Warm water cleaning

Machines

There are several warm-water carpet cleaner machines, but basically they are wheeled and container-shaped.

  4. Proper performance of warm-water cleaning means that pinned carpets are well-cleaned, and its optical appearance, comfort significantly improves.

Comment *It is very important to let carpets enough time to dry (min. 12-24 hours), before using them again. This period depends on the fiber thickness, fiber type, density, temperature etc.

Generally we do not recommend wet carpet cleaning, because the cleaner may make the carpet too wet, thus water might get under the carpet, gluing might be damaged and even instability in size might occur.
For module carpets, we recommend only dry cleaning method.

In case of applying warm-water method, it always needs to be examined on a small area, whether the carpet discolors, or any other unwanted effects occur.

Wool carpets need to be cleaned with water only after several years.

Common allergy reactions towards dirty and unhygienic carpet are asthma, rhinitis, eczema, blocked and runny nose, and more.

Because of the potential health risks when using dirty and unhygienic carpet, yearly deep carpet cleaning by the professionals is necessary to thoroughly remove embedded dirt particles and harmful micro organisms. Depending on the amount of traffic on the carpet, more treatments maybe required for carpets that are heavily used so that accumulated dirt can be removed more effectively.

Different types of carpet material and flooring require specific type of cleaning method. So, it is safer to ask your carpet installer or retailer for their recommended professional carpet cleaner or preferred cleaning method when planning to deep clean your carpet.

There are many types of carpet cleaning methods available in the market but the common ones, and more popular ones, found in Singapore and larger cities in Asia are carpet bonneting, hot water extraction / steam cleaning, and dry cleaning.

Carpet bonneting method is often seen in public area or common corridors in hotels and commercial buildings because carpet cleaning can be completed very quickly without causing much obstruction to human traffic. The downside of bonneting is carpet gets dirty again very fast because this method does not perform deep cleaning. As more carpet users complain about rapid resoiling after bonneting cleaning, more hotels and commercial facility management have chosen for other carpet cleaning methods that can produce more lasting results.

Hot water extraction or steam cleaning is a popular carpet cleaning method by carpet cleaners because it produces effective result. However, as this cleaning method would cause carpet to become wet and typically takes about 6 hours, if not longer, to dry in an air-conditioned environment, hot water extraction method is not suitable for raised platforms that have cables installed below the carpeted flooring. There are also some commercial activities that operate 24 hours every day in the year and whose office carpet cannot be evacuated for steam cleaning.

Dry carpet cleaning is an emerging popular choice as more have recognized the benefits and excellent results produced by this cleaning technology in the market. This cleaning method is typically performed by using biodegradable, sponge-like compounds, which will be brushed into the carpet to absorb dirt and micro organisms, without wetting the textile flooring.

Several reasons why your rug should be cleaned

Rugs at your house get dirty, often quickly, but sometimes gradually with time and to deal with this most of us use a vacuum-cleaner. Many people believe that vacuuming is more than enough to clean carpet but it really isn’t. It is hard to say, but even the most meticulous and regular vacuum-cleaning is only able to remove so much dirt. In order to keep your rug clean and to maintain healthy environment, this soiling has to be eliminated on a regular basis. Listed below are a few reasons to get your rugs cleaned.

1. Your carpets are full of hidden contamination

You are not aware of what is hiding inside your carpets? The reason to clean your carpets isn’t just the dirt alone. As you likely know, open-air contains pollens, bacteria, fungus, pollutants, cigarette smoke, car-exhaust and many other chemical substances. When you enter into the home, you carry all those pollens, germs and toxins in your skin, hair, clothes and also footwear. Fortunately, all those chemical substances and harmful toxins wind up in your own floor. If you have allergic reactions, bronchial asthma, or any other breathing ailments – one main cause of your complaint may be the pollens, smoke and chemicals trapped inside the carpet.

Also, carpet cleaning also takes away cancer causing chemical substances from smoke cigarettes, car-exhaust and pesticide sprays out of your home. Regular carpet cleaning can provide a healthier indoor environment which keeps you and your loved ones free from disease causing allergens.

The smell of recently cleaned carpet is extremely relaxing and inviting. The stinky odor of soiled or dirty carpet is sort of repulsive and also can even keep your visitors away. More to the point you and your family members will be more comfortable.

4. Clean rugs lasts longer

Dirt and grime sneak into your house as well as your rug every day. Dirt and debris act like a sand paper and cut the carpet fibers.

Clean carpets can last for a longer time than soiled carpets.

Tips for carpet cleaning

Carpets radiate pleasant warmth. Stains on the carpet can change that quickly. And when and how should you let experts remove the spots again?

No matter whether you spill something, regular cleaning is the best care for your carpet. You do not have to pay several hundred euros for top carpet cleaning. A good vacuum cleaner is also available from about 80 euros. When buying a new carpet, ask for the proper care in the specialist shop. If it is not necessary, dispense with extra powder or foam cleaner. “In most cases you do not get 100% of the powder or the foam residues from the fibers with the teat, so your carpet becomes more and more worn over time,” explains carpet cleaning expert Uwe Stiehler from Leipzig. Especially for long pile carpets the use of such products is not recommended. The residues bind new dirt.

So the stain goes away – Do it yourself

Always act immediately, absorb loose dirt and absorb liquids with a cloth. Do not rub. “Otherwise, you can work the stain even deeper into the fibers and increase it,” warns our expert, fat spots are best removed with carpet shampoo and water. Salt can only help against red wine, it can attack fibers and carpet colors. It is also useful in many cases, but soaps and oils are also included – and if you do not rinse the stain thoroughly enough, leave residue in the carpet, if you are using a cleaning powder, foam or spray. Always check the color of the fibers for the cleaning agent, some of them have to work for up to four hours, during which time the carpet is taboo for the children.

Here the professional ran

Do not get the stain out, call the pro. Most carpet cleaners clean your carpet within one week. Many bring back the carpet.

The advantage of a professional cleaning: The experts know exactly how they can get rid of what spot and what kind of carpet it is at all. Even properly polluted specimens have a chance here. “We wash the carpet with several hundred liters of water, we spin the carpets and dry them in a special chamber,” explains Uwe Stiehler, who is trying to water his carpet in the courtyard and garden himself. The expert says, “This has to be done quickly. If you want to try it yourself, you can do it with the cleaning profi. “If you want to try it yourself, you can try the cleaning profi. Also borrow a mobile cleaning device with the appropriate detergent, but the problem of drying remains here as well.

The expected costs

Carpet cleaning is calculated according to the size of the carpet and its type. From around ten euros per square meter you will get clean carpets. Hand-woven or hand-knotted carpets cost around three euros per square meter more. For valuable silk carpets you have to put down a good 30 euros per square meter. Added to this is the cost of collection and delivery of 50 euros. Usually they are adjusted against a certain order volume.

Caution Carpet Mafia

“Carpet Maffia” is called a group of business people, who with flyers in the mailbox and unannounced visits, especially the elderly get to grips. “They offer a cleaning service for seven euros per square meter and do not have a cleaning company themselves. The carpets are then cleaned in a foreign company”, explains Uwe Stiehler of their stitches. The fraudsters do not make any profit. They often tell the owners that their carpet is enormously valuable and that expensive special cleaning is worth it. Often it is also said that the carpet has had damages, which have become visible during the cleaning and have to be repaired expensive. Thus, from a cleaning for an estimated fifty euros follows an expensive repair for 500 euros and more. “The older the people are, the more expensive the fraudsters clean up,” says our expert.
