Steam Cleaning vs Dry Cleaning - Which Is Better?
There is always broad discussion about which cleaning method is best for your carpets, steam cleaning or dry cleaning? The professional cleaners who work for
NarreWarrenCarpetCleaning.com.au have been in the carpet cleaning industry for many years, with a number of them having been exposed to both sides of the fence in this debate, working for both dry and steam cleaning businesses.
Many of the the largest carpet manufacturer's in the world, suggest steam cleaning as the
best method for cleaning your carpets. Remembering, that these companies all provide
warranties on their carpets, so it is natural to expect that they would only recommend the
cleaning procedures that are going to help maintain their carpets in a superior condition,
rather than a method that could perhaps contribute to a problem.
Steam cleaning has received negative feedback from some quarters for a while now. This bad press commenced back in the 1970's when steam cleaning was only just evolving as a method for cleaning your carpets. Unfortunately a lot of the carpet cleaning machines used at that time were not very effective, so that the carpet remained wet for 24 hours or more. It was at this time dry cleaning companies started to use this issue as a selling point for their services.
Moving forward, times have since changed...steam cleaning machines that are installed as truck mounted units, produce very hot water, and are very efficient in extracting water from the carpet, leaving the carpet dry in around 4 hours or so. Well trained and professional steam cleaners know how to extract almost all the water while cleaning, meaning the drying time can be reduced to even less than two hours.
What hasn't changed is how the dry cleaning companies continue to market their services in the same way...by using the fear of wet, soggy carpets against their prospective clients.
This is simply not true!
The fact is, dry cleaning is far inferior to steam cleaning when it comes to cleaning deep down in the bottom of the carpet, where all the dirt, dust mites and other bacteria that collects is. Dry cleaning is heavily reliant on the use of chemicals to provide their cleaning power and there is the risk of poorly trained operators leaving a residue of chemicals on the carpet. This can not only have an impact on your health, but can also cause yellowing of the carpet.
More consumers should be aware of the facts and not allow the hype of the dry cleaning
companies to affect their decision-making when it comes to carpet cleaning.
