Without doubt professional carpet cleaning carried out on a regular basis will extend the life of your carpet. Embedded dirt, dust and grit is a major contributor to uneven wear of the carpet.

Inexperienced carpet cleaners may use unsuitable cleaning products and procedures. Something as simple as not removing all detergent residue that may be left within the carpet fibres will result in your carpet getting dirtier quicker than it ever was before it was cleaned. Great for the carpet cleaning company ...if you engage them again!
There are two major carpet cleaning methods:

Dry Chemical Carpet Cleaning for example is relatively dry, not completely but there is almost nothing wet in the process. Where there is deep dirt and soil, this needs to be loosened with a pre-conditioner. Then the carpet cleaning chemical is used, this is generally a chemical similar to laundry detergent, a weak acid or solution is dusted into the carpet and then worked deeper with a brushing machine. Then a drying period takes place, about an hour, and then the entire floor surface is vacuumed in order get almost all soils out of the carpet. If soil remains, the entire process can be repeated without significant damage to the carpet.

Dry Chemical Carpet Cleaning is deemed to be good for virtually every type of carpet but usually best for high traffic places, such as public areas. If it is not used with periodically deep carpet cleaning processes, it should not be used in places where children play as some residue may remain.

Fry Foam Carpet Cleaning. This is another dry procedure with the advantage that the carpet can be walked upon fairly quickly after cleaning. The carpet will need a powerful industrial vacuum to ensure all grit, dust and dirt is removed. Then pre-conditioner is used to loosen remaining soil that is stuck in the carpet. After that the machine is used to create foam that is worked into the carpet.
When finished applying the dry foam, the dirt should now be well and truly mixed into the foam, it must be allowed to dry before it is extracted.
