Carpet dry cleaning in Moscow with delivery to the Prima Cleaning factory

I want to warn you. A couple of weeks ago I decided to take my carpets to a car wash. For 3 large carpets they calculated a fairly decent amount - 2532 rubles. Well, that’s okay, I thought, but the house will be much cleaner. As it turns out, I was very wrong.

The carpets were given to me completely covered with a decent layer of dust. The following response was given to my remark: “What did you want, roadway. Vacuum your home." But it turned out that dust is not the worst thing. I found a scattering of machine oil stains on one of the carpets. The workers categorically refused to return money for poor cleaning. They say they knew where they were going and should have foreseen all the risks.

How to distinguish a handmade carpet from a factory one

“Prima Cleaning” is a professional carpet dry cleaning in Moscow. For 15 years now we have been doing our work efficiently, which has made us a leader in the Moscow region, as well as in neighboring regions. Our cleaning company will help you clean your carpet or restore damaged carpeting.

The choice of cleaning products for a product depends on the type of stain, material, and production method: manually or in a factory. It is important to answer this question so as not to damage the coating in an attempt to wash it.

Why can’t general cleaning be applied to hand made products? The fact is that in their production natural dyes are used, which are not resistant to many powders or shampoos. These products are produced on the basis of acid or alkali, and this environment reacts with the natural composition of the pigment. To remove stains on handmade canvas, only PH-neutral chemicals are allowed.

The most vulnerable colors of natural dyes are red, burgundy and shades of blue. Under the influence of the detergent, they will blur against a light background, and a pale spot will appear around the bright pattern.

Is it possible to independently determine whether a carpet was made in a factory or by hand? Yes, you need to pay attention to some features:

Tag. If the item is made by hand, the label will be marked “Handmade” or “Hand made”. The products of craftsmen are valued higher than those produced by conveyor belts, so the label must contain such information.
Bright reverse side. The backing of a machine-made carpet looks dull compared to the front surface. On handmade products, both sides look colorful, expressive, and perfectly replicate each other.

Fringe. When made by hand, the side threads are a natural continuation of the main part of the carpet. For factory-made products, tassels are sewn on top, so the presence of seams is a sign of factory production.

Edge processing. The most skilled craftswomen will not be able to sheathe the perimeter of the product as neatly and evenly as a machine. Therefore, a clearly stitched edge indicates that it was processed at the enterprise.
Minor defects. It is human nature to make mistakes, but a programmed machine is not. The presence of a slight difference in the elements of the design, asymmetry or mismatch of shades is confirmation that the work was done by a needlewoman and not by a machine.

Plays of color. In small factories where products are woven by hand, it is not always possible to dye a large number of threads at the same time. Therefore, the material may have different shades, since it was colored in parts in several containers. The background of a handmade rug takes on an interesting color effect.

Knowing these features, it is easy to determine the manufacturing method and select the appropriate cleaning product.

Cleaning the carpet at home: general tips

Not every carpet or rug is so easy to clean at home - compare a rug in the bathroom and a huge canvas for a hall with an area of several squares. Here we provide universal tips suitable for any such product.

Professional products

Let's look at specialized products for washing carpets in the table and in the photo.

One of the well-known remedies

An excellent professional product, but only available in large quantities

Inexpensive and high-quality carpet shampoo

Vinegar is a good cleaner

You can also use salt

And ammonia

"Vanish 3 in 1"	Quite a popular, well-advertised carpet cleaner. But not the best. It is best to use it to thoroughly wash the product. It’s just that wet cleaning with its help is not very effective.
Fra-Ber Lava Interni	A specialized product for both natural and synthetic carpets. An excellent Italian-made option. One minus - it is sold in 5 liter cans. True, such a container is enough to prepare 100 liters of cleaning solution.
Yplon	The product is both high quality and inexpensive. At the same time, it is suitable for both a vacuum cleaner and hand washing.

