Adding carpets to a commercial building adds style. In addition to being budget-friendly, it adds a beautiful look to any room. However, the possibility of something like allergies being triggered or other issues occurring if carpets aren't kept clean is also plausible since they absorb dust, germs, and allergens like a magnet. Ellis Carpet Cleaning offers bonnet carpet cleaning and has provided this service for more than 30 years now. And, we highly recommend it for any carpeted commercial premises.
A Bonnet carpet cleaning can be defined as a type of dry cleaning that has been around for over 80 years. Bonnets are traditionally used to clean furniture with wet cloths and suction power generated by hand pumps. Eventually, its name was associated with vacuum cleaners with rotating brush rolls since they provided better results than the original method.
Throughout the years, Ellis Carpet Cleaning has served a wide range of commercial clients, including many that exclusively trust us with their carpet cleaning needs in present times. The carpet bonnet cleaning service that we provide is the best you will ever find. We set ourselves apart from the competition and provide exclusive and tailored commercial services.

With at least 10 years experience, they're hard-working and dependable. They provide high-quality professional bonnet cleaning services for hotels, offices, and other commercial properties.
Bonnet Carpet Cleaning
Here is how Ellis Carpet Cleaning performs the bonnet cleaning process:
Step #1 - Vacuuming and Colourfast Test
The first step in any cleaning is to vacuum thoroughly. By doing this, loose dirt particles will be removed, and the overall cleaning process will be more effective.
We also conduct a chemical colorfast test in an inconspicuous area, in order to ensure that the cleaning solution we will be using is safe for use on your carpet. The results of this test are combined with manufacturer's recommendations to choose the appropriate cleaning solution.
Step #2 - Spot and Stain Removal
Before using the bonnet machine cleaner, we will ensure that any spots or stains that are present in the carpet pile have been removed. Spot and stain removers are used in this procedure.
#Step # 3 - Bonnet Cleaning
Our next step will be to put the bonnet cleaner to work on the carpet. The pump-up sprayer in the floor machine is used to spray the chemical solution and dampen the soiled areas of your carpet without using excess water. After that, we place the scrub pad on the machine and start cleaning. We agitate the dampened area by overlapping each pass. Together with the chemical cleaning action, this scrubbing action transfers the dirt from the carpet into the pad.
Step #4 - Drying Time
The drying process is accelerated using a blower. Once the floor has dried, we vacuum the area to ensure no powdered soil remains in the carpet that was raised out of the carpet during the bonnet cleaning. The drying time takes roughly two hours.
Ellis Carpet Cleaning has an excellent cleaning system that maintains carpets at the highest level of appearance. Moreover, it is an excellent process for commercial applications, since it is fast drying. For any business that expects its customers and staff to return within eight hours of closing the day before, this factor is definitely important.
What Is a Bonnet Machine
Bonnet machines work in a similar way to rotary floor buffers; they move in circular motions to loosen and remove particles of dirt from carpets. It also has an absorbent spin pad; this pad attracts and absorbs most dust particles, which are drawn into a special pouch that can be emptied and washed later.
The bonnet pad is changed quite often to produce maximum results. Thereafter, the pad is washed and reused whenever it is necessary. If this is not done, it is possible for mold to develop inside the machine, causing odors and even health risks for people.
When To Use Bonnet Carpet Cleaning
Bonnet Carpet Cleaning is best used for commercial carpet cleaning due to the fact the machines can cover large surface areas quite fast. Here are some other times we recommend carpet cleaning:
This is done to make a carpet look its best on a monthly basis and/or to spot clean it. Or in between extraction carpet cleaning that might be performed once per year.
For extremely high-traffic areas where there is not enough time to use steam cleaning in areas such as a busy hotel lobby that must stay open 24/7. For these reasons, bonnet-cleaning outweighs carpet cleaning methods that require large amounts of water and long drying times.
Lastly, you need to get a bonnet cleaned if you've always gotten it done this way. If steam cleaning or hot water extraction is used after long-term bonnet cleaning, it will almost certainly cause stains because of the amount of dirt that will be lifted up in the process.
How Long Does a Bonnet Cleaning Take
This type of cleaning is very versatile, meaning that you can use it on any kind of surface in your home. It typically takes about a few hours for a few thousand square feet to be cleaned. In addition, this method provides excellent results since bonnet cleaners are designed to cover large areas. In addition, you will notice that the results are much more consistent and there is a lower possibility of oversights or omissions. This is because we make several passes over each area.
Benefits of Bonnet Cleaning
Bonnet cleaning offers a number of benefits:
Removes Dirt
Surface dirt and grime are gently removed even if they've been on the carpet a long time.
Absorbs Moisture
It is able to absorb a large amount of moisture. Especially in a commercial setting where downtime must be kept to a minimum.
Speed Drying
This method helps carpets dry pretty fast. How come? Since this is a very low-moisture method, there is not a lot of water used in this process. You can expect your staff to be back at work in approximately two hours.
Competitive Price
The decision-making process in dealing with carpet care can sometimes be frustrating for a business or property owner. We at Ellis Carpet Cleaning offer competitive prices that will save you money while ensuring that you receive a high quality service, so there's no need to worry.
What Are the Disadvantages of Using Bonnet Cleaning for Your Carpets
Bonnet cleaning was for many years the standard of carpet cleaning. As time passed by, it was then believed, even up to this day, that it does not clean carpets since it is simply spinning dirt around. Several carpet manufacturers have even stated that they do not recommend this method. It is said that it often wears down fibers and strips them.
Here's the thing to think about: If it is really the case, then why do Ellis Carpet Cleaning and other companies offer carpet cleaning services that do not clean the carpet and even cause damage to the carpet? Well, it's simply not true. It is safe to say that bonnet cleaning has its proper place in the world of commercial floor care.
The bonnet does not use hot water extraction, and this is the source of the myth. It will not remove soil if it is deeply embedded in the carpet, and this is a fact. The reason we combine the bonnet cleaning with step two is precisely for this reason. A spot clean is done on stains, and the bonnet is used on 95% of the carpets.
This can eventually lead to rapid re-soiling as the process wears down the carpet a little. A bonnet cleaning must occur more frequently than other methods of cleaning - such as extraction. But, this is also counteracted with the fact the method is generally cheaper than other methods that are more expensive. Additionally, using a bonnet cleaning system makes it hard to reach corners and edges. As a countermeasure, we use a combination of cleaning techniques to ensure that we have gotten into every corner of the room. We do not leave any part of the carpet unclean.

Recommended Carpet Maintenance
Whenever you schedule an appointment, it is crucial for you to know as much as you can about the history of your carpet. It is best to stick to the same method if you have cleaned your carpet with a bonnet previously. Furthermore, you should have a hot water extraction cleaning at least every two years if you get your carpets cleaned on a monthly basis.
If properly maintained, a good carpet should last anywhere from 8 to 10 years.
