Why the carpet Fibre Matters for Cleaning

Different fibres respond differently to:

  • heat

  • pH

  • agitation

  • moisture

  • stain removal

  • drying

This is why technician‑level cleaning produces better results — because the method is adjusted to the fibre, not a one‑size‑fits‑all steam clean.
