Our dry times typically range from 2 to 6 hours. On average, it takes about three to five hours. Humid days may take your carpet and furniture longer to dry. Many factors, including weather, humidity, and airflow can affect the time needed to dry. With the hot water extraction method (steam cleaning), drying time is minimal and depends on the following factors: Type of carpet material, weave, and pile level of soil air circulation in the home humidity levels. Encapsulation carpet cleaning has the fastest dry times and is known in the industry as low moister cleaning. We offer both hot water extraction and encapsulation carpet cleaning methods.

Encapsulation carpet cleaning also known as “encap” or “encapping.” is a low moister carpet cleaning method which has been used in residential carpet cleaning and commercial carpet cleaning. Encapsulation uses a very new and revolutionary different type of chemistry! The encapsulation cleaning system applies a cleaning solution containing a crystallizing, acrylic polymer.

It is this polymer that helps create the magic of encapsulation. Encapsulation formulas also contain other cleaning components such as surfactants. The other ingredients, aid in breaking the bond between dirt, grease & grime and the carpet fibers. The encapsulation cleaning solution is usually worked into a carpet with an agitation machine. The machine types used include Cimex, Rotary Brush, Rotary Bonnet, Oscillating Pad (OP). There are others as well.

The agitation facilitates in breaking the chemical bond between dirt and fiber. It also mixes the encap solution with the soil and sticky-residue. Upon drying, the solution crystallizes rendering the residue to be completely non-sticky. Routine vacuuming removes the encapsulated particles. Whichever machine is employed, well-formulated encapsulation detergents can produce remarkable and incredible results! Most suppliers of encap products explain it as surrounding or encapsulating the dirt.

Carpet Lifespan (Extend the life of your carpet simple routine professional cleaning). If the soil is not removed from the carpet what can happen is the fibers of the carpet become scratched on a microscopic level which causes perminate damage to the carpet. Even after cleaning the carpet the damaged caused by the soil can leave the carpet looking dull. Having regular carpet cleaning services maintains the sparkle of the carpet for a longer period of time. Regular vacuuming is important as well to maintain the life of your carpet. Appearance (Regularly scheduled cleanings can help maintain the original look and luster of your carpet) It depends on the household. If your home has children, pets, smokers, or just a large family in general, you will need a cleaning more often than the alternative. The carpet is the largest filter in the home trapping soil, dust and particles in the air. Usually, it’s about every six to twelve months. The first reason is obvious: cleanliness. Over time, carpets accumulate dirt, dust, allergens, stains, and smells. This causes them to discolour, appear blotchy, and look haggard. A dirty carpet can also make your indoor allergies worse. Having your carpet cleaned regularly is the best way to preserve its appearance, minimize indoor allergens, and extend the life of your carpet.

Cleaning carpets regularly is important if you have asthma, allergies, or other health issues. IICRC recommends professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months, depending on level of soiling and whether there are children or pets on the premises. This varies from household to household. For example, if someone in your household smokes or has pets or busy children, it is recommended to have your carpets cleaned more frequently. Furthermore, if you know your home tends to be more on the messy side of things, regular carpet cleanings will likely be in your best interest. Typically, carpets should be cleaned at least every 6-9 months, especially in high-traffic areas. Some clients like to have their carpets cleaned in the spring time during their spring clean up of their home or business. Some customers like to have their carpets cleaned before and after holidays so that their home looks great for guests or cleaned after the guests have accidently soiled the carpets.

Vacuuming is essential to the longevity of your carpet. It is recommended to vacuum your carpet as often as possible. When vacuuming move your vacuum slowly to facilitate maximum suction is applied and the brush on the vacuum head can provide the most amount of agitation. When vacuuming move north to south and east to west to ensure that all sides of the carpet fiber are vacuumed. Edging is also recommended since often soil will hide close to the edges of the wall. Using a soft brush attached to your vacuum is also advantageous for removing dust, hair and soil that sits on top of the baseboards. Doing a quality and thorough vacuuming jobs results in better air quality in your home or business. Vacuuming beforehand removes debris and ensures a high-quality deep clean. Not vacuuming results in mud being created as the solution contacts the soil sitting on the carpet fiber during the carpet cleaning process.

