PRESPRAYING

Prespraying is one step in the carpet cleaning process that is often underrated for its need or effectiveness. Yet, it is one of the most important procedures in carpet care. Pre sprays are powerful cleaners designed to penetrate oily soils and break their bond with carpet fiber. Thereby making the carpet cleaner perform more efficiently, giving a more uniform appearance to the cleaned carpet. Pre sprays may be applied using a pump-up, electric, pressure sprayer or hand held trigger sprayer. Pre sprays should be applied to the entire area of the carpet to be cleaned and allowed to dwell approximately ten minutes prior to machine cleaning.
