PROFESSIONAL STEAM CLEANING OR DRY CLEANING WHATS THE DIFFERENCE 

CARPET CLEANING CASTLE ROCK CO

Steam vs dry carpet cleaning does have various differences and which is best depends on who you talk to. One undeniable fact is almost all the major carpet manufacturers require customers to use steam cleaning method if you want to get the most thorough cleaning to uphold your carpets warranty. You can always call the store where you bought the carpet but they may not know. After all, they sell carpet, they don't clean carpets. As the owner of TLC Carpet Care in Castle Rock I'm always shocked when I hear the suggestion of carpet cleaning by the sales staff. Most of them are truly clueless. The most reliable way is to call your carpet manufacturer to see what they recommend as the preferred method to clean for your carpets. TLC Carpet Care in Castle Rock gladly shares some things to consider that may help you when looking to for carpet cleaning solutions.

Think of dry carpet cleaning like a sponge bath. This is a quick way to bathe so you can be done in just a few minutes and your getting just a surface clean so to speak. The benefit with this cleaning is that the carpets are gonna dry really quick cause they didn't get all that wet or saturated. This maybe a desirable cleaning method if you don't want long dry times and maybe you have a party coming up to entertain everyone.  Different situations call for different method. 

 If you want your carpets throughly cleaned all the way thru then steam cleaning your carpets is like a nice hot long shower. You wash with soap, you rinse, shampoo and rinse again to make sure you get all the soap out of your hair and skin. This is what steam cleaning does for your carpets, its the most thorough carpet cleaning process ever. This would be the equivalent of the hot water extraction method at a car wash with multiple steps. Now as for dry time with steam cleaning that will vary. How dirty and soiled was the carpet, how thick and dense are the fibers and even temperature and humidity levels. We always tell our Castle Rock customers just plan on leaving for the day and by the time you come home it will be almost completely dry, maybe just damp in a couple areas.