If the contamination is not severe, then it can be easily dealt with using soda, vinegar, salt, ammonia, and a soap solution made from laundry soap shavings.

Before using any product, always read the instructions for it!

Folk remedies

You will save a lot, but at the same time you will not lose at all in terms of efficiency if you use this self-prepared product:

1 tbsp. a spoonful of soda - baking soda or ash.
1 tbsp. spoon of washing powder.
1/3 cup 9% acetic acid.
2 glasses of warm water.

All components must be mixed thoroughly and carefully, without causing a large accumulation of foam.

You can also use improvised means

If you intend to wash the carpet, then the product should be applied in a thin, even layer to its surface and left for half an hour. Then brush and rinse with running water. For wet cleaning, the product is sprayed onto the carpet with a spray bottle, and then removed along with the dirt with the same brush.

Quite unusual for us, but very effective, are the following products, the price of which is symbolic:

Have you tried peeling cabbage?

Sauerkraut. Environmentally friendly and tested more than once by our ancestors. Take the cabbage from the jar, squeeze out the brine, and rinse under running water to remove the smell. The product should then be spread in an even layer on the carpet. And then – arm yourself with a brush and clean the product along with the cabbage. As soon as its slices turn black and become covered with dirt, replace them with new ones. And so on until the cabbage is clean after such cleaning.
An alternative to cabbage is salt, tea leaves, sawdust, pumice powder or bran. Cleaning follows the same scenario.

Types of cleaning

There are several ways to wash and clean your carpet, rug, rug.

Not all carpets are moisture tolerant!

In the bathroom

The best place to clean your carpet is in the bathroom. But for such cleaning it must first be prepared:

Collect small debris with a broom and vacuum the item.
Inspect the product over the entire area - somehow mark the most contaminated areas that need to be given special attention.

If your carpet or rug can physically be placed in the bathtub, then you need to do the following:

Roll the product and place it in the bathtub.
You can buy the detergent ready-made in the store, or you can make it yourself - add 2 tbsp for a bucket of water (5-6 l). spoons of dish gel, 50 g of ammonia and 50 g of vinegar.
Then, gradually unscrewing the outer part, wipe the product section by section with a damp brush and liquid detergent. Powder should not be used - it is more difficult to wash out from such a dense material.
If the rug is small, it can be completely soaked in water with the addition of detergent. When it gets wet, simply brush off any separated dirt and rinse under running water.
Particularly dirty areas can be rubbed with detergent and left to soak while cleaning another area of the carpet.
Finally, you need to thoroughly rinse the foam from the running water from the shower.

Advice! Do not use kerosene for cleaning - you will have to ventilate the carpet and room to remove the pungent odor for 1-2 days.

On the floor

If the carpet is large, it is not easy to wash it in the bathroom. In addition, if completely wet, it will take a long time to dry.

You can get by with wet cleaning of the floor.

Light and moderate contamination can be easily removed as follows:

Buy a carpet detergent - gel or powder, the advertised "Vanish" or a specialized product.
Apply the foamed product to the pile, sprinkle the soaked powder.
Now brushing, especially thorough on contaminated areas.
Wait until the product dries, then vacuum it up.

Advice! If a large carpet is very dirty, such measures are not enough. Only dry cleaning will return the product to its divine appearance.

In the courtyard

It’s great if you have the opportunity to wash the carpet in the yard - by laying it on tiles or asphalt, hanging it on a crossbar. In addition, if the carpet has an unpleasant odor, drying it in the fresh air will help completely get rid of this problem.

Convenient to clean carpets in the yard

Washing a carpet in an open space is simple:

Prepare the place for cleaning - it should not be dirty, dusty, or with sticky debris.
Knock dust out of the product or vacuum it first.
Wet the carpet by hosing it down or using a bucket.
Take your chosen detergent. Apply it evenly to the pile.
Lather the substance with a brush and clean the entire product with it.
Finally, thoroughly clean the carpet of dirty foam with water from a hose or bucket.

