Different carpet cleaning methods

When it comes to carpet cleaning there are multiple methods that carpet cleaners use. In this blog we are going to discuss one of the methods called Rotary cleaning and the benefits.

Rotary cleaning has been around for a while but as we all know as time moves on technology improves which leads to newer equipment that can clean more efficiently leaving your carpets cleaner and looking like new.

We use a Rotovac 360I, this system can be configured with either a brushed head or without a brushed head.

We use a brushed head on our Rotary for multiple reasons.

1. It opens up the fibers of the carpet allowing us to clean the entire fiber of the carpet and not just the tops of the fiber like the traditional wand.
   
   
2. As we are making one single pass across the carpet, the brushed head is making multiple rotations across the carpet which is the equivalent to multiple wand strokes.
   
   
3. It helps fluff the fibers so that they stand up and not matted down.
   
   
4. It removes the pet hair out of the carpet.
   
   
5. It helps rejuvenate those heavily traveled paths in your home such as hallways and entry ways.
   
   
6. Excellent agitation for removing the soil from the carpet or area rug fibers.
   
   
7. Is excellent for heavy stain removal as well as pet stain and odor removal.
   
   
8. Highly suggested for carpets that may have been neglected or in dire need of a deep clean.

But there are situations that the Rotary tool is not suggested for the following reasons:

1. Natural Fiber area rugs or carpet.
   
   
2. Can't reach corners.
   
   
3. Hard to get under some furniture.
   
   
4. Requires electricity.
   
   
5. Can require extended dry time depending on weather and other variables.

As I listed earlier, this machine has a rotating brushed head so it leaves a very unique swirl pattern in the carpet, so not only do you feel and see the difference but you get a very unique pattern and yes it will vacuum out.

The one things I love about using this tool is it never ceases to amaze me or my clients with the results. I have done rental properties that are "Nasty" that the client wanted to rip the carpet out or this was the last time that it was going to be cleaned.  After using the Rotary on the nasty carpet it looks absolutely amazing and the client is amazed.

I've done homes for Real Estate agents that needed the carpets cleaned in a home before they had photos taken and they were pleased and continue to use us for their listings because of the results we can provide with this tool.

If you have pets in the home than this is the tool you want to clean your carpets, its brushed head pulls put hair out of the carpet and helps clean the pet dander and body oils out of the carpet that your vacuum is leaving behind.

By using this tool it can extend the life of your carpet therefore saving you money in the long run.

I have listed the pros and cons - these are somethings to consider for your next carpet cleaning and an experienced tech will help you to be able to make that decision. Something to keep in mind is that not all carpet cleaning companies use these tools so be sure to ask.
