Dry Cleaning
Explained
When choosing someone to clean carpeting, the consumer can
become very confused. The prices vary as do the different
methods. Each cleaner claims that his methods are best.
DRY
CLEANING –
There are 2 types, bonnet cleaning(chem dry) or dry
compound cleaning(Host or Capture).
Bonnet Cleaning -
a method where the carpet is vacuumed, then a solution is
sprayed on top of the carpeting from a low pressure
sprayer, then a cotton pad is attached to the bottom of a
rotary machine and the carpeting tips are wiped with the
bonnet. This method was developed for commercial carpet
maintenance. It is now being sold as a annual cleaning
method. There is no rinse in this method and it is not a
deep cleaner, spots tend to resurface because it is more of
a "tip cleaning method". This method is not effective on a
carpet that is appreciably soiled.
Dry
Compound Cleaning -
a carpeting is vacuumed, a powder is scrubbed into the
carpet and vacuumed again. This method also has no rinse.
The powder that is used is very hard to vacuum out of the
carpeting and a "build up " can occur after a few
cleanings. Alot of residue remains in the carpeting and
residue can attract soil.
Dry
cleaning methods donot use a rinse. Rinsing is healthy,
over the course of a year skin folicles, sweat, soil from
outside, hair drops into the carpeting and is driven into
the backing with foot traffic. If you donot rinse, these
materials remain in your carpeting. When a carpet is
appreciably soiled rinsing is required.
Most carpet mills require the rinsing of the
carpeting every 12 - 18 months to maintain your
warranty.
These methods are similar to putting soap in your hair and
wiping the soap off with a towel - sound like a good idea?
