the cleaning process

The choice of the proper cleaning method is important. Some methods leave residues that cause rapid resoiling and defeat the purpose of cleaning. Some methods actually damage the carpet fibres. Hot Water Extraction or Steam Cleaning is the method most carpet manufacturers and fibre producers recommend. The Australian Standard states that "only hot water injection and extraction methods have so far been demonstrated to be effective in leaving minimal residues in the carpet". Dust mites generally live at the root of the carpet fibre and tend to rise with moisture, and vacuuming alone is not strong enough to dislodge them.

Hot Water Extraction

Hot Water Extraction is the only cleaning method classified as 'deep cleaning'. All the others are considered 'light surface cleaning' because they are unable to remove soil deep in the pile. Hot water extraction refreshes the pile and removes discolouring agents from the carpet and maximizing extraction of pollutants. Other methods also leave large amounts of detergent or cleaning agents in the carpet after cleaning which act as food for biological contaminants and hasten resoiling.

Avoid light coloured carpet and choose carpet colours to tone with local soils.
Mottled colours are better than plain colours to hide spot stains.
Good quality matting at the entrance to a building will reduce soiling by as much as 80%.
Prompt spot removal (if unsure of cleaning method please ring us before spot cleaning for obligation free advice).
Regular thorough vacuuming with an efficient vacuum is vital.
Frequent hot water extraction of high traffic areas eg 3 - 6 monthly for heavily used buildings and 6 - 12 monthly for residences
Regular hot water extraction of the total carpet area annually.
Wear clean shoes in the house - bare feet cause soiling by body oils.
Children should not be allowed to eat or drink on carpeted areas as stains often go unnoticed by parents, especially milk, food dyes, iceblocks and juices.
Pets should be kept off carpeted areas as their body oils accumulate on furniture and carpets and urine seeps into the carpet underlay and often goes unnoticed, frequently discolouring carpet and leaving a difficult to locate and removal odour problem.
