There is a lot of information about the different types of carpet cleaning which is sometimes very confusing, I'll explain today about low moisture cleaning that we provide at Wallace and Sons. The method known as VLM or Very Low Moisture carpet cleaning is probably one of the most misunderstood.
Low moisture carpet cleaning is sometimes referred to as "dry cleaning", which it is not. Dry carpet cleaning involves spreading a dry compound, this is a complete different but another option for our customers available from Wallace and Sons which will be explained in the next blog.
The basic method is explained here, cleaning agents are mixed with water and then lightly sprayed onto the carpet with just enough moisture present to activate the cleaning agents and interact with the soil. After enough time to dwell the carpet is agitated using a rotary floor machine or another machine known as a cylindrical rotating brush machine is used to work the cleaning agents into the carpet and loosen the soil and other contaminants, the soil is removed by the brushes or pad because after agitating the carpet the remaining soil becomes encapsulated and is soaked up by the pad.
Although all carpet cleaning methods can be effective and have their strengths, low moisture carpet cleaning is very effective way to regularly maintain your carpets without using excessive moisture.
Using this type of cleaning at Wallace and Sons is normally used or advised when:
Customers request for drying reasons or other.
Commercial carpets.
Low Profile carpets.
Carpet that can Shrink when exposed to much water.
Situations were electrics are present (call centre etc).
Plus many others.
I hope this explains the method well enough to understand, until next time.
