subject: Lexington Carpet Cleaner Services [print this page] Even though the IICRC (which is the governing body that trains and certifies carpet cleaners & works in conjunction with the carpet mills to ensure a proper cleaning method that will not void your warranty and will extend the life of your carpet) teaches this as the #1 most important part of the carpet cleaning process 95% of cleaners out there skip this step. If they will skip this vital step what else are they skipping? Some cleaners including some of the most widely recognizable national franchise names claim they vacuum with their truck hose where needed. Once again it is vital with these particles that the vacuum has a beater bar which beats against the carpet and bounces the particles up to where the suction can grab them. Please do not fall for their lies. A few other things skipping this step causes are as follows. When they don't pre vacuum or they use their truck to do it they immediately start clogging up their machines filter. Next since their filter is clogging more and more with every spec they do pick up their big powerful truck is loosing more and more suction. The more suction they loose the less of the water soluble contaminants in your carpet that were dissolved by the water and chemical they used can be removed. When they remove less of those contaminants you not only leave the floor initially dirtier, but it leaves behind a residue which attracts more dirt to the areas so it recoils much quicker and last but not least the dry times are greatly increased with less suction. As you can see something as seemingly simple as dry vacuuming is extremely important and cannot be skipped. We use Dyson vacuum cleaners exclusively because time & time again over the last 4 years they have out performed every vacuum cleaner I have had the opportunity to clean up after. I realize that vacuuming the way we do which includes doing all of the edges and corners takes anywhere from 20-45 minutes, but it's just one of the things we do to give you the most thorough cleaning on the planet.
