Features Of A Carpet Shampoo

By Michelle Campbell


Knowing what you need in a cleaning soap is very important to help you make the right choice for your cleaning needs. Every fabric contains dirt that needs to be dislocated for it to become clean and it is only a good soap that will be able to provide that effect. Consider good criteria for soap selection. View their components first before you purchase them to make sure that what you select is what you intended. Below are characteristics of a carpet shampoo.

Easy to form leather. For the cleaning to have optimal results, the liquid soap that one is using need to possess the ability to foam. This ability creates the ease of cleaning and dirt dislocation. They contain foam boasters which are special elements that not only increase foam but also increase the size of the bubble. This bubble contains the micelle which contains the dirt from the fabric. Therefore, the larger the bubble, the larger the size of a micelle and the larger the amount of dirt embedded hence cleaning faster.

Soften water. It should have the ability to soften hard water to facilitate cleaning action. Hard water cannot provide for cleaning effects because it forms insoluble substances in water which are hard to dissolve hence making the process hard. These scum also form on the surface of fabric hence dirtying it and damaging its texture. A good cleaning soap should be able to break the surface tension of water hence softening it.

Cleansing power. They have cleansing power which helps in the cleaning process. Compounds used to manufacture them contain surfactants that have the ability of cleansing. One part of them is an active oil combiner, and the other is water based, the dirt on the fabric is oil based, and therefore, the oil-rich part of the cleanser binds with the dirt oil component and the other with water to form a micelle. This micelle contains dirt at the center which is therefore washed by water easily.

Thickness. When soap is thick, the cleaning power of it is improved. It provides for the right concentration of all the components that make it up. These components facilitate the cleaning process ensuring that all the dirt is dislocated. Thickness and viscosity of a liquid soap contribute directly to its dilution ability.

Conditioning effect. Cleaning process exposes the fabrics into a harsh procedure which makes them feel irritated and for a long time, they can damage their texture. The conditioning effect of the soap help to restore their feel after cleaning and hence preserving their texture.

Preservation ability. They also contain compounds that preserve them for long. When these soaps stay for long, they tend to expire. This is because they are made of water and other inorganic compounds that promote the growth of bacteria hence causing expiration.

Fragrance. Without fragrance, nothing feels fresh even after a thousand times of cleaning. The washing process should have a smell that contributes to its effectiveness. When a carpet washed and dried comes back into the room, people feel the difference because of fragrance emission. The conditioning of the atmosphere in the house is through fragrance. A cleaning soap, therefore, contains fragrance oils that help to fragrant the fabric hence fresh feel.
