Carpet cleaning over last 10 years has come so far. With technology moving along in a rapid pace chemicals and machinery have now replaced good old-fashioned hard work.
Pre-spray is a particular chemical which is used to spray on the carpet before the carpet cleaner starts the carpet cleaning process. Generally this is done upon arrival as the longer the pre-spray sits in the carpet, the more effectively it will be in breaking down dirt and debris. In most situations the pre-spray occurs when the carpet cleaner is setting up their equipment.
What pre-spray is designed to do is similar to that of a stain remover. It sits on the carpet and helps loosen up any soil which might otherwise the difficult to remove with hot water extraction. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad carpet cleaning operators out there nowadays who don’t use pre-spray. The reason they don’t, is it takes up too much time when their generally looking to get in and out of the property as quickly as they can.
Generally when I’m cleaning carpets usually it’s takes me around 10 minutes respray a typical three bedroom home. But the benefits far out why the time spent. Nowadays I don’t have to add any chemicals to my reservoir apart from a defoamer. The particular priest rayon using at the moment is working wonders by a company named rapid.
I’ve noticed a huge difference whenever I don’t use a pre-spray, but I also use a pre-spray because I don’t have to use as much chemicals in the carpet cleaning process, which most people like. If I’m just using straight hot water and letting the pre-spray do all the work, I don’t have to add any more chemicals to the machine therefore it’s more cost effective as well. But as I said it works so much better in loosening up soil and dirt making the cleaning process a lot easier and far more cost effective.
There are a lot of good pre-spray on the market nowadays. You can get even a generic brand from your local carpet cleaning supplier. I recently picked up a bottle for around $20 and it has a nice aroma or citrus perfume added. It almost smells like fabric softener. People love that they can smell the clean aroma when there walking into the property just after its been steam cleaned. This also eliminates the deodorising process.
So if you’re new carpet cleaner and you’re wondering whether or not to pre-spray carpets, there’s nothing to think about. You’ve seen all the benefits outlined above and it would help the cleaning process go smoother, customers will comment on how clean the carpets or upholstery is, you’ll cut down on chemicals therefore saving yourself money and most the time you won’t need to deodorised the carpets.
