Using a professional carpet cleaning company is the best and most efficient way to have a clean carpet. The process is simple and involves a few stages, each of which involves certain machines that make the process automated and semi-industrial. The results are excellent and well worth the cost, as it is very difficult to yield these same results when cleaning the rug yourself.
- Analysis
The process of professional carpet washing begins with an analysis. Professional Thornton carpet cleaning experts first check the type of carpet and its condition. From there, they will establish the washing program to be used, as well as the method, type of detergents, and special washing solutions. The type of carpet and fabric, length of the thread, its physical condition, and the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the temperature or the detergent to be used are taken into account. Then, the professionals examine the problems areas on the rug. This can include the type of stains, the substances with which the carpet was stained, the depth of the stains, if there is animal hair that needs to be removed, and foreign odors.
- Mechanized dedusting of the carpet
To eliminate dust, sand, foreign bodies, and dirt, your carpet will be put into a professional dedusting machine. Through this operation, the carpet is dedusted through both vibrations and the vacuuming of the carpet, effectively removing most of the dust. In addition, the pallets of the deduster and the rollers eliminate dust and foreign bodies without damaging the fabric. Dust is sucked in and collected in special bags, without being released into the atmosphere. The specialist operating this machine regulates the speed of the dedusting equipment depending on the amount of dust and the type of carpet or fabric.
- Automatic washing of the carpet
Automatic washing machines, also called washing trains, perform the actual washing of the carpets. An automatic carpet washing program contains several specific steps. In the prewashing stage, a special environmentally-friendly detergent is applied. The amount of detergent is calculated automatically, depending on the thickness of the carpet, the degree of dirt, and the type of fabric. In the washing stage, with the help of rotating brushes, a constant pressure is exerted depending on the type of carpet. In the rinsing stage, the carpet is thoroughly rinsed with running water and then brushed. Subsequently, the carpet is run automatically before being inserted into the centrifuge.
- Carpet rinsing
For the complete elimination of the detergent, the rinsing is done in two stages, the first in the washing train and the second in the centrifuge. Rinsing is performed in depth.
- Squeezing the carpet by centrifugation
With the help of a professional centrifuge, a reduction in the drying time is ensured. At this stage, over 95% of the water is eliminated. The centrifuge essentially squeezes all the water out of the carpets, and this machine can be rotated by over 1400 rpm, thus significantly reducing the time required for drying. At the same time, squeezing the carpet by centrifugation locks in its coloring and protects the fabric.
- Drying the carpet in a special room
The carpet drying process takes place in a specially designed room, where professional dehumidifiers control the atmosphere. They are specially designed to heat the air up to 50°C. Under these conditions, the carpet will dry quickly and completely, in just a few hours, without the need to be exposed to the sun. This method also allows for drying to be done regardless of the season or the weather outside.
