What Makes Us Brisbane's Best Carpet Cleaners?
As the best carpet cleaners Brisbane has to offer, Protek Carpet Cleaning Brisbane is well-versed when it comes to identifying types of carpets, the common types of stains that occur, and how to utilise all 5 of the industry approved cleaning methods.
Identifying Stains and Damage
Carpet stains can manifest in a multitude of forms, each necessitating a tailored approach for their removal. Recognising the kind of stain at hand allows for the selection of an appropriate cleaning strategy, enhancing the likelihood of eliminating it effectively. Below are several prevalent types of carpet stains that we encounter on a regular basis:
Food and Beverage Marks
This category encompasses stains from beverages like coffee and tea, as well as from wine, sauces, and oily food items. These substances often result in conspicuous blemishes that may become difficult to remove if not promptly attended to.
They can also contain molecular properties that can permanently dye the carpet fibres, so getting Protek Carpet Cleaning Brisbane to treat it as quickly as possible is crucial.
Stains from Pets
For households with pets, it’s not uncommon to encounter urine stains or occasional vomit, which can introduce unpleasant odours. Specialised cleaning solutions are necessary to thoroughly remove both the stain and associated odours.
Dirt and Mud
High foot traffic, especially under wet or muddy conditions, can cause dirt and mud to be carried onto carpets. Such stains are generally identifiable and can be managed through regular vacuuming and targeted spot cleaning. If they are more ground-in, then the hot water extraction method is the best for removing the soilage.
Ink and Marker Blemishes
Leaks from pens or creative projects by children can lead to ink or marker stains on carpets. These stains are prone to spreading swiftly and demand immediate attention for removal. Using non-VOC solvents can be effective in breaking down the ink, making it easier to blot away.
Oil and Grease Marks
You might notice marks like these kitchen areas or places where people walk a lot. They usually come from things like cooking oils, greases from machines or even hair products, which leave behind spots that need cleaning techniques. These types of stains and marks also benefit from the usage of non-VOC solvents and hot water extraction.
Stains from Red Wine and Fruit Juices
These stains can be quite tough to tackle if you don’t act fast. Spills of wine or fruit juice can seep into the carpet fibres making it hard to remove the stains completely as they can permanently dye the fibres. Acting quickly by blotting the area with a mix of water and vinegar can help reduce the stain before we arrive to treat it.
The 5 Industry Approved Carpet Cleaning Methods
A lot of people don’t know this, but there are five industry approved carpet cleaning methods for professionals to utilise. When it comes to choosing a professional carpet cleaning service for your home or business you have options to consider.
It’s important to be aware of the carpet cleaning methods out there because not all methods may work well for your specific type of carpet or its condition.
Most carpet cleaning companies in Brisbane only offer one type of cleaning method. This means that while they may be good at getting their clients positive results in some or most situations, there are going to be other situations where they will be lacking.
You need a carpet cleaning company such as Protek Carpet Cleaning Brisbane who can utilise multiple methods and apply them in the correct situation to get you the best possible result.
Here’s a breakdown of the 5 industry approved carpet cleaning methods:
Hot Water Extraction
Commonly known as steam cleaning, this method involves using water at high pressure to clean the carpet fibres thoroughly and remove dirt effectively.
Steam cleaning carpet starts with applying a cleaning solution, scrubbing agitating it in with a rotary brush, and then flushing and extracting. The carpet cleaning machine washes the carpet to remove all traces of the cleaning agent. The carpet is then left to dry naturally or with the help of our turbo air movers.
Hot water extraction is especially effective at removing inground dirt and soils, as the flushing and extracting mechanisms are the best features for this. They can also be effective at removing most stains and marks, but sometimes, the levels of heat and moisture used will be too much and a different method would be more effective.
Encapsulation Carpet Cleaning
This approach utilises detergents that transform into a microscopic powdery form as they dry. The dirt particles in the carpet fibres are enclosed within this powder once the cleaning foam dries up, but you will not be able to see it. Encapsulation is favoured over steam cleaning and shampooing because it uses much less water, allowing for quicker drying of the carpet while still being incredible effective at stain removal.
