Steam Cleaning of Carpets and Rugs
About Carpet Steaming
Steam cleaning carpet is not actually steam. Actual steam would most likely delaminate the carpet so the phrase steam cleaning actually came from the appearance of steam as the carpet cleaning wand passes over the floor.
With most truck mounted carpet cleaning machines the water is heated to around 200 degrees. As you know hotter water breaks down oils and soils faster and more effectively.
The most important part of the steam cleaning process is the extraction. These new truck mounts are equipped with extremely powerful vacuum blowers that pull out the dirt and send it to the truck where it is stored there for leaving your home. You know where the dirt goes. It leaves with the carpet guy.
Steam cleaning is the preferred and recommended method of cleaning carpet for almost all carpet manufactures to not void warrantees.
