The debate between heat and agitation methods among cleaning services - especially [URL=https://maidsinamerica.com/carpetclean/]carpet cleaning services[/URL] - has been going on quite a while among the more progressive and science oriented companies.Both our [URL=https://maidsinamerica.com]maids[/URL] and [URL=https://maidsinamerica.com/janitorial-service/]janitorial service[/URL] use both as appropriate.
A quick summary of the strengths of each illustrating why we use both:
Heat
- Great for grease removal (vapor cleaners)
- Great for softening carpet fibers
- Faster to dry
- Great for breaking down calcium/lime/rust (CLR)
Agitation
- Great for mostly all cleaning including grease removal
- Best for removing stains and stubborn dirt in carpet/upholstery
- Combined with mild acid works great for break down of CLR
The bottom line - scientifically - is that both heat and agitation used in cleaning (either or) increases the energy of cleaning chemicals causing faster movement of molecules.
