What Is Carpet Steam Cleaning

Tip! Do your research on the price list. Get a rough idea of how much carpet cleaning companies are charging in your areas.

Steam cleaning your carpet is the most thorough cleaning you can possibly get. Apposed to other cleaning methods such as dry cleaning you actually know where the dirt goes. It leaves your house and rolls away in the truck. The steam cleaning method uses the age old technique of soap and soak, agitate, and rinse with steamy hot water. Now that is clean. Once again apposed to dry cleaning the dirt and stains are extracted and stored in a holding tank in the truck. Dry cleaning only soaks and agitates, leaving the chemicals and dirt. It is missing the whole rinse and extracting method. That is like pre soaking your clothes in laundry detergent and then taking them out to dry with out rinsing. Would you wear them? Not me.

So, how does it really work?

1. Carpet is examined and pre-treated with the appropriate solutions.
2. If heavy soiled areas need to be scrubbed, it is scrubbed.
3. The pre-conditioners are allowed a reasonable dwell time to break down soils and stains.
4. The most important process is the hot water rinse. The 180-280 degree water is sprayed at around 600 psi and instantly extracted. This process flushes the dirt out and removes it from your home completely and the heat leaves your carpet naturally sanitized and leaves virtually no residues.
5. Finally your carpet is groomed with a carpet rake to lift the pile and provide efficient dry times.
6. When truck mounted units are used you get higher heat and only the hoses and wand are brought into your home. And dry time is cut to around 2 hours.

Tip! Vacuum Often Believe it or not daily vacuuming with a good vacuum cleaner that has good suction and a power head with a brush type power bar will help to eliminate soil build up and reduce the amount of times you will need carpet cleaning performed. That’s because the dirt gets picked up before it has a chance to get ground in and soil the carpet.

Steam cleaning is recommended by Shaw Carpet, Mohawk Carpet, and many other carpet manufacturers. Shaw and Mohahk are two of the leading companies and steam cleaning is the only method that will not void their warranty.

Just remember, if you choose any other method of cleaning then you are choosing to only get your carpets half way clean. No rinsing means no cleaning. Would you soap up your car and drive away with out rinsing? Would you eat off of a plate that just came out of soapy water with out rinsing? Would you put your baby on the carpet if it were not rinsed properly?