Advice! If the carpet cannot be wetted, then it is better to clean it in an open space in the winter in the snow. Knock the product thoroughly to remove dust - snow removes odors and attracts all debris.

Washing vacuum cleaner

A washing vacuum cleaner effectively helps clean the carpet with minimal side effects. However, be careful - the device collects only 90% of the moisture from the pile, which is why it is necessary to dry the carpet after such cleaning.

If you only have a regular vacuum cleaner on hand, you can purchase a carpet cleaner with active foam. It is enough to apply it to the product, wait a certain time, and then vacuum the carpet with a regular vacuum cleaner.

Washing machine

Is it possible to wash a rug in a washing machine without harming it? If you want to clean a small product for the toilet, bathroom, hallway, whose material is cotton, polypropylene, acrylic, then you can use the services of a washing machine.

You can also use a washing machine

How to wash a bath mat quickly and easily? For washing, you can use both liquid detergent and regular powder. The program is the fastest, the water temperature is not higher than 30 degrees, the spin intensity is medium.

Sink "Kärcher"

Another effective way is a special Karcher sink. However, it is best to use it outdoors. How to wash a rug using this method:

Place the foam nozzle on the hose.
Pour detergent into the device.
Apply the product to the surface of the carpet as well.
After cleaning from dirty foam and remaining dirt, rinse the carpet with a stream of clean water.

“Kärcher” is a universal device.
Visual tips are in the video in this article.

Drying

To prevent a wet carpet from becoming moldy and emitting unpleasant odors, which will make it unusable, you need to dry this product as quickly as possible:

In summer: in hot weather, it is enough to open the windows wider and turn on the fan so that the hot air dries the product faster.
In winter: a heat fan or heater on (with warm, but not hot air!) will help speed up drying. A hairdryer can handle a small rug. You can dry the product by hanging it on the balcony.

Dry cleaning of handmade carpets

It takes a lot of time and effort to produce unique hand made products. It is unforgivable to ruin such a carpet during cleaning. Do not rub it, use a vacuum cleaner or household chemicals on it. For everyday use, avoid contact with liquids. But if something does spill, you need to call professionals. Handmade carpets are cleaned only at the factory without the use of aqua solutions. The processing technology at Prima Cleaning depends on the type of fiber from which the product is made.

Instructions for cleaning Karcher equipment

It is recommended to wash the carpet on a firm surface with a slight slope

Before washing the carpet with Karcher, you need to do some preparatory work. It is important to find a washing area at the initial stage. A flat asphalt surface is best suited for the designated purposes. Ideally, it should be swept and dusted. The easiest way to do this is with the same Karcher.

If you find a site with a slight slope, the water will flow to the side by gravity during washing. This will make the process of rinsing the carpet much easier. There must be a source of electricity and running water nearby. Without them, the mini-wash will not work.

The carpet itself also needs to be prepared for washing:

collect large debris;
vacuum;
knock the product out on the street.

What material are handmade carpets made from?

Natural sheep wool is a warm, soft thread. To add extra shine, camel or goat fibers are sometimes added.
Silk is one of the most expensive materials. Products with a delicate gloss are obtained from the best varieties of these fibers.
Cotton is usually used to create the base of a rug or to highlight the contrast of its fine details.
Viscose is considered a synthetic material, but it is obtained from natural cellulose, a derivative of wood.
Designer carpets with adhesive backing are a stylish covering that can be matched to any interior.

Products made from different materials require special care when cleaning. For each of them we use the appropriate composition. At the beginning of the work, the technologist determines the type of fiber and contaminants. At Prima Cleaning, handmade carpets are cleaned in the most delicate way - dry.

What is dry cleaning

Hydrocarbon dry washing guarantees the preservation of the dye and fabric structure. This is a gentle cleansing without the participation of strong solvents. The essence of the method is that dirt is absorbed into the powder and removed with a vacuum cleaner, rather than rinsing it out in the usual way using water and detergent.

