Steam Cleaning of Carpets
Research has shown that a large number of homes contain dust mite allergens which causes allergies and asthma. The only way to effectively alleviate the problem is to have your carpets professionally steam cleaned. As the word suggests steam is a wet, hot process, proven to be the most effective method to reduce the dust mite allergens in your home.
At Steam Cleaning Services we recommend the hot water extraction cleaning method. It's a successful method which we have applied for well over 30 years with proven results to thoroughly and completely clean your carpets. Our chemicals are safe, non-toxic and contain highly effective cleaning ingredients to alleviate the most stubborn stains and odours.
In order to prolong the lifespan of your carpet, regular professional cleaning is advised. Regular carpet care, carpet stain removal and treatment as well as cleaning heavy traffic areas regularly, will prevent you from replacing your carpets much sooner than necessary.
How does the hot water extraction method work?
This process removes the dirt and detergents leaving the carpet free of chemical residues and retaining its stain resistant properties. Would you wash and not rinse? Can you wash your washing without water? The Dry method is a maintenance method which is specifically suited to the overseas market and is sold as a maintenance program which is done in-between your steam cleaning intervals. The residue builds up because it is not being properly extracted and allows dust mite populations to breed. With the South African sun, the only way to properly prevent dust mite populations from settling in your carpet, upholstery and mattresses is by steam cleaning it using the hot water extraction method.
Over the last 30 + years, we have experimented with all the cleaning methods available and we no longer offer the Dry cleaning method to our clients as we found it to be ineffective.
Carpet Steam Cleaning is the process recommended by all carpet manufacturers and fibre producers.
Dry Carpet Cleaning
Even though your carpets may appear to be cleaner and brighter after it has just been dry cleaned, it actually isn't. Cleaning chemicals and deodorisers and optical brightners are applied to the carpet using a brush or rotating pad. While some of the dirt may be transmitted to the brush or rotating pad, the majority of the dirt has actually been rubbed right back into the carpet, spread around and disquised by the optical brightners and deodorizers. Chemical residues remain in the carpet and this is harmful to your carpets stain resistance. Stains will simply reappear.
