The price of commercial carpet cleaning can vary depending on the soil level of your carpets and the method of cleaning the commercial cleaning service uses.

The two most common methods of carpet cleaning.

Very low moisture carpet cleaning and hot water extraction are also known as steam cleaning.

Brief Description of Very Low Moisture Carpet Cleaning

Very low moisture carpet cleaning is when you use a bonnet pad, encap cleaning agents, and a rotary or oscillating pad machine to clean the carpets. Here's a photo of very low moisture carpet cleaning. You can also use what they call a counter-rotating brush machine (CRB).

Very low moisture carpet cleaning is a good method for commercial carpets, in my opinion.

Here at Clean and Thankful Cleaning Services LLC, we use an oscillating pad machine.

Brief Description of Hot Water Extraction, Commonly Called Steam Cleaning

So when you have your carpets hot water extracted or steam cleaned, it's the same method, just different terminology. Some machines can get more heat. So we will call it hot water extraction just to keep it simple. In the hot water extraction process, the commercial cleaning service will spray a pre-spray cleaning agent, then use a truck mount or portable machine to rinse and extract to remove as much dirt as possible. Here is a picture of a truck mount and a portable setup.

Each cleaning method has its benefits, but for commercial carpet, you can do very low moisture cleaning as often as you want, but hot water extraction should be done at least every year or so.