What are the advantages of the dry cleaning method?

Save time. The carpet does not need to be dried; it can be immediately laid on the floor or hung on the wall.
Gentle influence. The product is not damaged, since there is no aggressive environment.
Safety. The powder does not cause allergic reactions.
Complete cleansing. All contaminants are removed using a dry method, leaving no streaks.

Dry washing can be repeated many times, but it is not a cheap procedure. Why is hydrocarbon cleaning expensive?

High costs for cleaning compounds. Special products are consumed 4-8 times more than during conventional processing of factory coatings.
Expensive equipment. Delicate cleaning is carried out using the best machines that will not damage the product.
Technologist experience. When cleaning handmade canvases, you need to know the nuances of working with different materials.
Individual approach. Exclusive products are cleaned in different ways; the flow method is not suitable for them.
Manual labor. To avoid damaging the carpet, cleaning products are tested manually on the carpet. This requires increased attention and accuracy.

Each cleaning of a hand-made product is a process that is carried out in several stages and requires a lot of knowledge and effort from the technologist.

Errors are not immune

Is it possible to wash a carpet in a car wash? Definitely yes. The only question is how well it will be done.

Common mistakes when cleaning at the sink:

High humidity. Excess moisture leads to deterioration of the glue, which swells, forming lumps. The base loses its shape. Without having time to dry out, the carpet begins to deteriorate.
Excessive water pressure. A powerful jet often leads to unwinding of the pile threads.
Incorrectly selected cleaning products. Car shampoos and other compounds from the same series destroy the canvas. As a result, it becomes hard, sticky, and spots appear. In addition, such substances can trigger allergies.
Incorrect drying. Leads to product deformation and re-contamination.

Car wash employees, as a rule, do not have sufficient knowledge for proper processing, while a dry cleaning employee has the necessary skills, experience and an arsenal of special equipment.

Perhaps the only advantage of cleaning carpets at a car wash is the price, which does not hurt your wallet. But savings will be meaningless if the result does not live up to expectations.

Carpet cleaning at a car wash

Dry cleaning of factory made carpets

Products created at the factory also need care and careful handling. The following fibers are used for production:

Synthetics. The edges are finished with an even, dense row of stitches on both sides. The fringe is sewn to them separately. If you set fire to a fiber, it will not catch fire, but will melt.

These carpets clean best. They can be entirely machine washed using water-based solvents.

Wool. Like all factory products, this carpet has smoothly processed edges. The pile is matte, without a glossy sheen. The thread burns without an unpleasant odor.

Wool fibers are the strongest natural fibers. But cleaning them with ordinary detergents is unacceptable. Chemicals harm threads and dyes, the product is deformed, and the design on it deteriorates. Professional dry cleaning uses organic products that do not contain perchlorethylene or water-based formulations.

Viscose. “Cracks” appear on the outside of the product when folded. The reverse surface is smooth, with even rows of knots. When burning, the smell of burning paper is felt, and the thread itself turns to ash.

When exposed to aggressive chemicals, such a carpet sheds and the fibers lose their shape. During dry cleaning, we carefully remove dirt from viscose coatings.

High pile carpets (“shaggy”). They do not have a smooth edge. The height of the pile is up to 10 cm. The thread is matte, the surface does not have complex patterns. The fibers do not smolder, but ignite.

When cleaning, a spray extractor method is used. Due to the size of the pile, it requires more water than other carpets and takes a long time to dry.

Silk. The surface of the products does not break when bent; they are soft and pleasant to the touch. When set on fire, silk does not burn, but melts with the smell of burnt hair.

Coatings require especially careful handling when cleaning. We use certified products made in the USA, used for delicate fabrics. Such carpets are processed using the dry method. Home cleaning of silk products is contraindicated.

