Carpet shampoos play an important role in carpet cleaning. So how do you choose one?. In this article, we look into some factors to be considered before buying a carpet shampoo for your home carpet. One thing to note is that the carpets used in the home are different from the industrial standards. So choosing an industrial level cleaning product has the potential to damage our carpet.
Some of the factors to check when it comes to choosing a carpet cleaning shampoo:
- Deep cleaning capability
- Odor removing capability
- Amount of foaming
- The intensity of the solution
- Machine compatibility
- Carpet life
- Retain strength
Now lets briefly look over these points:
Deep cleaning capability
Carpet cleaning liquids usually have an extent to its depth of action. Whether it can get into tight carpets or not can be determined by this factor. If your carpet is fluffy and not tight you should be using a carpet having a lower depth of action as greater the cleaning ability means it could harm soft and fluffy carpets.
Odor removing capability
Odor removing capability means that the liquid can get get rid of the foul smell that the carpet had and give it back the normal or no smell it had. Mostly all the liquids coming out these days have some synthetic flavor to enhance the smell.
Amount of foaming
Foaming is the ability of the liquid cleaning agent to generate foam or lather when mixed with water. Why is this something to be looked into ?. That is because when you are planning to do your cleaning work without seeking the help of a professional cleaning and sanitizing company, you would for sure what to get the work done as fast as possible without creating much of a headache.
So if the solution lathers much then it would have to be repeatedly rinsed. All of which can lead to a lot of time wastage and maybe could affect the quality of the carpet’s fibers.
Intensity of the liquid
The intensity of the solution relates to the concentration of the solution. This solution affects the power of the solution and depth of its action that is the ability of the liquid to penetrate into the fibers of the carpet.
Machine compatibility
Machine compatibility is an important factor in determining the right liquid. The liquid you use should not damage the machine you own. Sometimes the intensity of the liquid may damage the internal working of the machine.
Carpet life
The liquid should not be so strong that it damages the carpet itself. The liquid should be able to preserve the life of the carpet.
Retain strength
Many of the quality products available out there have excellent retain strength making it a great choice for general purpose.
So these are some of the factors that have to be considered while purchasing a cleaning solution for cleaning your home. Even though these techniques are useful for small area applications you should definitely consider hiring professional cleaning and sanitization companies like Densat which has extensive experience in this field.