In some situations, this method would be performed first on certain types of stains and marks. This is because the heat from steam cleaning may set a stain without removing it and then it’s locked into the carpet for good. Sometimes, it can be better to start with a lighter approach before increasing the intensity as the situation develops.
Bonnet Carpet Cleaning
Bonnet carpet cleaning performs surface cleaning by utilising a motorised machine with a rotating pad soaked in a cleaning solution to extract and remove dirt from the surface of the carpet. This method is commonly used in hotels for touch ups in high traffic areas since it requires less moisture and dries quickly. Nonetheless bonnet cleaning addresses surface level dirt so underlying grime can resurface rapidly. This method may result in chemical residue accumulation in the carpet, and it lacks the ability to achieve the results that encapsulation and hot water extraction cleaning can achieve.
Carpet Shampooing
Carpet shampooing used to be a good method until encapsulation technology came along in the 1970s. While encapsulation cleaning technology wasn’t truly effective until the 1990’s, the traditional form of carpet shampooing is now less favoured due to issues like leaving wet foam residue that dries slowly and can attract dirt back quickly if not properly rinsed. The high moisture content involved may also harm the carpets backing and underlay potentially leading to mould and mildew problems in the long run.
Dry Carpet Cleaning
Also referred to as compound cleaning, this innovative method has gained popularity and approval from leading carpet manufacturers for its efficiency and convenience as it requires no drying time. Initially introduced in the 1980s, different cleaning compounds or powders are utilised to clean carpets.
Despite being an innovative technique its effectiveness is sometimes questioned. The process entails spreading a cleaning compound or powder onto the carpet using a motorised brush, which helps penetrate into the fibres for cleaning. The compound acts like micro sponges absorbing dissolved dirt before being extracted to ensure a clean carpet. Dry carpet cleaning is particularly recommended for spaces that operate continuously since it doesn’t disrupt business activities. This method will also lack in ability to achieve the results that hot water extraction and encapsulation cleaning can achieve, but there can be a time and a place for it.
Types of Carpets & Their Characteristics
Wool
Known for its softness and luxurious feel in carpet fibres, wool’s cost can vary widely depending on its quality. Some carpets blend wool with other fibres to offer the benefits of wool at an affordable price point. Pure wool carpets are particularly suitable for individuals with allergies or sensitivities, but it will cost a lot more. Wool carpeting may be prone to mould and mildew in humid environments, and it will also absorb stains and moisture faster than other fibres. It has exceptionally low levels of flammability, making it a safe choice.
Nylon
Nylon is known for its softness, durability, stain resistance and colour retention properties. Nylon is a popular choice in the carpet industry due to its ability to withstand wear and tear well as resist issues, like mould growth and decay. These carpets come at a price striking a balance between quality and affordability. If properly cared for, nylon carpets can typically last in your living space for about 12 to 15 years showcasing their durability compared to options. We have cleaned nylon carpets that were over 40 years old!
Polypropylene (Olefin)
Polypropylene, also known as olefin, is gaining popularity for both residential and commercial use due to its softness comparable to nylon. While it resists stains well it may attract dirt because of its oleophilic properties. Though not durable as nylon, polypropylene is often chosen for loop style carpets and it’s popular in commercial settings as well.
Polyester
Known for its long-lasting colour, polyester is a fibre valued for its hypoallergenic nature and eco friendliness when made from recycled plastic bottles. However it tends to flatten under pressure and is not ideal for high traffic areas. Polyester’s susceptibility to oil-based stains also limits its versatility despite its qualities. It can be a very soft feeling and shiny-looking fibre, which some people like.
Acrylic
Described as a man made alternative to wool, acrylic provides a wool like appearance and texture at a budget friendly price. It excels in combating static electricity, moisture, and mildew while retaining its colour and repelling stains. However it is less durable than materials making it less suitable for high traffic areas.
