What is Steam Carpet Cleaning?
Steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction, is the most effective method for deep cleaning carpets. It's the method recommended by major carpet manufacturers and the Carpet and Rug Institute.
How Steam Cleaning Works
The process involves:
- Pre-treatment of stains and high-traffic areas
- Hot water and cleaning solution injected deep into carpet fibers under high pressure
- Agitation to loosen embedded dirt
- Powerful extraction to remove water, dirt, and cleaning solution
- Optional deodorizing and fabric protection
