On-site Area Rug cleaning $50

After a cleaning product is deposited onto the surface as mist, a round buffer or “bonnet” scrubs the mixture with a rotating motion. This industry machine resembles a floor buffer, with an absorbent spin or oscillating pad that attracts soil and is rinsed or replaced repeatedly.

The bonnet method is not strictly dry-cleaning.

To reduce pile distortion, the absorbent bonnet should be kept well-lubricated with a cleaning solution. It is not recommended to dunk the bonnet in a bucket of cleaning solution and then wring it out with a mop-bucket wringer, as this will make the bonnet too wet. It is important to change or turn the bonnet early, as bonnets can become filled with soil in just a few hundred square feet.

Once loaded with soil, the bonnet will not hold anymore; instead, it simply moves the soil from one area to another. An overly wet bonnet also deposits residues that attract soils when they are dry, creating the need to clean more often.

It is recommended for robust and not for high floor carpet, it swirls the floor. It distorts pile and grinds dirt deeper in carpet fiber, and also has an abrasive effect.
