Carpet cleaning: Steam or chemical
The debate over which is the best way to clean carpet has been going on for years. There are proponents as well as critics for both chemical cleaning and steam carpet cleaning in Los Angeles. The only way for you to get in on the debate is to thoroughly investigate the pros and cons for yourself, find out what both steam and chemical have to offer, and then you can make an informed decision.
* Steam carpet cleaning in Los Angeles is known as “deep cleaning.” It is the only one of the carpet cleaning methods that can get 97% of the dirt, grime, bacteria, dust mites and mold out of the carpet fibers. It reaches deep into the pile, right to the bottom layer. It is thought to be the best way to remove stubborn stains.
Deep cleaning is very important, but it is not the only thing to consider. As steam cleaning uses very hot water, it can take a long time to dry. The length of time to dry is a factor of how powerful the water extraction system is and the depth of the carpet pile. Although it can take over night in some cases, it will dry in several hours. If you need to get on the carpet quickly, then you may want to consider a different method.
* Chemical carpet cleaning in Los Angeles, as the name indicates, is when a solution containing chemicals is used to clean the carpet of dirt and stains. Some chemical cleaners are “dry shampoos.” The name is not exactly correct as they still need water to work, just a lot less of it. Carpets dry much quicker when they are chemically cleaned as there is not a great deal of moisture to evaporate.
Just as it is with steam cleaning; drying time, although an important factor is not the only one. Chemical cleaners do not work deep in the carpet pile; they only clean on the surface layer. Furthermore, when the job is done, there will be a slight residue of chemicals remaining, meaning that you and your family will be exposed to these harsh chemicals. It is recommended that you make sure that the chemicals in the cleaner will not pose a hazard to humans or pets. Steam cleaning does not use chemicals.
Whatever system you use is dependent on your unique needs and your concerns over using chemicals. It is not only that, the costs are different and this may be something that you will want to bear in mind. Regardless of what you use, steam or chemical, you will get a good result as long as you use the best service and the best product.
Your carpet is one of the things that make a strong impression when you walk into a room, do your research and choose what seems to suit you best.
