What is steam cleaning?
Have you ever heard the term "steam cleaning?" This term has been around for a long time, but really misleads customers. Professionals know this type of cleaning as hot water extraction. They inject hot steaming water into the carpet then extract it out. It's the most popular cleaning method and has been around since the 1960's. Operators will use a truck mounted extractor to product vacuum suction and high pressure hot water - at the operating end they'll use a stainless steel wand. It's a flat vacuum slot with several spray jets behind it. When you are pulling the wand toward yourself the spray jets are leading spraying down hot water solution immediately followed by the vacuum slot. There are several problems with this method - a few are: 1.) Testosterone laiden operator thinks he should have use the highest head and pressure available. This leaves him power washing your carpets with way to high of pressure AND using too high of heat. Excessive heat will strip your carpet of the stain resistant coating the factory put on it. Six months later you'll think you need to replace your carpet. The high pressure can damage the fibers of your carpet and force water down into your pad where it does come out for a week. Over wet carpets are a haven for mold&mildew.; 2.) Short cut operators like to use chemical injection systems. This means they run detergent through their wand, but don't rinse it out! A good operator should prespray your carpet then rinse with either hot water or an acidic rinse that helps remove the alkaline cleaner they sprayed in. Running the product through their wand is much like pulling your clothes out of the washer in the middle of the wash cycle. They have a soapy film on them that causes several problems. It can irritate your or your pets skin. It leaves a sticky residue on the carpet that attracts dirt. In a matter of weeks after the cleaning the carpet begins to look dull and gray. Homeowners are left confused and thinking maybe a new carpet or maybe hardwoods! 3.) Short cut operators can be lazy. The manual wand requires a lot of back breaking labor to scrub the carpet back and forth. The wand really only cleanings in one direction (pulling it toward you). So the operator really needs to cleaning from several directions to get an effective cleaning - laying the carpet fibers over in many directions, not just one. As you can imagine there are no lack of short cut operators (or their employees). These problems became so prevalent that many other "magic" methods came in into the market. Many methods that espouse to be "dry" came to be. Either dry foam (how do you make bubbles without moisture) to dry powders that would be sprinkled into the carpet, agitated in then left for the home owner to vacuum out. There became so much confusion that leading carpet manufacturers finally stepped up and declared that hot water extraction is the most effective cleaning method. Use any other method and you may void your warranty (because they don't work!) Where does this leave us? Two things you must have. An operator that cares about doing quality work. And superior technology to deliver on that promise. Carpet Rx uses Rotary Extraction. We use a rotary power wand that sprays hot water into your carpet. This round cleaning head has soft brushes, 3 spray jets followed immediately by 3 vacuum slots. As the cleaning head moves across your carpet the head is spinning at 200 rotations per minute delivering 600 cleaning passes from all different directions. It recovers water better than a regular wand and extracts dirt and stains much better. Carpet Rx uses quality environmentally friendly pre-spray and stain removers that are completely rinsed out by our rotary extractor. Call for a free estimate. Try Carpet Rx one time&you'll be convinced. ...read more
