There is a type of carpet that cannot be fully cleaned with regular cleaning. This carpet has not been professionally cleaned in years and as a result, there are traffic lanes that are very dark and very matted. Even after being vacuumed, the smell of this carpet does not go away. Supernova Clean uses carpet shampooing in Dunedin, FL for these types of cleaning jobs. Shampooing is used in addition to hot-water extraction for jobs where normal cleaning will not be able to break down the residue left in the fibers of the carpet.
Skylar has worked in many Dunedin homes with years-old carpet that has never had a professional clean. The soil load in these types of carpets is quite different to that of an annual clean and requires a stronger, more focused approach, which carpet shampooing can provide.
What Carpet Shampooing Actually Does
The basic procedure for carpet shampooing involves applying a carpet cleaning solution in a foamy form and then using a rotary shampoo brush or other brush-like tool to work the soiling into the carpet’s fibers. As the soiling becomes embedded in the foam, it is removed from the fibers by extraction. The extra agitation provided by shampooing makes it particularly effective for removing deeply embedded soil.
This agitates the compacted soil, old food, sand from Dunedin beaches, and other debris that has become lodged in the carpet fibers over time. The solution is then extracted from the carpet along with the soiled water.
After applying the foam in carpet shampooing, it is very important to rinse out the cleaning solution in order to avoid any residue from the solution getting into the carpet fibers. The residue left in the carpet will act like a magnet for dirt, and the carpet will re-soil faster than if it had not been cleaned at all. Supernova Clean always completes the shampooing process with a good rinse pass to prevent this sticky, fast-to-get-dirty problem that so many people experience after their carpets have been cleaned by others.
When Carpet Shampooing Makes More Sense Than Standard Cleaning
Most residential carpet cleaning can be done with hot-water extraction, but there are certain situations where carpet shampooing is better. Most of these cases are older carpets that haven’t had a professional cleaning in several years. Hallways, living rooms of very active households and entryways to homes near front doors are some of the highest traffic areas in homes and require the extra agitation that carpet shampooing provides.
Carpet shampooing can be very effective when there are rental properties that have been trashed by tenants in homes in Dunedin and throughout Pinellas County. Carpet can be returned to a rent-ready condition instead of being thrown away and replaced.
Properties for sale near downtown Dunedin or a waterfront property also benefit from having a carpet that has been professionally cleaned and properly rinsed. The property looks better and smells better, which is crucial to most buyers, all for a fraction of the cost of replacing the carpet.
Drying Time After Carpet Shampooing in Florida
Drying time is important in Dunedin as carpets can develop mildew if left wet for too long. As carpet shampooing involves a lot of moisture compared to a quick-dry carpet cleaning method, it would be wise to discuss the process in more detail before commencement of the job.
Supernova Clean use extraction equipment which removes the majority of the moisture from the carpet during the clean. Then, by running the ceiling fans and opening up the windows after the job, it helps to dry the carpet out even further. Most shampooed carpets in Dunedin homes will dry within 4 to 6 hours under normal circumstances. Skylar can give you a better idea of what to expect with your home before we start cleaning.
