No single method works completely in all situations.
If one has done the research, has the experience, and has dedicated the
resources for quality equipment and chemicals, (and if the operator is skillful, paying attention, and diligent) each method
will perform wonderfully... However, each machine will perform only to the degree
it is specified for, and applied to match
with, the specific on-site soiling and fiber conditions. Here's another way to put it:
Soiling appears on (and
in) carpeting in different ways, in different forms, and in varying amounts in particular locations. Here are some examples of
using specific methodologies to match conditions: 1) Loose, dry dust
& dirt are best removed dry...
2) Sticky, oily, or impacted soiling best needs agitation... 3) Chemical types need to best
match soiling make-up... 4) Specific attention to carpet fibers after cleaning is needed to best help in ensuring extended
carpet life.
Considering all this, it becomes readily clear why no single method
can completely address all the factors of dedicated carpet care. When only one method is used,
there is a compromise, a trade-off, of some sort. This is why a dedicated
cleaner
takes time to talk with the client and analyze the situation -- before machines, chemicals, and techniques
are selected, combined, and applied expressly to match individual conditions.
And while there is no single best
method for carpet care...There are
some fundamental requirements for top-rate cleaning
professionals:
- Knowledge of carpet construction & characteristics
- Understanding of soiling & maintenance principles
- Expertise with all the various chemical types & usage
- Practical experience with various cleaning methods & their specific applications
The 'best methods' are the combinations that work best
in your situation.
