Hot-water extraction carpet cleaning is performed with some of the most powerful professional machines on the market. It is also the most effective carpet cleaning method. Here’s how the cleaning service usually goes: The technician needs to park his vehicle as close to your property as possible because the machine is big and heavy. Access to water for the machine is also needed. Once the equipment is ready, the specialist will remove all small furniture out of his way, so that he has better access to the flooring. Please mind that he cannot move heavy furniture and other heavy objects. Before starting the carpet cleaning service, the technician will inspect your carpet for stains and pretreat them with a specialised detergent. Once the preparation work is done, the carpet cleaner will get to the main work. The hot-water extraction machine injects a mixture of hot water and detergent into the fibres of your carpet. That mixture loosens dirt and makes it easier for removing. The machine then sucks the water back together with all the grime. At the end of the cleaning service, the technician will treat your flooring with a stain-protection detergent, which will not allow any spilt liquids to soak into the fibres and form stains. The effect of that treatment lasts for up to 8 months. Please mind that after the cleaning, you will need between 3 and 6 hours before the carpet is completely dry.
