A carpet cleaning service professional can be worth their weight in gold. Able to bring back carpets that would be a total write-off to near brand new with just a few waves of the cleaning pole.
But if you thought carpet cleaning was all the same, you’d be mistaken – for underestimating the nuance involved.
Here are the different types of professional carpet cleaning service:
- Dry carpet cleaning: a powder-based, chemical cleaning agent that is vacuumed up along with the dirt
- Encapsulation (‘encapping’) carpet cleaning: liquid preservative chemical applied and then left to dry before being sucked up.
- Shampooing: water, detergent, applied to become foam and then vacuumed.
- Bonnet carpet cleaning: rotating mechanical buffet to agitate
- Steam cleaning: steam is passed through the pile to dissolve dirt, followed by hot water and then vaccumed up
- Hot water extraction: like steam cleaning, just with hot water only and with added chemical detergent
If you are looking for an estimate on a professional carpet cleaning service, it will cost between £25 – £150, depending on type and number of rooms (for example, bedrooms are cheaper because there is less available floor space to clean).
