Carpet Cleaning Machine

The word carpet derives from the old French “carpite”, which described a covering made from wool for a table or bed. The oldest surviving rug in the world, the Pazyryk Rug, dates back to the fifth century BC. The widespread use of carpet as a floor covering did not arrive in Europe until the 18th Century. In past times, or course, the easiest way to clean a rug was to beat it, but today’s fitted carpets can’t be cleaned that way! There are numerous different types of carpets available now, including woven, needlefelt - which produces a hard-wearing carpet used in hotels - hooked, embroidered and knotted pile. The 1940s saw the development of the “tufted” carpet, a new production method which was much faster and more economical. Different types of carpet cleaning machine can be used to get the best results depending on the type of carpet and its environment.

Carpet Cleaning and Care

Proper and regular cleaning is necessary to ensure a carpet lasts for as long as possible and does not smell. A good vacuum cleaner is an essential carpet cleaning machine for both domestic and commercial use. It sucks up superficial, dry dirt such as crumbs and dropped food. There are a variety of different types of vacuum cleaner on the market, including tub and upright models. Wet and dry vacuums are also available, with different settings to tackle either type of surface. However, for a really deep clean, a much more powerful device is required, and for this carpet cleaning machines are available. These can be hired or bought, and there are also professional cleaning companies which will handle the job. Companies like B & G Cleaning Systems provide high quality and reliable carpet cleaning equipment to cleaning service providers to enable them to out a high-class cleaning service.

Different types of Carpet Cleaning Machine

There is a wide range of carpet cleaning machines on the market, and different cleaning solutions to go with them. One of the most common methods of cleaning is known as “hot water extraction” using a carpet extraction machine like an Edge Carpetline 500S. This uses a powerful hot spray to shift the dirt, which is then sucked up by a vacuum. Most carpets can be cleaned in this way - but dry cleaning can be a better option for some kinds of fabric. When carpets do not need such a comprehensive clean, smaller, cheaper “spotter” machines will tackle small stains.
