Bonnet Carpet Cleaning

Here is how Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa performs the bonnet cleaning process:

Step #1 – Vacuuming and Colourfast Test

Before any cleaning, it is imperative that the room be thoroughly vacuumed. This will permit the removal of loose dirt particles and thus make the cleaning process more effective.

As part of our service, we also perform a chemical colorfast test in an inconspicuous area to make sure that the cleaning solution we will use is safe for your carpet. This test combined with the manufacturer’s recommendations lets us pick the best cleaning solution.

Step #2 – Spot and Stain Removal

We take the time to remove any stains or spots that are found in the carpet pile before using the machine. A spot and stain remover are used to achieve this.

Step # 3 – Bonnet Cleaning

Our next step will be to put the bonnet cleaner to work on the carpet. Using the pump-up sprayer in the floor machine, we spray the chemical solution and dampen the soiled areas of your carpet without using much water. After placing the pad with scrub strips on the machine, it is now time to get to work. The dampened area is agitated, overlapping each pass. When the chemical is combined with this scrubbing action, it transfers dirt from the carpet onto the pad.

Step #4 – Drying Time

The drying process is accelerated using a blower. As soon as the floor is completely dry, we vacuum the area to eliminate any soil that was lifted from the carpet during the bonnet cleaning process. The drying process takes about two hours.

Our cleaning system at Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa is a very effective method for maintaining a high appearance level in your carpets. And it’s perfect for commercial settings since the drying time is so fast. For any business, this is a very important factor. Staff and customers generally return within 8 hours of the close of their business the night before, or within as soon as it opens again the following day.

What Is a Bonnet Machine

Essentially, a bonnet machine works similarly to a rotary floor buffer, removing dirt particles from carpets using circular motions. The bonnet also features an absorbent spin pad that draws and catches most of the dust, which is drawn into a specially designed pouch that can be emptied and cleaned later.

The bonnet pad is changed quite often in order to produce optimal results. The pad is then washed and reused as needed. Not doing so gives rise to mold growing inside the machine, which produces an unpleasant odour and may even make it unsafe for people to use.

When To Use Bonnet Carpet Cleaning

Bonnet carpet cleaning is generally used to clean commercial carpets due to the fact that the machines are able to cover large areas quite quickly. Here are some other instances where this carpet cleaning method is recommended:

Normally, it’s used for spot cleaning and/or for regular maintenance of the carpets. Or in between extraction carpet cleaning that might be performed once per year.

This is suitable for extremely high traffic areas where steam cleaning cannot be used, for example, a hotel lobby that must stay open 24 hours a day. In these situations, the convenience of bonnet-cleaning is preferable to other carpet cleaning methods that require a great deal of water and a long drying time.

Finally, if bonnet cleaning was the only method used on carpets in the past. Steam cleaning or hot water extraction following prolonged bonnet cleaning may cause staining as a result of the large amount of impacted dirt that will be lifted up.

How Long Does a Bonnet Cleaning Take

Considering the versatility of bonnet cleaning, it can be used on a variety of surfaces throughout your home. A few thousand square feet of the area can typically be cleaned in a few hours. With bonnet cleaners, you get great results because they cover such a big area. You will also notice that the results are more consistent, and there is less chance of mistakes being made. Several passes are made over each area as a result.

What Are the Disadvantages of Using Bonnet Cleaning for Your Carpets

In the past, bonnet cleaning was the norm in carpet cleaning. Then things changed and even to this day, it’s often said that it only spins, cleans and moves dirt around, not really cleaning. Even carpet manufacturers don’t recommend it. As it tends to wear down and strip carpet fibres.

But here’s the question: How can Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa and other carpet cleaners offer a service that says it doesn’t really clean the carpet and even damages it? In this case, it is simply not true. Cleaning bonnets is definitely a part of commercial floor care.

A bonnet system does not use hot water for extraction, which is where the myth originates. As a matter of fact, if the soiling is deeply ingrained in the carpet then it will not be removed. But, this is exactly why we combine bonnet cleaning with step two above. The bonnet cleans 95% of the carpet that needs a refresh while the stains are spot cleaned.

This can eventually lead to rapid re-soiling as the process wears down the carpet a little. Bonnet cleaning is a method that needs to take place more often than other methods of cleaning – like extraction. However, this is also counterbalanced by the fact that the method is generally cheaper than more expensive methods. Further, a bonnet cleaning system can make it difficult to reach areas such as corners and edges. Fortunately, we’ve got a variety of cleaning methods to make sure we get into every nook and cranny. Such as shampoo carpet cleaning. Another service we offer. No areas of the carpet are left unattended.

For the past 15 years, Spotless Carpet Cleaning Oshawa has been providing carpet bonnet cleaning services to local businesses. We know all about the issues that can arise, but we’re sticking by what we do. Our methods have been refined and we are still able to provide a deep clean that will leave your carpet looking as good as new.

Recommended Carpet Maintenance

You should know the history of your carpet before you schedule an appointment. It is best to continue using bonnet cleaning if your carpet has previously been cleaned that way. Additionally, if you clean your carpets on a monthly basis, you should also schedule hot water extraction cleaning a minimum of twice a year.

If properly maintained, a good carpet should last anywhere from 8 to 10 years.
