Methods of Carpet Cleaning Recommended By Major Manufactures of Carpeting

Carpet Manufacturer Recommended Cleaning Methods

Here you will find a list of Carper Manufacturers and their recommended methods for deep cleaning carpet. "Deep" refers to cleaning designed to thoroughly remove residues and trapped soils from the carpet fibers. Your carpet warranty is only good if you get your carpets hot water extracted at least once every 2 years. Keep your warranty by having DFW Steam Cleaning maintain your carpets.

If you have any questions concerning a carpet manufacturer's recommended cleaning method, please contact the manufacturer directly.  Of the list, Mohawk and Shaw manufacture about 2/3 of the world’s carpet and chances are you have one or the other in your home.  Both recommend Hot Water Extraction as the method of choice to clean and maintain your carpets.  What is Hot Water Extraction?

Hot water extraction and steam cleaning are used interchangeably and mean the same thing. Carpet has a particle charge and dirt and dust have the opposite charge, so carpet will attract dirt and soils and the dirt and soils will "stick" to the fibers or put another way, there is a static electricity charge keeping the soils stuck to the fibers. To properly clean, the water temperature must be above 180 degrees Fahrenheit and this heat breaks the static barrier allowing the fibers to release the dirt and trapped soils. Many steam cleaners do not clean at this optimum temperature and therefore carpets are not as clean as they could be. DFW Steam Cleaning properly uses heat to break that static barrier making your carpets cleaner and fresher. Clean you can see and feel.
