Carpetline practices professional carpet cleaning techniques, including:

Hot Water Extraction

  • Also known as steam cleaning
  • Uses hot water mixed with cleaning agents
  • Mixture of hot water and cleaning agents are deeply injected into carpet fibers and then extracted, along with dirt, dust, and allergens
  • Deep cleans carpet piles
  • Ideal for families with children, pets, or allergy sufferers
  • Lifts carpet pile and restores carpet texture
  • Removes deeply set in dirt
  • Kills bacteria and dust mites
  • Removes tough stains
  • Best to vacuum, then spot treat heavy stains first

Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning

  • Includes encapsulation, dry cleaning, and carbonated cleaning
  • Utilizes special compounds or microscopic bubbles to capture dirt, which is then vacuumed up after drying
  • Has quick drying times, with carpets ready to walk on after around an hour
  • Less risk of mold
  • Ecologically friendly, with many low-moisture products using biodegradable or non-toxic cleaning solutions
  • Best for routine carpet maintenance
  • Gentle on delicate wool carpets