At professional carpet dry cleaning “Prima Cleaning”, a specialist selects a product depending on the properties of the fibers from which the fabric is made.

Specific cases

And here we will look at specific cases of cleaning.

Removing contaminants

In the table we have placed various types of carpet stains and methods for removing them.

Any stain must be removed as quickly as possible

Coffee Tea	A fresh stain can be easily washed with soapy water, but first you should dry the stain with paper and napkins. Use a soft sponge soaked in the solution to wipe off the stain, then rinse it with clean water with the same clean sponge. If the stain is old, then it is filled with glycerin for 8-10 hours, after which it is washed with a soap solution.
Blood	Wash off with cold, ice water. If the stain is dried, then cover it with a rag soaked in cold water for 1-2 hours, after which try to wipe it off.
Paraffin or wax	You should wait until the substance dries, and then carefully scrape it off with a blade or knife. The remains are covered with paper and ironed on top. The leaf should absorb the melted substance.
Plasticine, chewing gum	Freeze the contamination - ice in a bag mixed with salt is effective. The frozen stain is scraped off with a knife.
Wine	Without rubbing, blot away all moisture with a cloth. Then make a solution: 1 tbsp. spoon of vinegar, 1 tbsp. spoon of dishwashing detergent, 2 cups of warm water. Then you will need two rags - with one you will wipe the stain, and with the other you will immediately dry the stain. And so on until you take him out.
Cat urine	How to effectively remove cat urine from carpet? Stock up on baking soda, dish soap, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. The following are simple instructions: 1. Blot the cat puddle with a rag until it is dry. 2. Dilute vinegar in water 1:3 and moisten the stain with the solution. 3. Once the dirt is dry, sprinkle it with baking soda. 4. Mix 100 ml of water with the same amount of vinegar, add 2 tbsp. spoons of dishwashing detergent. 5. Pour the resulting solution into a spray bottle and treat the stain with it. 6. Beat until foamy, leave for 2-3 hours. 7. Then clean the area with a brush and clean water or treat with a washing vacuum cleaner.

Thus, for every problem there is an effective method.

For every pollution there is a method

Developmental mat

“Can the developmental mat be machine washed?” - many are interested. It can be cleaned both by hand and in the washing machine. For this, use only baby washing soap or special non-allergenic powder for babies. Do not forget to first remove all electronics (in most mats they can be easily removed through a special cut) before washing the educational mat, toys and other metal and plastic parts.

It is better to wash the educational mat

Yoga mat

Depending on how often you use the mat, you should wash it at least once a month.

The yoga mat also needs to be washed.

How to wash a yoga mat correctly? Clean it in the following way:

Soak the item completely in warm water.
Add a little powder (1-2 tablespoons) or lather laundry soap. We do not recommend using vinegar - it can negatively affect the structure of the material and give an unpleasant odor.
Using a soft cloth or sponge, removing the foam, wipe all surfaces of the mat, paying attention to the most contaminated areas.
Rinse under warm running water until clean, clear water flows from the mat.
Shake the product and remove excess water with a dry cloth.
Hang on the dryer to dry. Do not use electric dryers, radiators, or heating devices for drying.

Advice! Do not wash your yoga mat in the washing machine!

Carpet

Washing carpet is, of course, cleaning. For her, it is best to use a specialized product like Vanisha. The event itself is simple:

Cleaning the carpet

Try to make as much space as possible for cleaning.
Dilute, following the instructions, a certain concentration of solution using a cleaning gel, powder, or stain remover.
Using a rag or sponge, moisten the surface of the carpet with the product.
Walk over the surface with a brush, especially cleaning contaminated areas.
Use a spatula to remove all dirty foam.
Use napkins, toilet paper, or a dry cloth to dry the carpet.
In order for the coating to dry thoroughly, it is necessary to create a draft in the room for several hours - just open the windows.

