What Is Steam Carpet Cleaning?

Steam cleaning or hot water extraction is a carpet cleaning method that involves spraying heated water and detergent on the carpet. The term "steam cleaning" describes this method, although water steam is not used. The high temperature needed to produce steam could damage the fibers and even change the carpet's characteristics. In hot water extraction, or HWE, the heat is high enough to perform a deep clean while leaving the fibers intact.

Steam cleaning, or HWE, is considered the most reliable way of deep cleaning for carpets. When done by experts and with proper pretreatment techniques, steam cleaning will remove over 95% of dirt, bacteria, and other contaminants without damaging the carpet or changing its properties.

How Does Steam Carpet Cleaning Work?

Before the HWE treatment, the cleaning technicians will vacuum the carpet to remove whatever dirt might be on the immediate surface. If there are stains on a particular carpet section, those will also be treated and cleaned before the steam cleaning. The final step in preparing the carpet is the application of a highly alkaline pretreatment solution that will soften the fiber surface. This will help the water to penetrate the weave and thoroughly remove all dirt.

The steam cleaning or hot water extraction process itself is done by spraying a heated water and detergent solution under high pressure. Professional machines used in steam cleaning need to have ample power to push the water into the carpet and vacuum it out. The machines can be portable or truck-mounted. Portable machines are better for accessing rooms that are harder to reach, while the truck-mounted models have more power and thus clean and dry the carpet faster.

Benefits of Steam Carpet Cleaning

Steam cleaning offers the most effective method of deep cleaning carpets. It removes almost all the bacteria, allergens, and dirt from the fibers, so any carpet treated this way will present less or no health risks. Considered the ultimate solution when it comes to carpet cleaning, HWE will manage to produce results that all other methods might not. 

Because of the powerful deep cleaning, all unpleasant odors will disappear, whether caused by mold, bacteria, dirt, or pet scents. Heated water will, naturally, leave no bad smells behind, and neither will the cleaning solution. Carpets treated with heat will also have a restored appearance, most noticeable in areas with high foot traffic. Besides being cleaner than ever, the carpet will be visibly refreshed.

All substances used in steam carpet cleaning are designed not to leave any dry residue on the fibers. The cleaning solution will be vacuumed along with the water. While steam cleaning introduces moisture to the carpet, it does so to a lesser degree than washing it by hand. If the cleaning is done professionally, most of the water will be removed and the carpet will be dry by the end of the process.
