It’s a common misconception that steam cleaning carpets involves soaking the carpets to clean them. But few people know that, when performed by a trained and knowledgeable professional, steam cleaning does not soak the carpets, although the process does use water.
Here are a few facts about how steam cleaning works:
- Heat paired with controlled water pressure: Steam cleaning pairs high heat with controlled water pressure to create steam that helps loosen dirt, debris, and other contaminants in your carpet or upholstery fibers. In commercial settings, we can also use VLM (very low moisture) cleaning that uses less water to allow the carpets to get just as clean but dry faster to minimize disruptions to the workflow.
- Extraction: Steam cleaning also involves extraction via suction power that comes from professional-grade truck-mounted systems that allow us to extract dirt, loosened debris, and water to leave your carpets clean and fresh. The water extraction also helps your carpets dry faster.
- A chemical-free alternative: Unlike carpet shampooing or other carpet cleaning methods, steam cleaning does not involve the use of chemical cleaners or shampoos. That means you don’t have to worry about any residues or leftover scents from the cleaning process because it only involves the use of steam and extraction.
