The Best Way to Clean Carpet

The best way to clean carpet is with hot-water extraction (it steams a lot).   A good truck-mount hot-water extraction unit forces hot water into carpet under high pressure, and then sucks it (and the dirt) out thoroughly. This method has the following advantages:

The high heat used kills a lot of bacteria, fungus, mold, and dust mites, making it the healthiest way to clean carpet.

It doesn’t leave residue (if done correctly). Detergent residue can attract dirt, which can damage carpet.

High pressure cleans carpet more deeply.

A strong vacuum also cleans carpet more deeply.

Heat helps! Above 118 degrees Fahrenheit, every 18 degree rise changes chemical reactivity by 100%. Hot water extraction cleaning is done at 150 to 200 degrees. Too technical?  Bottom line; It is just the best way  to clean carpet. Next we’ll discuss how to maintain and keep your carpets clean.
