All You Need to Know About Steam Cleaning of Carpets
Steam cleaning your carpets is an excellent way of preserving them and ensuring they are clean and germ-free. Most households consider steam cleaning their carpets bi-annually. However, if you haven’t done this before, it’s worth considering exactly what steam cleaning for your carpets is and why this is a great idea. Let’s get started!
What is steam carpet cleaning?
Steam carpet cleaning primarily takes place through hot steam at high temperature and at high pressure that is emitted by a specialist steam cleaner specifically designed for carpet cleaning. The hot steam is then applied to the carpet and stained areas, after which it – together with the dirt – is dislodged and extracted from the carpet once again using a special suction nozzle and hose.
The steam cleaner initially releases the hot steam through a powerful pump and vacuum deep into the carpet. The affected area is then “agitated” before the liquid is sucked up. As such, it’s quite an effective way of dislodging dirt and stains. It’s also great for disinfecting your carpets, which can have health benefits. Especially for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Not to mention having a super clean home afterwards.
Is steam cleaning good for carpets?
The beauty of steam cleaning for carpets is that it can deliver exceptional results for your carpets. And all this without using harmful chemicals. The “superheated” steam is applied exactly where it’s needed. And on top of this, there’s no excess moisture left behind so your carpet will not be drenched in water after the steam cleaning has been performed. In short, steam cleaning is perfect for carpets.
