without comments

Steam Cleaning has become the most popular type of carpet cleaning. It is also known as Hot Water Extraction or HWE.

The most common method of HWE (hot water extraction) is to prespray the carpet with a cleaning solution then agitate the solution into the carpet. And then rinse the dirt and chemicals from the carpet with hot water. This is where the term Steam Cleaning comes in. The hotter the water the easier it can be to get some stains to come out.

There are other factors that come into play with how clean you are able to get the carpet.

The quality and quantity of the Cleaning Chemical.
How well the chemical has been agitated into the dirty carpet.
How long the chemical has been allowed to dwell on the dirty carpet.
The amount of water used to rinse the carpet.
The percentage of water left in the carpet.
The temperature of the water used to rinse the carpet.

If the carpet is not very dirty often the agitation step is skipped. The cleaning solution is often allowed to dwell (5 to 20 minutes) on the carpet. Then the carpet is rinsed with water or with a water and a neutralizing chemical. Carpet Pre spray is usually done with a powerful cleaner. It is mixed into a sprayer and then sprayed lightly in the cleaner areas and heavier on traffic lanes and dirty areas of the carpet.
