Gary’s Carpet Cleaning has been in business since 1988. We work with both private residents and many commercial businesses throughout Kitsap County. We use a truck- mounted steam cleaning method. This allows us to get our water up to 250 degrees, and we get out even the toughest stains. This method is also called warm water extraction and is the cleaning method nearly all carpet manufacturers and carpet fiber producers recommend. It is the only cleaning method classified as “deep cleaning”. All the others are considered “light surface cleaning” because they are iincapable of removing soil deep in the pile. Also, all other methods leave large amounts of cleaning agent in the carpet after cleaning.
The maintenance brochures published by the world’s largest carpet manufacturers, recommends this method, because its own research indicates that it provides the best capability for cleaning.
This method is frequently called “steam” cleaning due to the fine spray of water used to force dirt out of the carpet, which is then sucked up by the vacuum slot immediately in front of the spray. Seldom is real live steam used, however. This process consists of spraying a solution of water and detergent into the carpet pile and recovering the water and soil with a powerful vacuum into a holding tank. This can be done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and floor tool brought inside.
From a health standpoint, the truck-mounted system is preferred because the dirty air and humidity are exhausted outside rather than recirculated around the house. Additionally, truck-mounted systems usually are more powerful than portable units and do a much better cleaning job and get the carpet dry more quickly.
