A1 Carpet Cleaning utilise one of the latest technological advances in carpet cleaning technology known as encapsulation.

In the 1990s, new polymers began literally encapsulating (crystallizing) soil particles into dry residues on contact, in a process now regarded by the industry as a growing, up-and-coming technology; working like "tiny sponges", the deep-cleaning compound crystals dissolve and absorb dirt prior to its removal from the carpet.

After a thorough vacuum, the cleaning solution is applied by spray and then a rotary polisher is used to spin a bonnet which collects the dirt from the carpet.

The customer is requested to vacuum the carpet the following day to remove any remaining soil residue and fluff resulting from the cleaning process.

Encapsulation carpet cleaning keeps carpets cleaner for longer periods of time compared to other methods. Encapsulation also avoids the drying time of carpet shampoos, making the carpet immediately available for use.

The house dust mite gets its name from its habitat – household dust. The main component of dust is shed skin flakes, which is the mite’s preferred food source. Areas around the home that are heavily used, such as beds and upholstered furniture, will have much higher mite populations than the rest of the house.The most common type of dust mite found in Australian homes is Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, which tends to prefer coastal rather than inland areas. This mite has been associated with dermatological and respiratory allergies in humans, such as eczema and asthma. However, there is no single, definitive sign that house dust mites trigger a person’s allergy symptoms. Asthma, for example, can be triggered by a range of other indoor allergens such as fungi (moulds) or animal dander (dander is fluff from hair, fur or feathers).

The inside is probably more important to catch a potential buyer's eye.

There is nothing worse for a potential buyer, than to walk in and notice dirty carpet and upholstery, even though the upholstery does not come with the house, it still makes a bad first impression that could scuttle the sale.

The chemistry of stains is an interesting topic and is one that A1 Carpet Cleaning technicians are familiar with.

Each product that can possibly damage carpet or upholstery must be assessed to determine whether there is a chemical which can react to undo whatever reaction has occurred with the carpet. Unfortunately there are some substances which can permanently stain and there is no way the damage can be undone other than by replacing the affected area with another piece of carpet.

A1 Carpet Cleaning will honestly discuss with the customer the likelihood of removing the stain before the customer pays for a hopeless attempt to remove it. If you wish to tackle the stain yourself before calling A1 Carpet Cleaning, please use the link below.

Stairs are hot water extracted due to the fact that the carpet being cleaned does not allow for any other type of machine to be used.

Stairs usually deal with heavy traffic conditions and can be neglected during cleaning sessions thereby seldom getting vacuumed as regularly as other carpeted areas.

The step or horizontal section as well as the riser or vertical section require cleaning and this is usually only possible utilising manual scrubbing followed by extraction.

Please remember to include your stairs and mention them when you book your carpet cleaning with A1 Carpet Cleaning so that time can be allowed for this additional process.

Although there is an industrial cleaning process that is in fact steam cleaning, in the context of carpet cleaning, "steam cleaning" is usually a misnomer for or mischaracterisation of the hot water extraction cleaning method. The hot water extraction cleaning method uses equipment that sprays heated water (not steam), sometimes with added cleaning chemicals, on the carpet while simultaneously vacuuming the sprayed water along with any dislodged and dissolved dirt. Many carpet manufacturers recommend professional hot water extraction as the most effective carpet cleaning method. Actual steam could damage man made carpet fibers or shrink natural fibers such as wool.

The primary advantage of the hot water extraction cleaning method is that effective cleaning is possible using only hot water, or hot water with very dilute detergent solutions. This avoids the problems associated with detergent residues that can remain in the carpet with other cleaning methods. Detergent residues on carpet fibers can attract dirt from the soles of shoes as people walk on a carpet, causing the carpet to become dirty again soon after cleaning.

Since the use of detergents and other chemicals is minimized or avoided altogether with the hot water extraction cleaning method, this method is advantageous for persons concerned about possible chemical exposure, especially for children crawling or playing on recently cleaned carpets. This method also minimizes concerns about breathing volatile chemical compounds that might be used in other cleaning methods.
