Getting a Commercial Carpet
Cleaning
• How often do Manufacturers recommend carpet cleaning?
• Carpets should be cleaned once a year, particularly if they are in
high-traffic areas, as commercial traffic carpet is. Carpet
manufacturers actually recommend cleaning every 12-18 months
for optimal care of the carpeted area.
• If your carpet is a “nylon” based carpet, it is important to clean
it often, nylon contains a “hydrogen molecule” which is what
causes the carpet to literally bounce back to life when it has
been cleaned.
• Hot Water Extraction and Steam Cleaning
• This is another term that is most incorrectly called “steam
cleaning.” With “hot water extraction” cleaning, it is quite
different from actual steam cleaning. What happens with this
sort of cleaning is that hot water (usually combined with a
cleaning solution to get rid of any stains) is sprayed onto the
carpet and then sucked off with the machine. This is actually
quite different from steam cleaning. Today’s carpet cleaning era
is using the two terms interchangeably—hot water extraction and
steam cleaning.
