The carpet cleaning northern beaches starts a weekly discourse in Sydney’s rolling suburbs and waterfront areas. Perhaps the sand travels home from Manly. Perhaps it is the damp footsteps left following a July storm. Whichever the offender, there is ongoing argument about whether you should steam or dry clean your carpet. Read more!
Under the microscope let us examine both approaches.
One promised speed from dry carpet cleaning. Forget waiting hours—often even days—for a damp carpet to at last dry. Dry cleaning, on the other hand, combined with chemical powders or solutions employs very little moisture. These ingenious little molecules cling to trash and soil. Then, following a brief waiting game, a strong vacuum sweeps the trash away. The near-instant healing time changes if you have pets that simply cannot remain off the fibers or children ready to sprint across the lounge.
But let us now discuss steam cleaning. Officially known as “hot water extraction,” this is more about hot water being driven deep into the pile than about fog clouds. Heat loosens filth, and suction pulls it out, basically. Seeing piles of accumulated filth created over months disappear in seconds almost seems cathartic. Steam cleaning typically goes deeper; for those suffering with allergies or homes with young children exploring every inch (and lick the rug, let’s be honest), this could tip the scales.
Both have peculiarities now as well. Sometimes chemical residue left by dry cleaning is evident. Is that fatal to a deal? It could happen if you are sensitive to some cleaning products. Still, steam usually leaves carpets moist for longer. If you neglect to open the windows in the humid regions of the Northern Beaches, insufficient ventilation might make your floor musty. Whatever your approach, tenacious stains—red wine, ink, and those unusual yellow patches—may also call for more elbow grease.
