Steam cleaning, a process that has been in use for a number of years now, is an astoundingly effective method of cleaning carpets. When performed correctly, it removes even the deepest-seated allergens, surface oil, dust mites and dirt from a carpet, leaving it looking beautiful.

Steam cleaning involves heating water to an extremely high temperature, sometimes nearly to 200 degrees, making it extremely effective to eliminate dirt from average carpets. It does this because the extremely hot water neutralizes the adhesive bond which most grease and dust contain intrinsically. This adhesive bond is so strong, so powerfully are the dust particles attached to the fibres of the carpet, that even vacuum cleaners will fail to remove them. The only way to remove these stubborn dust particles is by dissolving the adhesive bond. Steam cleaning accomplishes this task, delivering steam at very high temperatures to the carpet, dissolving the bong, removing the dirt which is vacuumed immediately into the unit.

It is important for the dirt to be vacuumed immediately, otherwise, the adhesive will quickly form once more at the removal of the steam. In this way, steam cleaners perform admirably, getting in there and removing the dirt that has really settled in, cleaning off the grease, leaving your carpets looking fantastic.
