to dry & after it dried the spots/spills all came back and not only is it dirtier now that it’s dry but it also smells.

You see, all of those spots, the spills, the pet stains, or anything else that soaked the carpet has made it’s way to the carpet pad which is a sponge. Even your last over soaked carpet cleaning has helped contaminate that sponge. Those do-it-yourself machines over soak your carpets & much of that dirty water combined with the sticky soapy chemical residues have penetrated the pad.

When I clean your carpets I first determine your carpet fiber and adjust water pressure and vacuum for that particular carpet fiber. Wool carpet holds much moisture, Nylon does also but not as much as wool and a polyester carpet holds very little. With carpet fibers such as polyester we use Moisture Control since it easy to lose control of the moisture & have it pass through the backing where we never will go.

When the carpet pad or the backing gets wet then there will be issues of things that wick to the surface. So just imagine what is in the pad – pet urine, vomit, drink spills, pulverized soils, carpet powder deodorizer, and of course the bacteria. Have you ever had your carpet clean & after the carpet cleaner left, you wiped your hand across the soaked carpet fibers and smelled your hand? Didn’t smell too good did it! This is what has started to wick to the surface.

For this reason and that I am there to truly clean your carpet in the first place, I ensure that the carpets are dry to the touch when I leave. We don’t need any bacteria on the tips of the carpet fibers!
