METHOD USED

  The method our company uses is called "Hot Water Extraction" or "Steam Cleaning" and is the cleaning method nearly all carpet manufacturers and carpet fiber producers recommend.   The world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, recommends this method, because its own research indicates that it provides the best capability for cleaning.

   This is the only cleaning method classified as "deep cleaning". All the others are considered "light surface cleaning" because they are incapable of removing soil deep in the pile. Most importantly all other methods leave large amounts of cleaning agent in the carpet after cleaning.

   This method is frequently called "steam" cleaning due to the fine spray of water used to force dirt out of the carpet which is sucked up immediately by the vacuum slot  located in front of the spray. This process consists of spraying a solution of water and a rinsing agent into the carpet pile and recovering the water and soil with a powerful vacuum into a holding tank. This can be done from a truck-mounted unit located outside the home with only the hose and floor tool brought inside.

   From a health standpoint, the truck-mounted system is preferred because the dirty air and humidity are exhausted outside rather than recirculated around the house. Additionally, truck-mounted systems usually are more powerful than portable units and do a much better cleaning job and get the carpet dry more quickly.

   Depending upon the equipment, temperatures may range from cold tap water to boiling hot water and even super heated water over 200 degrees F. Our equipment produces 200 PLUS degree F steam due to the dual heat exchangers. This tempature guarantees the sanitation of your carpets thus removing viruses such as Flu, N1H1, common cold, and the list goes on.
