At Carpet Boss we offer VML Carpet Cleaning techniques witch is Very Low Moisture (VLM) carpet cleaning involves using minimal water and specialized equipment to remove dirt and debris from carpets. This method offers several advantages over traditional steam cleaning, including faster drying times, lower equipment costs, and less training time. VLM is often preferred for its environmentally friendly approach and ability to clean carpets quickly and safely
ADVANTAGES OF VML:
VLM methods use significantly less water than traditional steam cleaning, resulting in carpets drying much faster, often within 30 minutes to 2 hours. This is a major benefit for both consumers and cleaning companies, as it minimizes disruption and allows for quicker use of the cleaned area.
-
Lower Equipment Costs:
VLM equipment, such as oscillating pad (OP) machines, can be significantly less expensive than truck-mounted hot water extraction (HWE) equipment. This can be a considerable advantage for businesses looking to invest in new cleaning technology.
-
Less Training Time:
VLM methods typically require less training time to learn how to operate the equipment properly.
-
Environmentally Friendly:
VLM utilizes minimal water and often organic solutions, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to HWE.
-
Extended Carpet Life:
By removing dirt and debris, VLM can help extend the life of carpets by preventing wear and tear caused by prolonged contact with dirt and dust.
-
Improved Indoor Air Quality:
VLM can contribute to better indoor air quality by removing dust mites and other allergens from carpets, which can then be loosened and released into the air during regular vacuuming.
-
Ideal for Various Settings:VLM is suitable for both residential and commercial settings, including facilities open around the clock, as it offers quick and effective cleaning results between more thorough treatments
HOW VML WORKS:
-
1. Pre-Vacuuming:
A thorough pre-vacuuming removes loose dirt and debris, preparing the carpet for the cleaning process.
-
2. Solution Application:
A specialized cleaning solution is applied to the carpet using a sprayer or other methods.
-
3. Agitation:
An oscillating pad machine (OP) or other suitable equipment is used to agitate the solution into the carpet fibers, helping to lift and encapsulate soil.
-
4. Soil Removal:
Absorbent pads or microfiber pads are used to absorb the encapsulated soil and cleaning solution.
-
5. Drying:
The carpet dries quickly due to the minimal water usage, allowing for immediate use.
