Carpet cleaners Rainhill
Anyone can clean carpet or upholstery. That’s why you can rent machines from the supermarkets, isn’t it?
You can purchase shampoos and other products; however, professionals are trained to understand construction, identify the fibre or fabric, and know how to address it.
As an example, how would you deal with cotton being a natural product compared to a synthetic item?
Our experience allows us to identify the difference straight away, but if I wasn’t sure, I would carry out a burn or float test.
What is this I hear you ask?
We take a strand of fibre, and using a lighter burn the fibre. The smell tells us what we are working with. From this, we appropriate the best and correct method to use.
Chemistry is the no 1 solution we use. Great products make our work easier. We carry an array of stock with us from UV lights to view urine and fix some problematic stains to alkalines, acids, gels and deodorisers.
We use either our truck mount or portable machines.
The machinery can produce steam vapour if needed, high pressure per square inch of water, and colossal vacuum power that removes around 90% of all moisture, leaving items touch dry on completion of work.
So how would we clean your carpet? The most popular way is hot water extraction.
Depending on the level of soilage also tells us what scale of the Ph scale we should use.
It could be 8 being neutral to 13. When using alkaline products, we also use an acid in the freshwater tank. This is used to leave the fibres neutral at 7.5.
Whilst at any property, whether commercial or residential, we encounter stains.
Normally, these are standard marks such as food or drink.
We also come across a lot more challenging blemishes that require more advanced procedures.

When we deal with your upholstery, we will survey the furniture reporting our findings to you.
Hot water extraction is the preferred and best method however, not all fabrics can be cleaned this way so alternative methods may have to be used.
We always start at the rear, then the sides. These are normally less dirty areas to deal with.
It also gives the solutions we would apply to break down the dirt and grease.
We would now concentrate on the headrests, then the arms, and finally seating area.
To improve drying times, we will use an air mover.
