CARPET CLEANING

There are several methods used, and the aim of all of them is the same, to remove as much of the accumulated dust, grit and general soiling as possible. Regular vacuuming is a fundamental part of 'housekeeping', but more specialised equipment and knowledge are required in order to clean properly. There are several cleaning methods, the choice depending on many factors, but mainly on the type of article, its construction, age and condition, the degree of soiling, its location and the time available for the cleaning to be carried out.
The methods used by MCS are Hot Water Extraction Method (Steam Cleaning) or Foam (Dry) Cleaning.

The preferred method is Hot Water Extraction (often inaccurately referred to as steam cleaning). Carpets & Upholstery are vacuumed thoroughly, a pre spray is applied to the areas intended for cleaning, Hot Water and a cleaning detergent are injected into the carpet or fabric and extracted out.

The so called Dry Cleaning Method is sometimes argued to not be an effective or practical way to clean carpets. But also, like Dry Chemical, it has definite advantages. For one, it is a dry procedure and renders a carpet useable again quickly and there is no rinsing involved. Actually getting the foam into the carpet can sometimes be tricky, though.

When using the cleaning foam technique, the first thing that should be done is a good, thorough vacuuming. The next step is to add a pre-conditioner to loosen the soil in the carpet. After that, the Foam machine comes in. The chemicals are mixed in and it creates foam, which is then worked across the carpet.

This method doesn’t afford deep cleaning that is why is preferred only when the carpets may shrink if water is applied to them or when quick drying is needed.
