It depends on your carpet’s fiber type and backing systems. Many companies buy equipment, like truck mounts, and sell the cleaning system they invested in. The problem is some of these systems can damage carpet and even void warranties.  We work very closely with carpet mills to ensure we are using the latest cleaning chemistries and methods to effectively clean each type carpet.  A professional carpet cleaner must have the ability to clean with low moisture, dry foam extraction, and deep wet extraction.

This is a question of generalist versus specialist.  A “specialist” is defined as a person who concentrates primarily on a particular subject or activity; a person highly skilled in a specific and restricted field. A carpet cleaning specialist must first understand the type of fiber and backing system you are cleaning to ensure you use the proper cleaning chemistry(s), equipment, and method.  Next, you have to learn pH, dry times, agitation methods, pace, and extraction methods to ensure the fiber and backing system are effectively cleaned with damaging the carpet.  This takes time and daily focus to perfect.  A “generalist” is defined as a person competent in several different fields or activities that require less skill or understanding.  Case studies will show the best performing facilities and lowest cost focus janitorial on the daily tasks of vacuuming and spot cleaning with a specialist focused on the periodic interim and deep carpet cleaning.  At DPM, we work closely with janitorial partners to provide the best overall preventive maintenance experience and return on investment.

All aspects of a carpet cleaning program (walk off systems, vacuuming, spot cleaning, interim cleaning, deep cleaning) are important, but proper vacuuming is the one that has the greatest impact on cost and largest snow ball effect. Keep in mind that carpet is the largest air filter in your building. When vacuuming is not done effectively, it leaves more soil, allergens, and debris in the carpet.  Interim carpet cleaning methods are designed to work with vacuuming. Together, they prolong the need to do deep cleaning. When vacuuming is performed to quickly or not enough, the soils, allergens, and debris build up resulting in the need for additional deep cleaning frequencies, shorter carpet life from abrasion created by the soil, and a negative effect on indoor air quality. Deep cleaning methods are the slowest and the most expensive process in a preventive maintenance program and vacuuming is the least expensive.
