Domestic Carpet Cleaning
How will Aquadri clean my carpets?
At Aquadri we assess every carpet on an individual basis. When your carpet cleaner arrives he will select the cleaning system to use based on the type of carpet, degree of soiling & wear and how well your carpet has been fitted. Below you will find information about how our different cleaning systems work and in which situation they are likely to be used.
Dry cleaning carpets
With this system first a cleaning pad is placed in a heater tank where it is allowed to warm up and have neutraliser applied to it. Then the carpet is sprayed with a cleaning chemical and a machine rubs the warm pad over the carpet. The dirt is removed from the carpet by a combination of friction, heat, and the reaction between the cleaning chemical and the neutraliser on the pad. Any moisture remaining on the carpet from the cleaning spray usually evaporates within half an hour leaving no chemical residue. Also if required, it is safe to walk on the carpets immediately after cleaning.
The dry clean system can be used on most carpets but provides especially good results on carpet tiles and man made fibres.
Wet extraction carpet cleaning
To clean a carpet with wet extraction, first a pre-spray is applied to the carpet and given time to take effect. Then the carpet is rinsed and the dirt is sucked out.
It is possible to clean all types of carpet with wet extraction but if used on a carpet that has not been fitted properly then it may cause shrinkage. Carpets may take between 4-8 hours to dry depending on the circumstances for a portable machine and 2-3 hours for a truck-mounted machine.
Rotary-scrub extraction carpet cleaning
Rotary scrub extraction is similar to wet extraction except that, as the name suggests the machine used also scrubs the carpet. This system is especially useful where a wet extraction is preferred but the carpet has not been fitted properly. The reason for this is because rotary scrub extraction does not require as much moisture to be put into the carpet.
This system is normally reserved for very heavily soiled carpets and drying times vary from 1-4 hours depending on the circumstances.
