Hot water
extraction equipment is a portable unit that can be plugged easily into
an electrical outlet. A trunk mounted cleaner is also available. This
can be used when there is no electricity. The trunk mounted cleaners
are more advantageous than the portable one as extra heat and power in
them gives better results.
Steam cleaning
The steam
cleaning uses the detergent solutions altogether with the steam.
Extraction is the most important step in this method. In this technique
the carpet surface takes 12 to 24 hours to dry. But drying time can also
be reduced by use of extra fans, outdoor ventilation and air
conditioning. In this process some carpet-cleaning solutions are
carbonated in order to dissolve the organic material in a more effective
manner. In spite of this, anti staining and anti soiling products can also be applied.
These wet cleaning methods take
long time in drying which leads to the risk of discoloration in the mind
of the carpet owners. Also there is the risk of attack by bacteria,
fungi, mildews on the carpet. So there is a urgent need for development
of techniques that can reduce the drying ime.
