Keep Your Commercial Carpets Looking Their Best
Commercial carpets take a beating—foot traffic, spills, stains, and debris build up fast. Keeping them clean isn’t just about appearance; it’s also about creating a healthier environment for employees and visitors.
At Advantage Maintenance Inc., we offer two professional-grade methods to clean commercial carpets: steam extraction and encapsulation, “low-moisture carpet cleaning”. Here’s how each one works—and how to know which is right for your space.
Method 1 to Clean Commercial Carpets: Steam Extraction Carpet Cleaning
Steam extraction (also called hot water extraction) is a deep-cleaning process that uses hot water and powerful suction to remove dirt, allergens, and stains.
Best for: High-traffic areas, deep stains, annual or semi-annual deep cleaning
How It Works:
- Pre-vacuum the carpet to remove surface debris.
- Apply a pre-spray solution to break down soils.
- Inject hot water and extract using a carpet wand.
- Spot treat stains as needed.
- Post-groom the carpet to lift fibers and speed drying.
- Allow to dry (typically 6–12 hours with ventilation).
Method 2 to Clean Commercial Carpets: Encapsulation Cleaning
Encapsulation cleaning is a low-moisture, quick-drying method perfect for ongoing maintenance in office spaces, schools, and retail environments.
Best for: Routine maintenance, quick turnaround, large open spaces
How It Works:
- Vacuum the carpet.
- Apply the encapsulation solution using the encapsulation machine.
- Agitate with triple-planetary pads to lift soil and embed cleaning polymers.
- Let dry (within 30–60 minutes).
- Vacuum again to remove crystallized soil.
Steam Extraction vs. Encapsulation: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Steam Extraction | Encapsulation |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning Depth | Deep | Moderate |
| Dry Time | 6–12 hours | 30–60 minutes |
| Best Use | Stains, buildup, deep clean | Maintenance, fast turnaround |
| Frequency | Every 6–12 months | Monthly or quarterly |
