What type of cleaning is required for protein, plastic/rubber, and puff-back soot residues?

Damp cleaning is designed to effectively address a variety of difficult residues, including protein, plastic/rubber, and puff-back soot. These types of residues can be particularly challenging because they often have tenacious bonds with the fibers of the carpet or upholstery, making them harder to remove with dry cleaning methods or through simple vacuuming.

Using damp cleaning methods allows for the application of moisture to help loosen and lift these types of contaminants. The dampness not only aids in dislodging the residues from the surface but also helps to encapsulate and emulsify the materials, making them easier to extract from the fabric.

In contrast, dry cleaning methods might not provide enough moisture to sufficiently break down these stubborn residues, while steam cleaning could potentially be too aggressive or might not be suitable for all types of fabrics, particularly those sensitive to high heat or moisture. Vacuum cleaning alone lacks the necessary cleaning agents and moisture, rendering it ineffective for removing difficult residues like those mentioned.

Thus, damp cleaning emerges as the most effective approach for dealing with these specific types of contamination.
