Is “Steam Cleaning” (Hot Water Extraction) detrimental to the life of my carpet?
No. Tests indicate steam cleaning does not affect the integrity of carpet, and is the number-one recommended cleaning method of major carpet manufactures. In fact, “Stainmaster” (the stain protection found in most carpet) warranties require hot water extraction (steam cleaning) least every 18-24 months, and Shaw Corp., the world’s leading carpet manufacturer recommends “steam cleaning” every 6 to 12 months.
