Steam Cleaning Vs. Dry Cleaning
By Bobby Walker, Fri Dec 9th
There has always been a huge debate over which cleaning methodis best for your carpet, steam cleaning or dry cleaning? In my13 years in the carpet cleaning industry, I have been exposed toboth sides of the fence, having worked for dry and steamcleaning companies. "Shaw Industries" is the largest carpet manufacturer in theworld, if you go to there site, they will suggest having yourcarpet steam cleaned. As far as I'm concerned, this settles thedebate. Since they have to honor warrantees, they want theconsumer to abide by there guidelines to keep losses down to aminimum. Do you think they would recommend steam cleaning if they thoughtthat dry cleaning would reduce the amount of claims? Steamcleaning has received bad press, which really started back inthe 70's when steam cleaning was just evolving into a popularcleaning method.
Carpet machines back then weren't very efficient, leaving thecarpet wet for 24 hours or more. Dry cleaning companies usedthis a selling point for their services. Times have changeddrastically,
steam cleaning machines that are mounted in vansproduce very hot water and are extremely efficient in waterrecovery, leaving the carpet dry in 4 hours or so. If carpet cleaners use an extra dry stroke while cleaning, drytimes can easily be less than two hours and with new extractiondevices, the dry time can get even lower. So how do dry cleaningcompanies sell their services now? The same way they did back inthe 70's, through customer fear of having soggy carpet the nextday. This is simply not true! The fact of the matter is, sometimessteam cleaning can be dry before dry cleaning! Dry cleaning isinferior to steam cleaning in every aspect. It does a poor jobof removing soil and it leaves chemicals in the carpet which cancause yellowing from the high ph. I think more consumers should be aware of the facts and not lethype control their decision making when it comes to carpetcleaning. If more dry cleaning customers had their carpet steamcleaned, chances are, they would never go back.
