What are the utilities and benefits of Steam (Hot Water) Extractors?
Cleaning soiled carpet fibers can be a real challenge since regular vacuuming does not remove particles which adhere to the fibers. The traditional way of cleaning the carpet fibers is the carpet shampooer which creates a foam that is worked into the carpet to clean it. While this method is still being used, the industry has been promoting the “steam” (hot water) extractors to a greater extent. There are also a few companies which sell or rent scrubbing machines which work a moist compound into the carpets to clean them. Hot water extractors work best when used to periodically clean carpets which are lightly soiled. Performance on a heavily soiled or stained carpet can be disappointing at best. For more heavy duty cleaning needs, look to the professional carpet cleaning services in your area. Their heavy duty commercial equipment is much more powerful and able to produce more satisfactory results.
