How do I make my home portable steam cleaner or Home Shampooer work?

Many of you may be asking yourselves why I would teach you how to not need me? The answer is kinda simple. I am in the service industry and we are supposed to serve. I am also hoping that when you need a Colorado carpet cleaner in the future that you will remember me and call or if you have a friend in need you might refer Colorado Carpet Cleaning Masters to them. In this article I will try to answer the most common questions I have received in regards to carpet cleaning with a home machine.

The first step in carpet cleaning is to remove as much of the carpet load or dry soil from the carpet fibers as possible. What happens to dry dirt when you add water? It becomes mud and mud is a lot harder to get out than sand. A sq. yard of carpet may contain up to 8 lbs. of dry dirt. A thorough vacuum of the carpet is the best first step to cleaning the carpet yourself. If you need help in choosing a vacuum, see our free choosing a vacuum guide.

Now that the carpets are thoroughly vacuumed, we want to prespray or precondition the carpet.

This may be the most important step in the carpet cleaning process and it is often overlooked by the “professional carpet cleaning company.” Many Colorado carpet cleaning companies will only precondition the spots they see and not the entire carpet. This is akin to taking very dirty jeans and placing detergent on the ketchup spot and ignoring the general grime that the jeans are covered in. After the jeans dried you would have very dirty jeans with a clean spot where the ketchup used to be. To insure that all the carpet gets as clean as possible we must prespray all the carpets before we clean them. We also want the prespray to sit or dwell in the carpet fibers for at least two to twenty minutes before we clean them. It takes the soap bubbles time to pry the dirt off the carpet fiber. If we heat our preconditioner before we apply it, the preconditioner will be more powerful and effective. Once we reach 118 degrees every 18 degrees hotter will double the ability of the detergent to clean. Make sure that you are heating only detergent and non combustible chemicals. This is one reason why you can never get the carpets as clean with a portable cleaner compared to a high heat truck mount carpet cleaner.

After you prespray a section of carpet you can agitate the carpet with a carpet rake and this will help the detergent break the dirt free from the carpet fiber. You don’t want the prespray to dry before you rinse the carpets with your home cleaner. You can use a fresh water rinse or a slightly acidic rinse to flush the detergent and dirt out of the carpet. If you can create airflow and warm air the carpets will dry faster. It is preferred for the carpets to dry within 24 hours. The faster the carpets dry the less wicking or traveling of dirt from the carpets backing will occur. A quick recap:

1. Vacuum carpet thoroughly.

2. Precondition all the carpet to be cleaned

3. Heat the prespray if possible and agitate it into the carpet fibers.

4. Let the preconditioner sit or dwell for 2- 20 minutes

5. Rinse the carpet with fresh water

6. Dry as fast as possible

Matthew Meyer asked:


Knowing that your carpet is clean deep down will surely make the owner rest easy, and for a suitable company that can provide such clean carpets one need not look beyond Chem dry carpet cleaners. Unlike the run of the mill carpet cleaning companies that are found in abundance, Chem dry carpet cleaners don’t just clean the tips of the carpet nor pressure wash the dirt beneath the surface to temporarily make the carpet look clean. They in fact, actually promise to remove the dirt as well as other unhealthy elements that may be present in the carpet.

What to Look Forward To

Chem dry carpet cleaners promise drier, healthier clean carpets thanks to the millions of microscopic carbonating cleaning bubbles in their cleaner which they term as The Natural. These carbonating solutions can reach deep down to the base of the carpet and quite literally explode the dirt as well as grime off the surface of the carpet’s fiber. After that, Chem dry carpet cleaners use hot water extraction to pull out the dirty particles up to the surface from where they get whisked away and leave the carpet looking clean and new, once again. This principle is much like using club soda to remove stains from a shirt and has been perfected by Chem dry carpet cleaners.

Another major selling point which advantages using Chem dry carpet cleaners is that the carpets do not just get clean but also remain clean for longer. This may be attributed to the fact that the bubbles do the work and so obviates the need for using heavy concentrations of soapy cleaning chemicals and besides, soapy residues are like magnets they attract dirt, rather than repel them and that would cause the carpet to become dirtier much quicker and the more cleaning that is required the more the problem gets exacerbated.

The primary cleaner used by Chem dry carpet cleaners do not contain soaps, detergents or surfactants and thus enables their customers to save money because the carpets stay cleaner longer and the fewer the cleanings required, the better value for the customer and one less worry for them, as well.

Sometimes a spot will reappear in the same place after cleaning and there are two reasons for this they were not thoroughly cleaned to begin with and the process of cleaning that had been used simply pushed the dirt down below the carpet’s surface only for it to resurface as the carpet dries out later. However, with Chem dry carpet cleaners, who use the carbonated carpet cleaner, the stain would be thoroughly removed without further problems.

I hired a carpet cleaning service and was informed that they would not access to my water to clean the carpets. Is this typical? I thought that most companies use their own filtered water, but I may be wrong!
