There has been a lot of debate over the effectiveness of hot water extraction carpet cleaning (a.k.a. carpet steam cleaning) versus highly misleading, advertised carpet dry cleaning methods by some carpet cleaning companies.
It no surprise if you have not heard of the hot water extraction procedures of carpet cleaning. Companies such as Stanley Steamer have used the more popular term of "steam cleaning" to describe this very effective procedure. Whether it is called carpet steam cleaning or hot water extraction carpet cleaning, what you need to know is that hot water extraction is still the best and most effective carpet cleaning method in the industry.
THE FACT. Most leading carpet manufacturers across the world would highly recommend you use a professional carpet steam cleaning or hot water extraction carpet cleaning company for cleaning your office carpets or home carpets. If carpet dry cleaning was truly a better method, those manufacturers would say so.
With more than 15 years of experience on the market, A-Cube Microsystems, a NEA licensed carpet cleaning company, maintain that carpet cleaning is best achieved using hot water extraction, otherwise also known as carpet steam cleaning. Your carpet will be wet afterwards because it just received a very deep, thorough and intensive carpet cleaning – which is different from what you would have received from a carpet cleaning company that practices carpet dry cleaning. All you need to do is to let the carpet dry for a while. Air conditioning will speed this process up.
The unique Fibreflow Carpet Washing System.
This special carpet cleaning procedure gently circulates a solution of warm hot water and environmentally friendly bio-degradable cleaning solution through the carpet fibres without wetting the backing of the carpet. Large amounts of dirt are thus loosened and sucked back up into the hot water extraction carpet cleaning machine together with germs and bacteria, creating a sterile and healthy working environment for the staff to work in.
It's scary. A neglected carpet can contain as much as 4x it's own weight in dirt.
Before fitted carpets were introduced, carpets would have been taken outside at least once or twice a year and beaten thoroughly to dislodge the dirt and dust. People would have been surprised at the dust clouds that emerged. Now with fitted carpets you can't do that as they are fixed. Most houses are centrally heated so that dust mites can flourish. How many people do you know that suffer from dust mite allergies?
If you think that vacuuming alone can get all the dust out of the carpet, then you are wrong. Leading test laboratory Cleaning Research International have carried out independent research studies and proved that hot water extraction carpet cleaning, carpet steam cleaning, carpet shampooing or carpet washing produces significantly superior results than from just vacuuming alone.
Vacuuming can only remove the uppermost layer of dirt. The lower layer of dirt is still stuck inside and as the grease and dirt get trodden deeper, it cuts the pile. The carpet becomes dull and the fibres are loosened.
It is an urban legend that carpet washing is bad. This is not true. Regular carpet shampooing brightens colors, remove germs and odors and extend the life span of your carpet.
When you use our Deep Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning System to clean your office carpet or home carpet, the carpet fibres are washed without wetting the backing. There is no chance of shrinking and the carpet will be dry enough to walk on in a short period of time. Carpet Steam Cleaning (a.k.a. Hot Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning) is still the best method in the industry used by professional carpet cleaning companies like us.

This piece of carpet above has been vacuumed regularly. Surface dirt has been removed but there are still lots of dirt buried underneath it, gnawing at the carpet pile. No wonder the carpet looks so tired and flat. | After our Hot Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning System is used, all the deep down dirt has vanished. The color comes back once again and is more lively and the carpet pile is soft and springy all the way down to the backing. And this is exactly the same strip of the same carpet. |