The soil on top of the carpets also renders the prespray to be less effective resulting in diminished cleaning results. It is recommended to vacuum your carpet before the steam cleaning appointment.

Let’s begin by defining the difference between a spot and a stain: a spot is any foreign material (soil, liquid, etc.) that is removable by standard cleaning methods (The foreign material is on or around the carpet fiber). A stain is a foreign material (soil, liquid, etc.) on the carpet that is not usually removable by standard cleaning methods. (The foreign material has penetrated soaked into fiber and has changed or damaged the fiber itself). Some stains may be very difficult or impossible to remove. If we can not remove the stain, then it may not be possible to remove it. It depends on the stain. Some are difficult or simply impossible to completely remove, but we always use advanced stain removal processes and cleaning agents that are not available over-the-counter. Our success rate on stain removal is very high for all different kinds of stains. Mobi Cleaning Canada will do their best to remove every stain and discolouration from your carpet. However, some stains are impossible to remove. Consequently, no cleaning company can guarantee that 100% of the stains will be removed. Any spot that is not removed during the regular cleaning process is considered speciality spot cleaning which is not included in the standard carpet cleaning price. Speciality spot cleaning is quoted upon and discussed with the client before Mobi Cleaning Canada attempts to remove the spot.

Dirt acts as an abrasive when trapped in your carpet or fabrics and it is recommended to remove it using a professional cleaner to reduce wear and prolong the appearance and life of your carpet. Removing soil will help to extend the life of your carpet, rugs and fabrics.

Mobi Cleaning Canada recommends that you reapply protector after professional cleaning to restore the original stain resistance.

Carpet actually acts like a filter to trap pollutants that a professional carpet cleaner can remove. As long as you maintain a regular cleaning schedule, carpet provides much better indoor air quality than hardwood. When customers have hardwood they will notice there is more dust in the air which settles on their shelves, TV and many other surfaces around the home resulting in constant dusting. The carpet is not dirty or the source of the dirt. The source of the soil and dust come from outside the home, from food that accidently drops on the floor, from dead skin produced by humans and animals and many other sources. The carpet acts like a filter and traps these contaminates that would circulate in the air.

When you vacuum your carpet, you are removing the surface dirt and contaminants and giving it a fresher look. However, over time, the carpet fibres become soiled with ground-in dirt and oils from daily life, spills, children, pets, and other causes. If left undisturbed, these contaminants not only affect the appearance of your carpet; they also cause it to wear out faster and, more importantly, they can pose health risks, especially to people with allergies or asthma and to small children who spend a lot of time on the floor. The best way to maintain a cleaner and healthier home is to supplement your regular vacuuming with professional cleaning, which will get deep below the surface to remove what you can’t see. In the same way, furniture and upholstery should be routinely maintained to retain its original appearance; this includes tending immediately to spills and stains. A professional carpet cleaner can help you extend the life and esthetic appeal of the fabric and reduce the level of pollutants it has absorbed over time.

No two carpets are the same when soiled. A professional has the knowledge, training, expertise, processes and equipment needed for each situation. They will determine the correct procedure and technique for multiple carpet and upholstery fabric care and complete the task professionally and efficiently. Most rental machines are unable to provide the superior cleaning you will get from professional equipment. They cannot reach the required high temperature or vacuum strength, and the cleaning product will either be inferior or unable to perform as needed with these machines. Additionally, excess moisture and soap residues remain in the carpet, leading to problems such as bacteria, microbes, and mold growth. Soap left in the carpets will also act like a magnet, attract and hold soil resulting in dark spots forming over a period of time on the surface of the carpet, area rug or fabric. A trained carpet cleaning professional is knowledgeable in the PH (Potential Hydrogen) scale and knows how to leave the carpets residue free, clean and soft to the touch. Knowledge into the PH scale of cleaning agents, types of fibers and the PH of common spots is paramount in the cleaning process. Professional cleaning removes the risk while giving you peace of mind that the job will be done professionally.

Turning on a dehumidifier is one of the best ways to speed up the carpet drying process. They remove moisture from the room and collect it in a storage tank or direct it toward a drain.

Days that are cold and wet will result in longer dry times.
