What Makes Carpet Bonnets Ideal for Cleaning Carpets

For many office managers or cleaning crews in charge of relatively small floor spaces, there is a tendency to mistakenly believe that carpet bonnets are counterproductive because bonneting just “grinds the soil into the carpet.”

They couldn’t be more wrong. An easy way to show how effective bonnet cleaning can be is to look at the very dirty water produced after a carpet bonnet does its job.

Carpet bonneting also makes carpet even more presentable because it evens out the appearance between low and high traffic areas, ensuring a uniform look in all carpeted areas of a place.

Another benefit of carpet bonneting, is fast drying times. When using carpet bonnet for cleaning, there is no need to pre-treat or wet the carpet because the scrubbing action replaces the dwell time normally associated with hot water extraction. The removal of this extra step means faster drying times, which in turn means that an area can go back to being used after cleaning, much faster than the down times normally associated with manual cleaning methods.

Cleaning with ETC’s Tiger® carpet bonnet produces several key benefits, including efficient cleaning and rapid drying. This method also evens out the appearance of a carpet between low-traffic and high-traffic areas and pulls out addition soil left behind after extraction.

Price is another important factor when it comes to cleaning. ETC’s Tiger® carpet bonnets are cost-effective because most facilities already have bonnet cleaning equipment on hand, and the speed of cleaning with this method reduces overall carpet maintenance costs. We know that property managers and building owners are always trying to save money, and this low-cost means of maintaining carpet is cost-effective for nearly any facility.

When done correctly, bonnet cleaning can improve the appearance of a carpet, even after extraction, because the carpet bonnets can pick up soils left behind during the initial cleaning process. As carpets dry, soil rises up to the surface and can be picked up by carpet bonnets.