Car carpets

Car floor mats can also be washed
Let's look at how to wash car floor mats. Pile products can be washed in two ways:

By hand in the bathroom: soak the mat with water, add powder. Then use the brush. In conclusion, all that remains is to rinse the product under running water and dry in a draft.
Can also be washed in a washing machine. The instructions are the same as for a bath mat: fast mode, low temperature, gentle spin.

Dry cleaning at home and at the factory

To clean factory-made silk carpets (as well as for handmade carpets), we use hydrocarbon washing in factory conditions. The remaining fabrics are processed in two ways: at home or dry cleaning. The client decides which option is more convenient for him. It all depends on the material, type of dirt, and where the carpet is used.

At the factory	At home
Possibility of cleaning any products, including silk or hand made	+	—
Use of industrial machines	+	—
Re-processing if the result is unsatisfactory	+	+
Combing and styling the pile after drying	+	+
No need to wait for delivery and guess the time	—	+
The carpet remains in its place for the duration of the entire wash, it is not taken to the factory	—	+
The owner watches the process	—	+
The procedure does not take much time, the result is visible after 2 hours	—	+

Comparison of washing in a factory and at home

Carpet dry cleaning at a factory eliminates stubborn stains and persistent odors with better results, but doing it at home will cost the owner less.

Dry cleaning of carpets with a fence at the factory

When is it better for a carpet to be factory washed?

In order not to spoil silk or handmade products, they should be processed only in a factory setting.
Natural materials - cotton, wool, skins - should be dry cleaned. This ensures high-quality results.
Parquet, laminate and other floor coverings should not be wetted. If the carpet lies on such a floor, it will not be possible to clean it at home.
At home, you cannot wash the foundation, brushes, or remove advanced stains.&

Each stage of carpet dry cleaning with transportation to the factory is carried out using professional equipment. Small debris is removed using a dust extraction machine. Then the canvas is soaked and cleaned with brushes and selected shampoo. After this, it is rinsed, wrung out, and sent to dry in a special chamber. When the product is dry, it is vacuumed, rolled and packed in cellophane.

Factory Processing Methods

Depending on the type of fibers and their contamination, we use several methods of working with products.

Production line. This is continuous washing, spinning and drying using professional detergents. The product is loaded into the machine and goes through several stages of cleaning and rinsing.
Dry cleaning. A safe way to clean antique and expensive items without using water.
Cleaning with rotary machines. The devices are equipped with brushes of varying degrees of hardness. With their help, stains, microorganisms, and larvae are removed from the coating.
Steam cleaning. Pre-treatment in which contaminants are softened but not completely removed. Steam is useful in the fight against dust mites.
Ozonation. A method for removing unpleasant odors, mold and bacteria. The procedure using ozone is carried out after cleaning the carpet from stains.
Aqua cleaning. Delicate washing, which uses detergents based on water-soluble surfactants.

We carefully select the appropriate cleaning regime and detergent for a particular product.

Other carpet cleaning options

The use of Karcher-type car washes is limited, at least by their availability. If you do not have such a device, use the following options:

The most reliable option among those listed seems to be the use of dry cleaning services in specialized companies. Professionals will ensure the selection of the most suitable chemical compositions, taking into account the length of the pile, the quality of its paint and the base of the product. In such establishments, the necessary technical means and places for proper drying are abundantly available.

Dry cleaning

Store shelves are replete with “safe” chemicals for dry cleaning the surface of carpet products. The attached instructions provide the methodology for carrying out this work. But it is imperative to use powerful vacuum cleaners to remove residual cleaning powder from surfaces. The ecological purity of the drugs is conditional.
If you have a washing vacuum cleaner with good efficiency and functionality, you can wash the carpet without moving it. You should not experiment with such low quality devices. The result is excessive wetting of the surface followed by unpleasant odors.
Involvement of a clearing company. The result of the work of reputable companies of this profile is comparable to washing products in a dry cleaner.
Washing small carpets in an apartment's home bath. The process is labor-intensive and thankless. An addition is the impossibility of horizontal cleaning and drying in a non-recommended vertical position.
Cleaning products in the yard of your private household without the use of special devices. The method that was used by our great-grandfathers, proven over the years. In early times, brushes of different hardness, elements of beating and long drying of products were used. Troubles can also be associated with the presence of pets. Drying outdoors in the sun can cause paint to fade.

