Steam cleaning carpet is becoming a leading option to the traditional shampoo method. Carpets contain loads of harmful pollutants and germs that need regular removal. While there are numerous techniques to utilize when removing dirt and allergens, they don't always leave the desired results. Employing hot water and steam for carpet cleaning can be beneficial for occupants as well as flooring's. Let’s find out the key reasons for why steam carpet cleaning is preferred more than the traditional cleaning methods.
More pollutants found indoors
The usual vacuuming and spot cleaning, a necessary step prolongs the life of the carpet. These methods can only remove debris at the surface. For carpets you need a deeper treatment that removes the dirt, pet hair, dust mites, and other debris that commonly work their way down further or are dug into the fibers themselves. While everyone tracks these unwanted germs indoors, kids and pets can greatly increase the volume of incoming pollutants. Over time dust and grime plies up on the carpet which is hard to loose. It is important to remove this build-up to preserve the flooring's appearance and protect the health of those within the space.
Shampoo treatments ideal for small stains
This process produces a massive volume of foam in order to break up the dirt and other unwanted particles that have become stuck to the fiber strands over time. This method is rather quick and can be successful on small stains. High dust areas are better attended with steam carpet cleaning.
Steam carpet cleaning more effective than shampoo cleaning
Steam cleaning carpet utilizes equipment that shoots hot water into the fibers to remove the debris build-up. This heated application reduces bacteria, germs, mites and other toxins present in the carpet. The excess water along with the dislodged dirt is eliminated utilizing the suction component of the equipment. The depth with which this method treats not only reduces harmful allergens, it greatly improves the overall appearance and lifespan of the carpeting as well. With steam cleaning, there is little chance of discoloration when hot water and steam are employed. This technique typically dries rather quickly, whereas the nature of some water-based shampoo necessitates longer drying time.
Steam cleaning uses fewer chemicals
A key benefit to steam cleaning carpet in comparison to other cleaning methods is the least use of chemicals during the process. In addition, there is less chance of harmful residues contaminating the indoor environment. The air can remain healthy and clean for those within the space
Steam carpet cleaning can be carried out by the home owner, a certified technician trained and experienced in such practices and with powerful professional equipment can produce better results.
