You might wonder what’s really going on when a professional carpet cleaner shows up with those noisy, steaming devices and mentions “steam cleaning.” Though many Northern Beaches and North Shore residents the outcomes seem almost magical, they are based on hard research. Read this!
More than just generating clouds of hot air, steam cleaning—also known as hot water extraction—is It starts with a careful vacuuming to clear surface trash from daily life—pet hair, crumbs, beach sand, and general filth. Ignoring this first cleaning will make soaking the carpet useless as it is the deep filth that has to be addressed.
Simple but effective science underlies steam cleaning. To guard your carpet while yet being hot enough to operate properly, the water is heated to 90°C—well below boiling. This hot water, combined with a cleaning solution, is forced further into the carpet fibers under great pressure. Targeting what lies under the surface, this stage is essential for eliminating dust mites, bacteria, old stains, and oily residues a typical vacuum cannot reach.
The next stage is magic. Along with the hot water, the steam cleaning machine fast sucks up all the dirt, allergies, and filth it has loosened. That yields A carpet with deep down, throughout the fibers is not only clean on the surface. This method effectively eliminates the dust, sand, allergens brought in by your busy Northern Beaches way of life as well as the contaminants from coastal winds.
Why does steam cleaning turn out so nicely? It is the mix of cleaning chemicals with heat. While reducing the surface tension of the carpet fibers, the high temperatures assist to break down difficult, greasy, or sticky places. Strong suction eliminates chemical residue and the heat destroys dust mites and bacteria as well. Usually drying in a few hours, most carpets leave them cleaner, safer, and dryer far faster than with conventional soaking techniques.
Anyone living in the Northern Beaches or North Shore coping with sand, sea spray, erratic weather, and the typical bustle of family life will find steam carpet cleaning the go-to fix. You may appreciate new, fluffy carpets without a science degree only knowing a little knowledge of physics and chemistry.
