How Do Professionals Steam Clean A Carpet And How Can You Help?

Steam cleaning is one of the easiest ways to keep your carpet looking good and smelling fresh for a long time. While regular vacuuming removes dust at a surface level, steam cleaning pulls out the grime, stains and allergens stuck deep down in the fibres and underlay, giving you a carpet that looks brand new.

A professional carpet steam cleaner carries essential equipment and detergents to deliver the highest standard of steam cleaning. However, your contribution can make a huge difference to results.

While your carpet steam cleaner is on his way, follow these steps to prepare your carpet for an effective steam cleaning.

Clear up the floor space

Move the furniture and cupboards out of the room to bare the carpet for steam cleaning. The reason being it's difficult to clean the carpet underneath the bed and sofa. If your furniture is too heavy to move or there's no enough space in the other room, move everything to either half of the room to make the other half available to clean.

A little dusting might help

If the carpet steam cleaner is yet to arrive at your doorstep, use this time to dust the fan, ceiling, corners and baseboards. All of the dust will fall on the carpet, but who cares? Your carpet steam cleaner will clean it anyway.

Now professional carpet cleaning kicks in

Your carpet will be vacuumed to remove loose dirt and debris from the surface. In the next step, all the stains will be removed using a specialised carpet stain remover. Now your carpet is ready for steam cleaning. The deep-seated grime and allergens will be eliminated by injecting a powerful jet of steam into the fibres. The result will be immaculate carpets that feel nice and fresh for a long time.
