There are several types of carpet cleaning methods. This is an article about steam carpet cleaning and chemical carpet cleaning.
Different professional carpet cleaning companies use different means as well as equipments in getting their work done on commercial and residential carpets, in this view, many individuals who have hired these professional cleaners have always compare the lasting effect of both chemical and steam cleaning methods on their carpets. Several factors come into play when comparing these two methods of cleaning and most prominent among these factors are the methods of handling and the types of equipment and cleaning materials used.
Looking at steam carpet cleaning, most companies use this method to achieve a faster result; though it does not give the longest effect of carpet cleaning you may want because it is a method used in cleaning only the topmost layers of the carpet. With a steam cleaning for your carpet, you will likely have to perform periodic cleaning quite often. Steam cleaning is very effective no doubt, but for those carpets that have several layers of dirt , many individuals and commercial enterprises may want some cleaning methods that work much deeper into the layers of the carpet. You may also need several sessions of cleaning to ensure that your carpet gets the best cleaning service it deserves.
Chemical carpet cleaning methods are usually used by companies who want a deeper cleansing without damaging the carpet piles. Chemical agents are usually used in breaking down chemical particles which have much binding effects than ordinary soil and dirt. Without the use of a chemical it often becomes difficult to remove some stains such as oil and emulsions. Chemical cleansing of carpets does not involve the use of harsh chemicals which may damage the fibers of carpets. Aside its deep cleansing effects, chemical cleaning also lighten up the fibers of a carpet, giving it a fascinating fresh and new look.
To many people , chemical carpet cleaning seem to be the better option of the two but this is not true in all cases. Corporate organizations, offices and some other light carpet users will need more of steam cleaning than chemical cleaning, the reason for this is the fact that the fabrics used in making their carpets are not as strong as those used in making carpets that are used in heavy-duty industries, thus steam cleaning for around 2-3 times a year will be the best option for such organizations.
On the other hand heavy-duty and highly mechanized industries will need chemical carpet cleaning more than steam cleaning, the reason is the fact that more chemical stains are imminent here and steam cleansing will definitely not remove the chemicals effectively.
In comparing both steam and chemical carpet cleaning, the fabrics of the carpet as well as extent and nature of dirt should clearly determine which type of cleansing should be used . Costs of chemical cleansing will also remain higher than that of steam, chemical stain removals are quite expensive especially when they are original and are not synthetically made to destroy carpet fabrics.
