As with vacuum cleaners, the frequency of “in-depth cleaning” will
depend directly on traffic, dirt or desired cleanness appearance.
It is advisable to clean the carpet when it first shows signs of
soiling. In-depth cleaning is only possible when performed by specialized
cleaning professionals who carry out home cleanings at the place
where the carpet is installed.
The selection of the carpet cleaning professional and the cleaning
system to be used are major issues.
Rotating brush and shampoo
It is the oldest and most popular “home” carpet
cleaning system. It is a shampoo based system that applies the
detergent solution on the carpet piles by means of a rotating brush.
This combined action destroys the oily layer on the fibers, releasing
the dirt particles stuck among them. This system proves fairly
efficient if properly performed and with premium quality detergents.
Detergents with oily residual contents naturally cause immediate
re-dirtying.