Drying carpets

Important! When using car wash services, make sure to use detergents designed for carpets. Other chemicals may be toxic and their use is likely to cause problems.

So, using car wash equipment to clean the carpet surface is possible. To obtain a clean product without loss of color and mechanical qualities, you must follow the above rules. Particular attention should still be paid to completely drying the carpet, and when directly washing, use detergents applicable to this type of product. Where exactly to wash a carpet is an individual decision, but it is a good idea to carefully study the reviews of customers who have had their carpets cleaned in the chosen location.

Carpet dry cleaning at home

If the carpet does not need a factory wash, the technologist starts working at home. It takes place in several stages:

Use a powerful vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris.
Old, complex contaminants are removed separately.
A foam solution is applied to the canvas.
The coating is washed and dried using professional equipment.
The pile is combed and straightened.

To remove dirt at home, the master resorts to one of the cleaning methods:

Extractor. Using a special vacuum cleaner, the detergent is distributed over the surface and penetrates deep into the carpet. A chemical reaction destroys dirt, particles of which are removed by the same unit along with the remnants of the cleaning solution.

Rotary. After applying the detergent, the rotating brushes clean the carpet. Dissolved dirt and dust are sucked out from the surface.

The equipment used is much more powerful than a regular home vacuum cleaner. The machines do not let through a single particle of dirt or dust stuck in the fibers.

How to make foam?

The simplest option is a large sponge. Cheap, but a little tedious;
Spray;
Much better and more efficient is a foam nozzle. It is not always included with the device. Most often, a foaming agent must be purchased separately. Since this nozzle is specifically designed to produce foam, it is worth paying the extra money;
Built-in tank. Some models of Kaercher car washes have a plastic tank for a chemical cleaning solution. This is where diluted auto chemicals are poured;
The most convenient option is the plug'n'clean system, which we already mentioned above. It is well thought out and safe. The used container can be easily replaced with a new one.

Dry cleaning of carpets at a car wash

Read more
Many carpet owners use car wash services. This method has two advantages:

Affordable price. Car washes charge less than professional dry cleaners.
Rapidity. A convenient service if speed is important.

But these advantages hide a number of significant disadvantages:

Car wash workers were hired to wash cars and do not know anything about carpets.
Employees do not study the product, do not select a product, but use the first shampoo they come across. The composition is not tested for compatibility with the material.
Before washing, do not knock dust and debris out of the carpet, but rub it in even more.
High-pressure washers used on carpet can damage the fibers.
The canvases are dried outside in direct sunlight.
The product may be damaged by the fence on which drying is carried out.
Return a damp carpet that has an unpleasant smell of rot.
They do not provide a guarantee on the quality of washing or the safety of the product.

Although the cost of such a service is quite low, all these actions can hopelessly damage the product, which will have to be restored at a higher price. No one is responsible for any coating damaged at the car wash.

With a 95% probability, after such a wash, a carpet containing jute, cotton, linen, viscose, silk, glue or unstable dye will be damaged. Synthetic fabrics with wool deteriorate less often - in 40% of cases. The completely artificial product tolerates cleaning and drying without damage.

Thus, it is best to wash 100% synthetic coatings at a car wash. Cleaning is inexpensive, takes minimal time and will not harm the artificial fiber product.

