What Are the Benefits of Hot Water Extraction?

Hot water extraction has many benefits in both commercial and residential settings. While regular vacuuming does a great job of getting most of the dust and allergens, it always leaves something behind – even if you can’t see it with the naked eye. This is where hot water extraction carpet cleaning really shines.

How Does Hot Water Extraction (or Steam Cleaning) Work?

Once a rinse agent has been applied and the carpet has been prepped for the cleaning machine, a hot water cleaner is brought in. The water is heated in the machine and then sprayed through jets into the carpet. As the water is applied, it is sucked up by another part of the cleaner as its applied. In this way, it’s kind of like a washing machine’s rinse cycle. Then, the carpet is rinsed in much the same way with the same machine to remove any remaining dirt or cleaning detergents.
