Beckett's is a full service Carpet Cleaning Service. We offer a broad range
of cleaning techniques and systems.
Proper use of any method involves a number of
different steps and procedures. These include dry vacuuming prior to cleaning,
spot cleaning by hand and proper finishing of the carpet fiber following
cleaning.
The descriptions of various methods below list
the procedures which are unique to each. It is important to note; however, that
these individual differences are always part of a complete procedure.
Cleaning Methods
Rotary Shampoo
The carpet
is cleaned by a rotary machine using a soft brush and a specially formulated
neutral detergent. The brushing action is just enough to break the bond between
soil and the carpet fiber, but gentle enough that it is less abrasive than a
normal upright vacuum.
The detergent used is made by Selig Chemical
and contains a soil retardant to help keep your carpet looking cleaner longer.
Shampoo cleaning became part of our service
when synthetic detergents with built in soil retardant's were developed in the
late 1940's, Beckett’s used this type of cleaning as a standard until the Mid
1970’s.
Major draw back - soap acts like a
magnetic to dirt, and this technique leaves high deposits of soap in the
carpeting which results in carpet appearing to be dirty faster than it should.
Hot Water Extraction (Steam)
A solution
of water and detergent is injected into the carpet under pressure. It is then
immediately extracted together with soil and spots which have been loosened and
suspended.
This method which has been used in some rug
cleaning plants over the years was adapted to be used on location in the 1970's.
Beckett’s was among the first cleaners in the
Atlanta area to
offer this new process in the mid 1970's.
Dry
The basis
of this system is a dry compound which contains a blend of solvents. This
compound is applied to the carpet and then brushed in with equipment designed to
disperse it evenly and work it deep into the carpet pile. The compound absorbs
soil and stains as it dries. Thorough vacuuming when dry removes the dry
compound together with the dissolved soil and spots.
Other
Methods
A
number of other methods are also available such as bonnet cleaning (absorbent
pad) and dry foam. Our experience with them also dates back
generations. These methods are generally faster and less costly but also less
effective than the methods listed above.
