Carpet Cleaning vs Steam Cleaning

Fortunately for most people around the world, the days of having to haul your carpets outside and beat them all day just to clean them are long gone. The vacuum cleaner was a great invention and it gave people the ability to beat their carpets indoors in a matter of seconds. Although vacuuming on a regular basis will help to keep dirt, allergens and other particles off of the carpet it is important to have your carpets cleaned professionally at least once a year. The two methods of carpet cleaning available to home and business owners today are, dry cleaning and steam cleaning. So what is the difference between carpet cleaners and steam cleaners?

Before Pure Dry came into being there was basically only one choice that people had when having their carpets cleaned, steam cleaning. The term steam cleaning is a bit deceptive as it doesn’t actually use steam but rather hot water that has certain cleaning Pureicals dissolved in it. These machines are very powerful and have an extremely strong suction. The cleaning solution is sprayed on the carpet and then sucked off almost instantly.

Steam cleaning would normally be used in high traffic areas where there is a huge build-up of dirt and oily residue like hotel lobbies or restaurants although it may also be used in some homes if the carpets have not been professionally cleaned in years.

The next type of carpet cleaning, which was pioneered by Pure Dry, is dry cleaning. Once again the term can be a bit deceptive and water and cleaning solutions are used and sprayed on the carpet. The big difference though is that a lot less solution is used when cleaning carpets this way. Basically this type of solution has millions of tiny bubbles that will help loosen the dirt and lift them to the surface. The technician will spray the solution, scrub it in and then take large pads and clean off the dirt that is now at the top of the carpet.

It basically comes down to personal needs and environment which method would be used when cleaning your carpets. Steam cleaning may leave your carpets wetter for longer due to the amount of solution used but for very high traffic areas it is the only way to remove built up dirt. It may be necessary to have an industrial fan blowing for a day to help with the drying process. The dry cleaning method, pioneered by Pure Dry will leave your carpets only slightly damp to the touch and within a couple of hours they will be totally dry. This is why Pure Dry is the most popular carpet cleaning company in the world.

There is nothing worse than having a carpet cleaning company come to your home, clean your carpets and then tell you, “Job done but you will have to wait 2 days before you walk on them.” Very frustrating and inconvenient. Pure Dry takes time to really teach their technicians and they are very qualified in what they do so having your carpets cleaned will be a pleasure, not a problem.
