Why is a truck-mounted steam cleaning better than a rental or home-unit?
Personal extractors are excellent for maintenance and emergency spot removal. However, none of them can replace the deep cleaning of a truck mounted steam cleaning system. A truck mounted system has much more water pressure and vacuum power to provide a deeper cleaning. Plus, the water temperature is much hotter. Water needs to be 210 degrees at point of contact to kill bacteria. Also, the truck-mounted cleaning system flushes out the cleaning solutions and doesn’t leave residue. There are also other reasons to choose professional cleaning: 1. If your carpet is under 5-10 years old, you should check your warranty to see how often truck-mounted steam cleaning is required to keep your warranty valid. 2. Over-wetting and/or improper use of cleaning solutions can delaminate your carpet backing and cause seam damage. This is super easy to happen with discount store home units. 3. Cleaning carpet is VERY labor intensive and takes extended amount of time and energy with such small machines. I
