Carpet extraction
Hot-water extraction that injects solution into carpet pile and recovers it under vacuum, lifting embedded soil rather than redistributing it. In an aircraft the recovery step matters more than in a building because underlay moisture is a corrosion risk.
What it means
Hot-water extraction that injects solution into carpet pile and recovers it under vacuum, lifting embedded soil rather than redistributing it. In an aircraft the recovery step matters more than in a building because underlay moisture is a corrosion risk.
Why it matters
Over-wetting an aircraft carpet risks moisture reaching the floor structure. Controlled extraction is the difference between clean and a maintenance problem.
