Carpet cleaning is probably one of the most time-consuming aspects of home or office space maintenance. The two most common ways of doing so are to shampoo the carpet<\/a> or to use a hot water extraction cleaning system to remove dust, dirt, and grime so that the carpet will look as good as new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clean carpet keeps the home clean and smelling fresh. Regular cleaning also prolongs the life of the carpet which is something you as a homeowner wants especially if your carpet is expensive. Here are some points to consider if you are choosing between the two. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How water extraction is best suited for natural fibers. Carpets made with natural fibers are cleaned best with hot water to prevent shrinkage and are effective for treating stains. Shampooing may damage natural fibers and may not be as effective in removing pet stains and urine as hot water extraction is.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can clean your carpets yourself with a carpet shampooing machine since there are portable machines that are available for home use. Some equipment rental companies rent out carpet cleaning machines to homeowners who want to do the job on their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shampooing may leave residues on the carpet fiber since rinsing will always leave behind shampoo residue, no matter how small. When residue accumulates on the fibers, they attract dirt more easily. Hot water extraction does not leave any residue in the carpet fiber since most hot water extraction machines use a simple mixture of water and heat to loosen dirt and grime and suction. There are instances when cleaning solutions are used with hot water extraction but the residue left behind is small due to the efficient suction system present in hot water extraction machines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
