1. What is Steam Cleaning?
To thoroughly clean carpets, steam cleaning or hot water extraction cleaning uses water vapor heated to a high temperature at high pressure. A strong pump and vacuum send steam deep into the carpet, dislodging dirt, oils, and stains that cling to the fibers. Through a hose, water vapor and loose particles are sucked up from the carpet fibers.
To achieve the necessary heat and suction, steam cleaning is frequently performed by a professional company using a truck-mounted steam cleaner.

– Steam cleaning takes much less time to dry than carpet shampooing.

– Carpet steam cleaning typically requires the hiring of a professional service, making it less suitable for more frequent carpet cleaning and potentially more expensive.
