At Bond Cleaning in Ipswich, people often ask: “Which carpet cleaning method is best for my home – steam or dry?”
Both methods have different benefits. Let’s look at them to help you decide which is better for your carpets.
What is Steam Carpet Cleaning?
Steam cleaning uses hot water and cleaning agents to remove dirt from deep inside the carpet. It’s great for:
- Deep dirt and stains
- Allergens and germs
Here’s how it works:
- A cleaner is sprayed on the carpet to loosen dirt.
- Hot water is used to wash the carpet.
- A powerful machine pulls out the dirty water and dirt.
Benefits of Steam Cleaning
- Deep clean: Removes dirt and stains.
- Kills germs: Hot water removes allergens.
- Stain removal: Works on tough spots.
- Longer carpet life: Keeps carpets looking new.
- Safe products: We use safe, eco-friendly products.
What is Dry Carpet Cleaning?
Dry cleaning uses very little water and a cleaning powder to clean carpets. It’s fast and good for busy homes.
How it works:
- The cleaning powder is put on the carpet.
- A machine brushes the powder into the carpet.
- The powder pulls out the dirt and is then vacuumed up.
Benefits of Dry Cleaning
- Quick drying: Carpets are dry in 1-2 hours.
- Less disruption: Great for homes that need fast cleaning.
- Good upkeep: Keeps carpets looking fresh.
- No mould: Less water means no mould.
