Carpet Cleaning Process - Bellingham
When Steam Sweepers carpet cleaning was established in 1996 we provided the premier cleaning method. We invested in the latest of Truck Mount steam extraction technology which met or exceeded the major carpet manufactures requirements for a deep residue-free clean. We continue to invest in the latest technology today. Most manufactures do not recommend Dry Cleaning for warranty purposes. However alterative carpet cleaning methods do have unique applications in today’s fast paced society (fast dry time). Today Steam Sweepers carpet cleaning is able to provide both Truck Mount steam cleaning and alternative Dry Cleaning methods. We offer Bellingham and Whatcom County residents’ real choices and value to meet their life style or carpet warranty needs.
- TRUCK MOUNT EXTRACTION (Carpet manufacturers recommend/HWE)
- BONNET CLEANING/ ABSORBANT PAD (Dry Cleaning)
- ENCAPSULATION CLEANING (Dry cleaning)
External Truck Mount Extraction
Also known as carpet steam cleaning or HWE (Hot Water Extraction), this method is the only one that provides a deep, residue free cleaning. Dry time is determined by the power of the equipment used and the skill of the technician using it. Steam Sweepers uses the leading edge truckmount equipment that recaptures over 95% of the superheated (up to 260* f) fresh water used, and our carpet cleaning technicians receive continuous training, making them the best in Bellingham and throughout Whatcom County. The powerful extraction and fresh-water rinsing properties of our premier Truck Mount equipment means that your carpets will retain their original residue-free luster that is safe for children and pets to play on.
Bonnet Cleaning/Absorbent Pad
Generally referred to as “dry cleaning,” bonnet cleaning is a VLM (Very Low Moisture) method that Steam Sweepers use either for maintenance between deep cleanings, or in cases where rapid dry time is an urgent concern. A common method in commercial settings, this method provides a great surface cleaning of carpet fibers. A bonnet cleaned carpet generally dries within two hours.
Encapsulation
A cutting edge dry cleaning technology that produces Very Low Moisture, this method removes soil while improving overall carpet appearance. Using two counter-rotating brushes to capture dirt, this process is often perfect in commercial and residential settings where there is light traffic lane soiling, or when dry time is an issue. Most carpets are dry in about 30 minutes.
