Carpet Cleaning In New York - Water Extraction At Home

Carpet cleaning NYC could be much easier for you if you know where to call when in need. Christmas is approaching and if I were you I would keep some numbers on my speed dial and most of them would be cleaning services. Carpet cleaning in New York in particular would be much more tiresome if you don’t have any trick up your sleeve right away.

So, do you?

Do you know what Hot Water Extraction is? HWE is sometimes also referred to as “steam cleaning.” This one method of carpet cleaning is considered a major restorative cleaning procedure. This is so because when the cleaning company uses it correctly, it thoroughly cleans the carpet fibers of all the dirt and grime every time. A little downside to it could be over-wetting of the carpet.

This could also lead to not extracting enough detergent/solution thereby resulting in a possible mold/mildew situation and bad odors from a soggy carpet for a few days. You should know that if you are planning to go for carpet cleaning in New York all by yourself, a HWE machine comes in all sizes which range from quite small portable units to truck mounted machines. Obviously you won’t be bringing in a truck mounted hot water extraction unit to your place to clean your carpets. So, the following suggestions would suit you a lot:

· Start by picking a moderately sized portable unit

· An important tool that you will be better off with is a three gallon pump type spray to use on spots and high traffic lanes on your carpeting

· Another is to invest in rotating or carpet fans that would speed up the drying

· Have your HVAC on if possible

· Vacuum the carpeted area nicely and put up wet floor signs if you want to

· Fill the solution tank with detergent and warm water solution mix

· Make sure to use a measuring cup for accuracy

· Now in the collection tank pour an adequate amount of de-foam product

· Fill up the sprayer with a solution of warm water and traffic lane cleaner

· Spray a specified area with the cleaner and then allow it to seep in for a few minutes

· Do not overspray as you will risk soaking the carpet completely wet

· You can spray a little extra solution on the spots/stains though

· Use the wand to spray the product while you pull backwards and use the suction to remove the solution

· Now go back and reapply the suction on the same area at least twice more to get the moisture out of the fibers

· If the carpet still remains damp, vacuum again to get more moisture out

· Remember to overlap a few inches and go slower as you apply suction on high traffic area and spots

Continue this process until the carpet or the affected area has been cleaned completely. So that concludes your home regime for carpet cleaning in New York.
