Any home in Denver will benefit from regular carpet cleaning. Dull carpets make your whole home look dingy, but periodic cleanings can noticeably improve the environment. Guests will be more eager to visit, and you will feel more confident entertaining in your home. While methods like vacuuming and stain removal are good for in-between spot cleanings, regular professional cleanings are necessary to maintain the look of your carpet. Professional cleaners use several different methods.

Shampooing is an old method that began to decline in popularity in the 1970's. The first shampoos were formulated from coconut oil, and did not make for lasting cleanliness. Sine they were not rinsed out, a residue was left in the carpet, and that residue attracted dirt. Shampoos with a detergent base did not collect dirt, but they left their own residue of powder, which had to be vacuumed up.

A "bonnet" is a round buffer that looks somewhat like a floor buffer. Its absorbent pad pulls dirt out from the carpet, and must be rinsed and replaced during the cleaning process. A bonnet only cleans the top third of a carpet, and requires a good amount of drying time.

Another dry method, which is also Eco-friendly, is the use of a dry compound. Dry compounds can be applied using a hand brush and the vacuumed up, but when they are used commercially a rotary brush is employed and.the use of a vacuum is not required. Although this method is simple and biodegradable, it only cleans the top third of the carpet.

The use of a biodegradable dry compound is an environmentally friendly cleaning method. The compound can be applied with a hand brush and then vacuumed up, but this method generally cleans only the top third of the carpet. If this method is used commercially, a rotating brush system is used, and vacuuming is not necessary.

There are other dry and "very low moisture" cleaning systems. These systems require less time and labor than the use of shampoos or other wet systems. Since they require specialized machines, they are generally done by professionals.

Detergent is used for steam cleaning, and is left to penetrate the carpet before cleaning. Particularly filthy spots are treated in advance. After the solution has settled into the carpet long enough, a pressurized cleaning machine removes the dirt. It is able to do so because the detergent has freed the dirt from the fibers of the carpet.