Prevention

To ensure that the need for washing arises as rarely as possible, you need to follow a number of these simple rules:

Timely care will help put off washing

Remember to vacuum your carpet 1-2 times a week. This prevents dust and dirt from eating into the pile.
Try to clean the carpet from time to time and wash the floor both underneath it and the underside of it.
In those rooms where the cleanliness is not always perfect and the carpet can easily get dirty - in the kitchen, in the nursery, in the hallway, it is better not to place this product. The ideal place is a hall, living room, bedroom.

That's all we wanted to tell you about cleaning various carpets, rugs and rugs. Always pay attention to the recommendations of the product manufacturer, as well as the detergent and equipment for washing carpets - whether they are suitable for a particular item. And don't forget about prevention!

Removing stains

Stain removal is a complex and important dry cleaning process. The technologist is required to be able to determine the type of stain, understand the materials, and accurately select the appropriate detergent.

Pre-treatment of the product is carried out in the presence of difficult-to-remove contaminants, which will become fixed during cleaning in the machine. At the initial stage, debris is removed with a professional vacuum cleaner. Then the following steps are performed:

surface inspection;
determination of the type of pollution;
studying the carpet manufacturer's recommendations;
selection of a cleaning product suitable for the type of fiber.

First of all, the reaction of the paint to the product used is checked. To do this, a drop of the composition is applied to the wrong side. After 15 seconds, they remove it and look at the changes in the pigment: whether it has become discolored or “swimmed.” In this case, a more gentle drug is selected. If the color has not changed, proceed to stain removal.

Depending on the composition of the pollution, several types of stains are distinguished. An experienced technologist distinguishes them during inspection.

Protein – dairy products, blood, urine, results of sexual activity. Such pollution has a noticeable boundary. Old marks become hard and dark compared to the background.
Tannic – white and red wine, beer, juices. They have clear contours. Color ranges from light yellow to dark brown, becoming lighter as they age.

Chemical - felt-tip pens, paints, varnishes, pens, slime. They have a color characteristic of the source and clear boundaries. Over time, paint and varnish stains become hard. If you wet them with water, they will appear in the damp area.
Fatty – greasy, fat, dirt. They do not have strict contours. The color of fresh contamination is always darker than the main tone of the material. As it ages, the mark becomes lighter.

All types of stains are divided into fresh and old. Over time, the carpet becomes more and more difficult to clean from dirt, and after the formation of strong chemical bonds with the thread and pigment, it becomes irremovable.

Often the stain contains substances from different groups. Such pollution is called complex. They are particularly difficult to work with because each component requires separate cleaning methods. Sometimes it is impossible to combine them due to the characteristics of the fiber. In such cases, professional dry cleaners use complex stain removers containing several types of solvents and additives. These compositions provide high quality washing.

Thus, for stain removal, products are used that do not damage the dye or fiber structure. We guarantee that the product will not be damaged during the cleaning process, and traces of dirt will not appear over time.

Rubbing the cleaning solution into the carpet.
Removal of the product using an automated method under pressure.

Modern technology, combined with high-quality products, gives one hundred percent results in removing unpleasant odors from coatings.

A burst pipe or a broken washing machine is a natural disaster on an apartment scale. Floors and carpets suffer the most from water. What happens to the product after flooding?

Stains and stains appear on the carpet.
The canvas exfoliates and becomes covered with waves.
The product acquires a musty smell.
Mold and pathogenic microorganisms multiply in the pile.

The carpet not only looks bad, but also harms the health of people and animals. Drying the canvas will not correct the situation if the product is damaged. It is important to put it in the hands of professionals in a timely manner, and not try to bring it into proper shape yourself.

Technologists work with carpets that have survived flooding in several stages. The duration and details of the process depend on the thickness of the pile and the type of fiber.

Extracting moisture using the extractor method.
Application of antifungal agents.
Cleansing from impurities.
Combing and styling the pile.
Removing residual moisture.

It is important to assess possible damage and transport the product correctly so as not to permanently damage it. Therefore, when giving the carpet for cleaning, it is better to entrust its removal to specialists.
