Extracting Water

Posted by admin on January 14, 2010 Comments Off

Sometimes, accidentally water is spilled  on the carpet and saturating the carpet. What can we do then? It’s still a pretty simple and straightforward process, only instead of a pile of wet towels you need to use a carpet water extractor.

There is various types of ways to get these machines;such as- rent one , buy one, or call a professional carpet water extraction service. Each of these methods will employ similar techniques, though keep in mind that for large jobs, especially if you have been a victim of flash flooding, it would be advisable to call a professional service to properly dry and sanitize your carpets.

The carpet water extractor is similarly a wet dry vacuum with a flexible wand attached for maximum concentration of suction into small areas of carpet. The water starts coming out of the carpet and depositing into the machine, when the head of the wand is placed directly onto the wet surface of the carpet. The operator moves the wand across the affected areas of the carpet, making sure to use slow, methodical movements in order to assure a thorough job. The job of extraction is not completed until no more water is being suctioned into the machine. It is at this point that it may be desirable to place a fan or two around the affected area to speed drying of the carpet fibers, especially if the carpet has been wet for quite some time.

When the carpet gets wet for as extended period of time, and saturated by many gallons of water, or has been exposed to flood water, then call a professional to drying the carpet. The wet carpets are the breeding ground for harmful bacteria and mold, which can present health hazards to the homeowners.  Call a professional carpet cleaning like Oriental Rug Cleaning.  At Pride Carpet Cleaning, we have the right tools to do the job right!

There are various types of carpet cleaning methods we found in the market. One is by using special foam that stays in your carpet. When it is dry, the foam is vacuuming up.
Other is ‘the bonnet method’. In this method, the cleaning product is misted on the carpet, and then a rotating buffer and a pad wherein the contaminant attaches itself absorbs it.

There are so many types of the carpet depending on the verity, quality, and designs. The cleaning process is also depending the type you have. Therefore, most of us still limit our carpet cleaning to regular vacuuming, it is important to remember that vacuuming only removes dust and dirt particles from carpet surfaces. For comprehensive cleaning of carpets, you must seriously consider commercial carpet extractors.
The carpet cleaners inject water and solution in the carpet, if required, and extracting out the debris-laden water and solution. This action deep-cleans embedded dirt in the carpet base and within carpet fibers. It is such types of process that guarantees fast and easy elimination of dirt, grime, stains, dust mites, and allergens from carpets.

Cutting-Edge Cleaning Technologies

To optimize your carpet cleaning results, the brands of carpet cleaners now include advanced technologies. The low flow technology and low-moisture offered by top brands guarantees unbelievably powerful cleaning abilities while reducing the carpet drying time to less than 6 hours. . Heated machines with low-flow technologies boast a drying time of 2 hours.

The time of drying approximately 24 hours is needed in ordinary carpet cleaning method. The reduction in drying time is definitely a plus point when you consider that extended drying times cause the risk of mold growth, odors, and even damage to carpets. However, in commercial settings a wet carpet can limit business for up to a day when cleaned with traditional carpet shampooing machines.

However, the range of steam carpet cleaners available today that feature reduced drying times and the use of low moisture makes your carpets less prone to the development of mold or mildew. This means you can have your carpets clean, dry, and smelling fresh in almost as few as 1- 6 hours.

Heated/Non-heated Variants

The Carpet cleaners are also available in heated and non-heated models. Such as, cleaning power, it would be a good idea to choose the heated models. Depending on their intended use (commercial or industrial), these carpet extractors can generate steam at temperatures of up to 210°F. This ultra-hot steam is capable of dissolving the toughest grime and stains on carpets. Steam power also translates into more effective extraction of these residues.

Choosing a Carpet Cleaner

Before using a carpet cleaner, you must carefully evaluate its power, size, intended use, included attachments, and additional accessories. If you are looking for a cleaner to use in your small business, it is best to go for compact-sized carpet cleaners that are easy to use and maneuver. Larger commercial facilities may consider walk behind units. Another thing you need to consider is your specific cleaning tasks. If you are forever fighting with food stains on your carpets, choose carpet shampoo with the appropriate brushes and attachments.

Do not purchase low-quality carpet cleaners that come at cheap rates. Purchase them from reputed suppliers only – you will be amazed at the affordability of even the best cleaning machines.
