Steam Carpet Cleaning, also referred to as hot water extraction, is a method that thoroughly cleans carpets. Our process involves several steps:
Preparation: Our team inspects the carpet to identify any stains, high-traffic areas, and specific cleaning needs.
Vacuuming: Before steam cleaning, the carpet is thoroughly vacuumed to remove loose dirt, debris, and dust.
Pre-treatment: Stains and spots are treated with specialized cleaning solutions to break down and loosen the dirt.
Steam cleaning: A cleaning detergent mixed with hot water is sprayed onto the carpet fibres. The combination of hot water and the cleaning agent dissolves and lifts the dirt and stains from the carpet.
Agitation: A carpet cleaning machine with brushes or rotating pads may be used to agitate the cleaning solution into the carpet fibres, further loosening the dirt.
Extraction: The machine then extracts the water, dirt, and cleaning solution from the carpet using a powerful vacuum, leaving the carpet damp but not soaked.
Drying: Proper ventilation and air circulation are needed to help the carpet dry completely. Drying times vary based on factors like carpet thickness, humidity, and air circulation.
