Effective Carpet Cleaning For
Stain Removal
The Shampooing Technique
◦ This technique involves the use of either a wet shampoo or aerosol foam
shampoo. When using wet shampoo the carpet is usually soaked in a shampoo
solution, then thoroughly vacuumed and dry afterward. And in the end, you get
nothing but a sparkling result. On the other hand, the aerosol foam shampoo
method involves the spraying of the shampoo on the carpet, then the solution is
given time to dry, then vacuumed afterward to remove the dirt. Bear in mind
that, shampoos such as ammonia-based shampoo often leaves a foul smell
afterward when used for carpet cleaning.
The Steam Cleaning Technique
◦ This technique is actually the most common carpet cleaning technique today. It
simply involves the thorough vacuuming of the carpet with the aim of removing
solid dirt materials. Then afterward hot steamy water is used to the remove the
stains that are found on the carpet. However in most cases, when applying hot
steamy water to the carpet, detergents are added and left for about 15-30
minutes in order to properly absorb and dissolve the stains thereby making it
easy for the stains to be removed. However, the downside of this technique is the
fact that it takes considerable time for the carpet to dry.
