What does steam cleaning do to the fabric?
When it comes to cleaning fabric, steam cleaning is a deep cleaning process that helps to dislove dirt and grime that has ground into the fibers. In order to remove the dirt, the steam cleaner uses a mixture of hot water and some type of cleaning agent. The mixture is routed through high-pressure jets that allow the steamy water to permeate the fibers of the carpeting and loosen the grime. As the detergent dislodges the dirt, the cleaner uses a strong vacuum to retrieve the now dirty water and excess detergent. The end result is a fabric that is clean and will dry within hours in most climates.
