When the time comes to select a professional carpet cleaner, you will likely want to know more about the cleaning methods they use, including the safety, effectiveness and environmental impact of each. A quick search of the Internet will probably yield a multitude of local carpet cleaners, each offering their own spin on one of three basic carpet cleaning methods – shampooing, “dry cleaning” (using a dry cleaning solution or powder), and hot water extraction also known as steam cleaning.

Of these methods, steam cleaning is the most popular. But what is it? And why is it the right choice?
Sometimes incorrectly referred to as “steam cleaning” (no steam is actually used), involves the use of a stream of highly heated water to force dirt and soil out of the carpet while a vacuum whisks it away. First, excess soil is removed with a dry vacuum. Next, a pressurized, heated, water-based cleaning solution is injected into the carpet. As the injected solution pushes dirt to the surface of the carpet, it is removed by a wet vacuum.

So is hot water extraction the best choice for your carpet? Here’s what you need to know about this popular carpet cleaning method.

Most major carpet manufacturers recommend it as the most effective way to clean their carpets. And for some types of carpet, hot water extraction is the only safe method. Unless you’re sure that your carpet will not be damaged by alternate methods, opt for hot water extraction – better safe than sorry!

Hot water extraction offers a much deeper clean than its alternatives, namely shampooing and dry cleaning, which only provide a surface clean. Hot water extraction is also much more effective at removing stains and odors than surface cleaners.

Other carpet cleaning methods-those that involve the use of shampoo, a dry cleaning solution or powder-can leave behind large amounts of residue. When performed properly, hot water extraction leaves your carpets virtually residue-free.

When performed using natural, non-toxic cleaning solutions, hot water extraction can be an eco-friendly approach to carpet cleaning. Many alternative cleaning methods rely on harsh chemicals that can pose health risks for people and pets. Thanks to the power of highly-heated water, gentler solutions are sufficient to produce a satisfactory result.

When selecting a carpet cleaner in Roseville CA that uses the hot water extraction method, be sure that the company provides thorough training and that your technician is experienced. Although hot water extraction is extremely effective, it is a more difficult technique to learn than some of the alternatives, and overwetting can occur if your technician has not been properly trained. Poke around carpet cleaners’ web sites – if their technician training requirements are not mentioned, be sure to ask about them before booking your appointment.
