Carpet Cleaning Terms to Know

Pre-Spray or Pre-Treatment

This is the process cleaners use to help break up soil, grease, food, ect. The carpet cleaner will spray all of your open areas. The carpet cleaner does this first so the chemical can sit in the carpet for a few minutes. The longer time that the cleaning agent sits in your carpet, the better outcome you will have.

After the pre-spay has been applied, an experienced technician will take a carpet rake and use it on your carpet. The carpet cleaner will use the carpet rake to agitate any heavily soiled area. This activates the chemical, and is a step necessary for the best results.

Temperature

There is also another factor in the quality of your clean and that is temperature. The hotter the water the more active the cleaning agent will be.

Now you are ready to rinse the soil and cleaning agents out of your carpet. Carpet Cleaners use a rinsing agent that is comparable to your laundry soap. The chemical is safe and is even biodegradable.

If there are tough stains in the carpet, such as grease, additional (stronger) chemicals are used to clean the carpet.

Good carpet cleaners will double extract your carpet. This method leaves your carpet drier, and when done your carpet will dry in 4-6 hours (as opposed to 12-24). This extra step is vital to ensuring that your carpet stays clean. If this step is skipped, there is a high chance of your carpet turning brown.
