Carpet cleaning is the most delicate moment for this floor covering.
Often, many people who were really fond of carpets have been forced
to change the type of floor covering, because of the great number
of problems they met in the maintenance of their carpet.
It’s
not easy to find professional carpet cleaners and it happens,
too often, to engage somebody only to discover at the first stain
that he is an amateur, totally unqualified to do the work.
At
best, he will not be able to remove the spot…at worst,
the fabric will be irreparably damaged. |

| CMO Transport and Cleaning company has created this web site
to advise and inform carpet lovers or those who make use of carpet
as owners of high-class facilities, such as luxury hotels, that
for the maintenance and the cleaning of textiles, rugs, sofas and
carpets it’s always best to engage professional cleaners.
In Italy we have companies that are highly qualified in textile
cleaning and, surely, CMO
Transport and Cleaning and Speedy
Service have a reputation for top quality service. |
 |
When engaging a company for
the cleaning of high quality textiles, it is essential to check
that, besides being qualified, this company offers an insurance
cover for any possible damage caused by their employees in
the exercise of their job and the execution of the service.
Going back on the technical issue, it is necessary to make
a periodic thorough cleaning with specific products when dirt
is deeply buried and shows on the surface as well.
The rule of thumb in taking care of your carpet is only one:
a daily vacuuming routine. |
|
Clearly, it’s absolutely necessary to vacuum with a professional
vacuum-cleaner, to clean, remove the stains and disinfect the
textile every three, six or twelve months, depending on the
traffic carpet is prone to.
|
 |
It’s obvious that in a hotel the rooms subject to a
low level of traffic, if vacuumed daily, need to be cleaned
every six or even twelve months; while, on the contrary, the
hall requires a more frequent cleaning, at least every six
months, if not every three or four.
A good advise to prolong the life of a carpet, to get the best
of it, to be guaranteed in every aspect and, why not, to save
money, is to schedule with a specialized company a periodic
- every six or twelve months - professional cleaning. Furthermore,
you will be equipped with specific products that will enable
you, in the meanwhile, to deal with possible stains, avoiding
irreversible damages. |
|
Dealing quickly with stains is really important because it’s
not possible, months later, to remove a spot, caused for example
by a coffee spillage, if it has not been tackled immediately. To
deal with a stain you need competence and specific products but,
lacking this, you can dab the spillage with water and blot with
absorbent tissue. Even if increasing the mark, this will lessen
the possibility of irreparable damages.
There are several different techniques of carpet cleaning…the
two most commonly used are:The Bonnet Method
The External/Extraction Method.
The choice of the proper method of cleaning depends on the carpet
fibre.
THE BONNET METHOD
The Bonnet Method consists in the use of a rotary single brush
fitted with specific pads that passing repeatedly on the textile
will remove the dirt from the surface.
This system has the great advantage to offer a very quick drying
time and to be extremely effective.
Furthermore, if couplet with a deep vacuuming, it assures a good
cleaning even in the textile inner coat.
THE EXTERNAL/EXTRACTION
METHOD
This method is mostly used for light coloured, thick rugs or carpets.
It consists in the injection of a mixture of water and detergent
into the carpet textile and, afterward, in the extraction of this
solution together with the dirt, leaving the textile perfectly
cleaned.
There are other cleaning methods such as the dry compound
and the buffer washing. The former consists in spreading over the
carpet a sort of dump sawdust (micro sponges), that after about
15 minutes is vacuumed out, taking the dirt with it. This system
is not very effective in case of deep dirt.
The latter, the buffer washing, consists in the repeated beating
of the floor covering with a special machine, fitted with a kind
of towel.
Cmo Transport and Cleaning and Speedy
Service, prefer
the Bonnet and the External/extraction methods. Sometimes they
are even used together.
Another important element that points out the excellent work of
these companies is the use of products made up of ozone. Ozone,
in fact, is the only natural disinfectant that is able to definitely
destroy mites. |
