Carpet Care
Bonnet Cleaning
Bonnet cleaning is a surface carpet-cleaning method that uses a rotary machine with an absorbent pad, or bonnet, moistened with cleaning solution to lift soil from the top of the carpet pile for a quick refresh.
In Depth
It cleans only the upper carpet fibers, so it dries fast and suits frequent interim maintenance in lobbies and hallways. It does not reach deep soil, so it complements rather than replaces hot water extraction.
Why It Matters
Bonnet cleaning offers a fast, low-cost appearance boost between deep cleans, but relying on it alone lets deep soil accumulate, so it is best used as part of a layered carpet program.
