Bonnet carpet cleaning after steam cleaning
Bonnet carpet cleaning is a low-moisture, surface-level carpet cleaning method often used in commercial settings. It involves a rotating buffer machine with a cleaning pad (the "bonnet") that is soaked in a cleaning solution. The machine is then run over the carpet, where the bonnet pad agitates the carpet fibers and absorbs dirt and grime.
Key Features of Bonnet Cleaning:
Surface Cleaning: It primarily cleans the top part of the carpet, making it ideal for quick maintenance rather than deep cleaning.
Low Moisture: This method uses minimal water, so carpets dry faster compared to methods like steam cleaning.
Quick and Cost-Effective: Because it’s a faster process, it’s often used in high-traffic areas like hotels or offices where downtime needs to be minimized.
Limitations:
Not a Deep Clean: Since it only cleans the surface, deep-seated dirt and stains may remain untouched.
Can Lead to Build-Up: Repeated use can cause cleaning residue to build up over time, potentially leading to carpet discoloration or matting.
Bonnet cleaning is best suited for situations where regular, quick cleanings are necessary and deep cleaning isn't a priority.
