To have a clean and hygienic surrounding, all the things in your surroundings have to be kept neat and clean and inside the home, carpet is the one thing that gets dirty very easily and it is the thing that has to be used all the time by every person in the home. When it comes to carpet cleaning there are two methods of carpet cleaning and that are steam carpet cleaning and dry carpet cleaning. Many people get confused while selecting between these two methods and can’t figure out which one is better than the other one.

The first thing that Speedy Carpet Cleaning Melbourne wants to clarify is that both the methods are effective for carpet cleaning and only under some circumstances, one of the methods can be considered better than the other one. There are some pros and cons associated with both of these methods of carpet cleaning.

The Dry Carpet Cleaning Process

The dry carpet cleaning method is the most used method of carpet cleaning globally. It is just like dusting off a carpet but in this method, the first proper dusting of carpets is done and after that, a special solution, low in moisture is used to clean the carpet. The carpets can be easily cleaned using this method and it is the fastest technique of cleaning carpets. A proper procedure is followed to clean carpet and the process is mentioned below:

• A vacuum cleaner is used to deeply clean the dry and easily removable dirt from the carpets.
• After that, a special hydrophobic solution is applied to the carpet. It breaks down all the oil particles present in the carpet fibers.
• At last, the carpet is properly scrubbed with the help of specialized equipment.
• A cotton-based cleaner is placed on the carpet to dry out the carpet.

Pros and Cons of Dry Carpet Cleaning

Pros: it is the fastest method of cleaning carpets. It’s just like dusting but has a deeper penetration than it. After the cleaning work is finished the carpet can be used within 1-2 hours. In this method, all the stains and marks on carpets are easily removed. Not to forget that it can be used for most of the carpets.

Cons: this might be fastest but it also harms the fibers of some type of carpets. Another thing that cant be eliminated using dry cleaning methods is the presence of germs in the carpet.

The Steam Carpet Cleaning Process

Another method of carpet cleaning used by Speedy Carpet Cleaning Melbourne is steam carpet cleaning. This method of carpet cleaning is similar to the dry carpet cleaning but in this method amount of water used is much higher and carpet can’t be used for a longer time due to the presence of high humidity content. The process of steam carpet cleaning is mentioned below:

• Pre-cleaning is the first step in steam carpet cleaning.
• After pre-cleaning, equipment is used which sprays hot water on the carpet.
• Then the same machine sucks the vapors back in along with the dust at the same time
• A special solution is applied after steaming, which helps in killing germs as well as strengthening the fibers of the carpet.

Pros and Cons of Spray Carpet Cleaning

Pros: it is the most hygienic method of carpet cleaning which helps in not just cleaning your carpet but also helps in killing the germs present in the carpet. Not just that, the spray cleaning help fibers of carpet regain their strength after cleaning.

Cons: the only negative point of this method is that once the carpet cleaning work is done, the carpet can’t be used for a long time, sometimes for 24 hours also. That’s because the amount of water used in steam cleaning is much higher and it takes time to dry the carpet.
