Carpet Cleaning Tools Every Commercial Cleaner Should Consider | Centaur Floor Machines

When cleaning commercial carpets, the first question to ask yourself is: How much time do you have, and how much money do you want to spend? That’s because each method of carpet cleaning requires specific equipment and tools, uses different processes, and can take different amounts of time to complete.

That said, there are primarily three different methods used to keep carpets clean.

These are:

1) Vacuum Cleaning
The most basic form of cleaning carpets is using a commercial-grade (i.e. durable and powerful suction vac) vacuum cleaner to vacuum carpets and get rid of any loose debris, dust, and dirt. Vacuuming carpets is ideal for daily, surface-level type cleaning to keep carpets looking clean.

2) Low-Moisture Carpet Cleaning
The second way to clean a carpet is using low moisture so that the carpet can dry fast. This method is useful for getting rid of organic debris, liquid spills, and any stains you see that make the carpet look dirty. This type of cleaning gives you a more thorough clean than if you were just using a vacuum cleaner and is ideal when you need the carpet to dry quickly.

3) Hot Water Extraction Cleaning
The third way to clean carpets is using the extraction method for a deeper clean. This method uses a lot of water to thoroughly clean carpets which means the carpets will need more drying time. This type of “deep” carpet cleaning is typically done annually, or every two years depending on the type of facility and the amount of dirt that the carpet has accumulated.
