Hot Water Extraction: This is a fancy way of saying that a hot water cleaning solution under high pressure is forced into your carpet and then sucked out of your carpet.

In a recent Technical Bulletin, Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer, "recommends the hot water extraction system, which research indicates provides the best capability for cleaning.

"You can choose from two different types: A portable extraction which is done with a small hand-held unit. Truck-mount extraction, which is done with a large machine mounted in a truck. This is the machine that I use to clean your carpets.

You see, the truck-mounted unit cleans much better because it heats the water to a high temperature - and shoots a rinse solution into the carpet at higher pressures. This breaks up the dirt, bacteria, chemicals and pollens in the carpet. This is the method my company uses.

No question, the most effective way to clean carpeting is with a hot-water unit. It's the most powerful cleaning machine on the market and the only machine that cleans your carpet of dirt, harmful bacteria, fungus, chemicals, pollens, tobacco residue and dust mites.

Some people believe that hot water damages your carpet, but this isn't true. By washing and then rinsing your carpet with hot water, we clean the carpet completely - in the same way that the person who showers and then rinses off the dirt and soap will be much cleaner than the person who takes  only a sponge bath.

Very Low Moisture ( Bonnet cleaning ): This method is similar to hot water extraction, except that the company sprays down a non soap cleaning product followed by a large cotton bonnet, then with a floor polishing machine that rotates the bonnet on the carpet fibers pulling the soiling off. The rotating motion causes the bonnet to absorb soiling on all sides of the carpet fibers. This method I also recommend for getting your carpets cleaned. Bonnet cleaning is using a large absorbant cotton pad to remove the soil out of your carpet. It's very effective way to have your carpets cleaned and dry times are dramatically reduced along with wick backs..

ry Foam:DThe carpet cleaner applies shampoo to your carpet, allows it to dry, and then, without rinsing, sucks the dried shampoo into a vacuum. Can you imagine applying shampoo to your hair, allowing it to dry and then removing the shampoo from your head with a vacuum? This method leaves dirty residue in your carpet,which is one reason dry foam is not too effective.

Absorbent powder: The dry-compound method spreads a moist, absorbent powder through the carpet. The powder is allowed to dry and then sucked into a vacuum. This method leaves dry sponge particles at the base of the carpet yarn. And because the carpet is not rinsed, this method is not very effective.
