Everyone gets it done once in awhile, there are dozens of companies to choose from, and they all advertise professional "carpet cleaning London". But what is carpet steam cleaning? What does it do that my hoover doesn’t. Sure it leaves the carpets very clean and costs me more than just doing myself but is there some magic involved? The vomit stains that disappeared after having carpet steam cleaning following my last raging house party say "YES" and so do I. So here, after considerable research, are a few facts behind the Science of Steam Cleaning.
As with most things we don’t understand, steam carpet cleaning is not magic, its science. It works on the principles of high heat and even higher pressure. Did you ever wonder why the machine is so big? That’s because it has its own water-heating and steam generation system all packed inside. Water is heated to just below boiling point, steam is generated and compressed, then shot into your carpet and sucked back out faster than you can imagine removing all the nasty stains, vomit-related and otherwise.
Way back when, professional cleaners used to use a special carpet shampoo that would be applied and left to do its magic (the shampoo steam carpet cleaning method really was magic). The problem was that this treatment used so much excess water that your carpets would be left soggy and soaking wet for hours, days, even weeks after the cleaning was finished and the magical carpet man departed from your home. Why you ask? Because the steam cleaning technology that professional companies use now was only recently developed, and is considerably more pricey than the old shampoo and elbow grease way of doing things.
New machines inject steam and high-concentrate cleaning solution into the carpet at high pressure. The difference is that these machines extract about 95 percent of the solution, and the excess moisture, on contact. This leads to carpets that, like with older steam carpet cleaning methods, are visibly a lot cleaner than you could get them with a hoover. Unlike older steam cleaning methods, you are not left with a sitting room that resembles a cross between a Swedish sauna and a Russian bog. Instead, your carpets should be traffic-ready minutes after the cleaning has finished, and dry to the touch within hours. All because of a little more steam and a lot more pressure. So there you have it: for quality carpet cleaning London has lots of options and no more illusions of magic, just the Science of Steam Carpet Cleaning!
