Overview of Different Carpet Cleaning Methods

Method                                                   Description

Dry Foam Shampoo   Done by dry foam machine, which consists of a pressure tank in which a solution of
                   water and shampoo is added.

Wet Foam Shampoo   Clean with single disc scrubber, followed by thorough wet vacuuming. Wet shampoo
                   residues can be foamy and sticky.

Rotary Bonnet Cleaning This method uses a floor machine with an absorbent spin pad (cotton or nylon)
                                  attached to remove the soil. The carpet is sprayed with an approved chemical or
                                  shower fed to the bonnet. This cleaning process absorbs soil into the pad and the
                                  soil is removed when the pad is rinsed or laundered.

Absorbent Powder   An absorbent compound saturated with detergents, solvents and liquid is brushed in
                   the carpet and around the fibers with a brush-operated machine. The compound
                   attaches to the soil particles and both the soil and compound are then removed by
                   vacuuming.
