Swindon Carpet Cleaners

Any carpet which has a dark brown hessian backing runs the risk of browning. Normally acrylic mixtures are more likely to brown because the water absorption of the man-made thermoplastic fibres is very low, therefore there is a far greater tendency for the water to seep down to the hessian backing. The dye in the hessian is then loosened and wicks up the pile fibres giving an unpleasant brown patchy effect. Wool pile carpet tends to hold the relatively small amount of water left after the passage of the vacuum head. The water does not seep down to the backing so easily and wet out the dye.

People in and around Swindon often ask whether tea and coffeee stains can be removed from carpets. The simple answer is yes and no. Let us explain. If we get these stains early it is far easier. When they are left for months and years the chemical reaction between the carpet material and the liquid can change the actual colour of the carpet.

The best way is to act early. The sooner you call a professional the better, but like all things in life there are occasions where those difficult stains might not come out.

Corded carpet stuck to the floor can be cleaned with any unit. Should be left as dry as possible to ensure that discolouration does not take place due to water soluble glues wicking through. Fast-dry with 1.5 hp Hurricane Pro or 3/4 hp airmover.

Sculptured pile carpets are best cleaned by using the 4" hand tool, or better still a Powerbrush, which can reach the lower level of the pile (as will the hand tool) and is very much Quicker. A large brush less unit will tend to miss the lower levels of the pile.

Nylon Foam Backed Loop Pile (100% Synthetic Construction)

Easily cleaned, no risk of shrinkage, can be cleaned with a standard floor wand but the Powerbrush is extremely fast and very effective! Do not use Powerbrush over torn loop pile as the rotating brush can cause snagging.

Cleaning Procedures For Chinese and Indian Super-Washed Rugs

The following section deals with the different cleaning procedures for various items. It is designed as a gutde only. Always pre-test items with ready-to-use cleaning solution before commencing cleaning.

Chinese rugs are normally well suited for water extraction cleaning because the coloured wool yarn is normally washed after dyeing and this removes the excess colour which is not properly fixed and therefore there is Virtually no chance of colour run if properly cleaned.

Recommended Method -

a) Thorough dry vacuuming with high powered industrial vacuum cleaner to remove dust, grit etc.

b) Pre-spot drink and grease stains on pile or fringe with Stapro Stain Remover.

c) Pre-spray and then hand shampoo with a soft upholstery brush using Ashbys Supreme Shampoo. This product is alcohol based for fast-drying and pH 7 (neutral).

d) Rinse extract with a Kleenrite Upholstery Tool using Supreme Fabric Safe with hand hot water.

e) Apply a light spray of Supreme Finish and gently brush pile to remove upholstery tool marks.

f) fast-dry with 1.5 hp Hurricane Pro or 3/4 hp Domi Dry Airmover.

g) If white fringes remain stained by coffee, tea etc. brush on a "standard solution of Stapro Sta White, leave for 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly using only clean water. Do not mix Ashbys Supreme Finish or any acidic solutions with Stapro Sta White. Stapro Sta White is a reducing bleach - refer to instructions on container.

By using a powerful cleaning machine with just the right amount of pressure on the solution injection, no more than 100psi, and high powered 3 stage motors for the vacuum, this will produce excellent results.
