Using the right carpet cleaning equipment, chemicals, and techniques, goes a long way in not only cutting down the time you spend cleaning but also giving you your desired end goals. It improves the appearance of your home, enhances indoor air quality and extends the life of your rug. Ineffective cleaning, on the other hand, deprives you the attractive features carpets provide. Contrary to what most people think, carpet cleaning is not done merely for visual effects. Its benefits include improving the wellness and health of your family members particularly the elderly and children who spend the better part of the day indoors. Health practitioners even recommend cleaning carpets at least three times a week in homes where there are asthmatic members.

Health Benefits of Carpet Cleaning
1. Eradicates trapped pollutants
Dirty carpets contain everyday dirt and dust as well as particle pollutants, lead, pet danger and cockroach allergens. Toxic airborne gasses stick and become caught up in your carpet. When you walk over it, the toxic gasses are released into the indoor air which then becomes contaminated. Cleaning your carpet using the right equipment and solutions, eradicates the deeply trapped pollutants.

2. Clears dust mite’s infestations
Since dust mites are microscopic, it’s hard to detect their infestation. The infestation is essentially body fragments and feces, not dust mites themselves. When an infested area is disturbed, inhabitants innocently inhale the particles, potentially irritating allergic household members. Carpet cleaning, done with the aid of state-of-the-art equipment, exposes the mites to extremely high temperatures meritoriously killing them.

3. Prevents Mold Growth
The possibility of mold growing in dirty rugs is high, particularly in areas where high humidity. During rainy weather, water can be tracked indoors. Failing to vacuum or dry your carpet immediately will make the moisture to sink deep inside the fiber. Thoroughly clean your carpets using high-powered drying equipment to annihilate the moisture and prevent mold and mildew growth.

4. Carpet Cleaning Equipment
The equipment includes a lot more than the heavy machinery that does the cleaning; it includes everything you need to clean your carpet either residentially of commercially. The equipment thus entails a portable gear such as steam carpet cleaners suitable for home usage, or truck mounted cleaning gear, that you cannot easily move around and hence usable for industrial-size cleaning tasks. Truck mounted equipment is incredibly huge and as such resides in any form of transportation, say a truck or even a van. 

5. Portable Rug Cleaning Equipment
This equipment utilizes heat and water to clean the carpet, making it a steam carpet cleaning mechanism of some sorts. Brushes stir the stains while the cleaning machine blasts hot water on the carpet breaking up the stain. The heat then dries the rug. The model is not appropriate for heavy industrial use; it is suitable for light stains following typical home spills. The shortcoming of this method is the heat generated is not enough to sufficiently dry the carpet. It will take your carpet some days to dry potentially causing mold issues.

Benefits
1. Affordable:
Considering you will not need a truck to move it around; the overall cost of using this method is lower compared to truck-mounted models. It is also ideal for small scale cleaning and as such the initial cost of buying the equipment is somewhat low. 

2. Does not require special skills to operate:
Unlike Truck mounted which must be operated by qualified personnel, portable equipment is less complicated. As such, with little technical skill and experience, you can use it for personal residential purposes. 

3. Ideal for heat sensitive carpets:
The extremely high temperatures of van mounted cleaners can spoil the delicate threads of the carpets permanently. Portable carpet cleaning machines, particularly those with low flow technology, are capable of delivering up to 210 degrees Fahrenheit thereby removing even the most stubbing stains from carpets. 

4. Truck Mounted Equipment
As its name suggests, this equipment is typically mounted either to the floor of the floor of the Van/truck or its trailer. It contains long hoses that can penetrate deep into commercial establishments from the van housing the equipment. The main outstanding benefit of this type is that you can mount it on different kinds of vehicles. You can also easily transfer it from one vehicle to another.

5. Types of Truck Mounted Cleaning Machines 
Truck mounted models can either be slide in or Truck-powered. Unlike the self-powered Slide-in models, Truck powered equipment use the vehicle’s engine to power the system; they also tend to be compact in designs and hence take up less space. On account of its size, truck mounted unit is very dangerous to use; it uses pounds/square inch of water pressure to cleanse carpets. They, therefore, should only be used by individuals who are skilled and experienced. 

Benefits
1. Attain high water temperature:
The higher the temperature of the water used to clean a carpet, the better the results. Heating water to extremely high temperatures facilitates faster and complete reaction between the dirt, grime on the carpet and the cleaning solution. The grime breaks down at a molecular level more efficiently so it can be eradicated and the carpet fibers thoroughly cleansed. 

2. Reduced dangers of accidents:
Risks of spilling cleaning solutions when refilling/emptying the machine, leading to stubborn stains on your rug is less since the equipment is outside your house. The only thing that enters your home is a cleaning wand and a hose.

3. Ease and speed of operation:
You do not have to unload the equipment, the solution and all other necessities from the truck and then set them up before starting the cleaning process. Everything is ready to go, so the cleaning begins as soon as the equipment arrives at your establishment. The changes you make to your usual routine are also minimal.

Conclusion
There are very many benefits of having a carpet in your home or commercial establishment including reducing the noise produced by pedestrians and tools. It is also an expression of elegance and acts as a symbol of success. Frequently cleaning your carpet, using the right equipment, goes a long way in extending its life, among many other benefits
