The hot water extraction method or steam cleaning, as it is more popularly called, is among the most effective methods of carpet cleaning used today. This method does an excellent job in extracting soil, dust mites, pollutants and contaminants from deep in the carpet or rug pile and from the fabric of upholstered furniture.

Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) uses a combination of water pressure for agitation, hot water to increase reaction time, and cleaning agents to break down and emulsify soil. It also includes vacuum extraction to remove soil and cleaning agents once the carpet has been cleaned.

Coastal Cleaners Carpet Technicians will first pre-treat any heavily soiled areas and note any spots or stained areas. If required special products will be used to assist in safe removal of spots or spills.

Our hot water extraction (steam cleaning) equipment uses only fresh, clean water heated to and maintained at 200 Fahrenheit/93 degrees Celsius. Cleaning and rinse agents used are non-toxic, non-allergenic and environmentally friendly. Most of the solutions we use are Green Seal Certified and/or plant-based natural products. If restoration is needed due to extreme soiling, an industrial grade product may be required. You will be notified in these cases.

Carpet cleaning may not be rocket science, but it does involve a lot of chemistry! The effectiveness of cleaning depends a great deal on the effectiveness of the chemicals used along with the right temperature water. Some discount firms use an inexpensive “one type fits all” general purpose cleaner. At Coastal Cleaners, we tailor our products to the type of fibres, the degree of soiling and the types of contaminants to ensure you are getting the safest, cleanest results possible.
