Carpet Steam Cleaning Tips
When steam cleaning your carpet there are several factors you should consider:
- Use the right pre-stain treatment for deep soil / food stains – apply to areas 15 minutes before running a steam cleaner over them
- The temp of the water-solution in the steam cleaner. If you aren’t using a professional model then you are probably dependent on the tap water temperature – the hotter the better. If you have a model that super heats the water to 250 degrees – great, otherwise try and get the water as hot as you can via tap water (130 degrees)
- Don’t use too much carpet steam cleaning detergent – always mix water with detergent using the recommended ratio – extra detergent = bad results – not better results.
- Don’t constantly go over the same area over and over with the steam cleaner. This will over saturate the area and flood the carpet padding. If you must make several passes wait until it dries then go over it again.
