How does Hot Water Extraction - Steam Carpet Cleaning work?
Suitable for synthetics/mixed (microfibre, man-made, polyester) and woollen fibre
​
​
Step 1 Pretreating the item
In this method, we use more advanced version of the regular steam cleaning. Before the actual carpet cleaning procedure takes place, the technician will vacuum clean the piece to remove that first layer of loose dust. Then, he will examine the stains (if any) and choose the appropriate detergent for each. Spilled drinks, greasy food splatters, and so on – whatever it is, it will be dealt with accordingly. However, keep in mind there are stains that permanently damage the fabric and they are impossible to clean. If our methods can’t clean them, nothing will.
Step 3 Scotchgard stain protection - recommended for high traffic areas
To protect your freshly cleaned items and prolong their life, your technician can use the highly effective stain repellent on them. The repellent is applied evenly on the pile of each individual item and provide reliable protection against all kinds of stains by not allowing them to settle on your rug's surface. This way, your items will remain fresh much longer and they will be a lot easier to clean the next time.
Step 4 Short drying time
After hot water extraction, the textile floor covering is slightly damp and needs 3 to 6 hours to air-dry on its own. The carpet cleaner will also bring an air-mover for free for the duration of the service. It will be situated near the treated floor coverings. This will significantly speed up the drying process (with a few hours) by increasing the airflow.

Step 2 Main cleaning procedure
This is the most efficient and longer-lasting carpet cleaning method on the market. It brings even the most blemished and heavily-soiled textile floor coverings back to life. Here is how the steam carpet cleaning works:
-
The technician uses a professional machine to deep clean every inch of the carpet.
-
The nozzle ejects pressurised water mixed with a detergent. This easily dislodges all accumulated grime and dust.
-
At the same time, a powerful suction attachment is removing all the excess moisture from the piece (along with the loosened dirt).
-
This way, your carpet is being cleaned and dried at the same time, with no risk of damage – nearly 95% of the moisture is removed almost simultaneously.
-

NOTE: Derin Cleaning Services does not hold any responsibility for damage that might occur on your carpeting after professional cleaning in case you have attempted to remove existing stains on your own by using unknown to us detergents of your own choosing.
Dry carpet cleaning method
Suitable for delicate/natural fibre (100% cotton, sea-grass, sisal, jute and other organic materials)
Step 1: Applying the detergent
Low moisture powder is applied evenly on the textile.
Step 2: Rubbing it into the fibres
The detergent is rubbed into the carpet with a brush that rotates at a safe speed. This process is known as fibre agitation. When the chemical agent is rubbed in, the dirt and other unsanitary debris attach to it.
Step 3: Removing residue
At the end, the powder, along with all the loosened dirt, are removed with a power-vacuum.
NOTE: This cleaning method is great for refreshing delicate rugs and carpeting but please keep in mind that it can not remove stains.

Frequently asked questions
Q: How do you clean the carpets?
​
A: The deep carpet cleaning method we use is hot water extraction. This procedure is used to treat both carpets and upholstered furniture. Although this treatment is widely known as steam cleaning, it is more advanced than a regular steam cleaning process. Hot water extraction couples high pressure, for agitation of the carpet fibres, with hot water to speed up the reaction time. This is how professional steam carpet cleaning works:
A high-pressure nozzle shoots a powerful stream of hot water and cleaning product deep into the fibres of the carpet. A suction hose works simultaneously to pull back the water and cleaning solution along with any soil, dust and grime, to leave the carpet deeply cleaned. The nozzle can suck up around 95% of the liquid.
Professional steam carpet cleaning is appropriate both for synthetic rugs and those made of wool fibres.
Q: Which treatment is better, steam or dry cleaning?
​
A: We strongly recommend steam carpet cleaning, as this method delivers the best results, both for hygiene and for the appearance of your floor piece. Hot water extraction removes unpleasant odours and unsightly stains and kills bacteria, which makes it particularly suitable if there are allergy sufferers in your household. Dry carpet cleaning methods are used mostly for delicate floorings that cannot be treated with water.
​
Q: How long will it take for my carpets to dry after a steam cleaning?
​
A: The drying time depends on the type of the carpet fibres, but it usually takes between four and six hours. Please avoid walking on the carpet until it has dried completely, to prevent re-soiling and slips.
Q: Do you move furniture?
​
A: The professional carpet cleaning service requires just one technician, so they are only able to move light furniture pieces (as long as this doesn’t pose any extra risks for their safety).
