Question: Is there more than one way to clean a carpet?

Answer: There are different methods that professional carpet cleaners use to clean carpeting in homes or businesses. Recent surveys however, indicate that over 90% of professional carpet cleaners choose hot water extraction "steam" cleaning as the priimary method of cleaning. When they themselves test the effectiveness of shampooing, chemical dry cleaning, dry power, dry foam, bonnet cleaning, and hot water extraction cleaning, the choice for maximum cleaning, appearance, and soil and pollutant removal is hot water extraction "steam" cleaning.

Question: Can some carpet cleaning methods actually hurt my carpets?

Answer: The cleaning technician doing the work is always the key to safe effective cleaning of carpets. Dry powder cleaning methods can use harsh chemical solvents mixed with groundn-up corn cob that can build-up in your carpet causing excessive wear. Carbonated Chemical Dry Cleaning (Spin-Bonnet) uses an abrasive spinning pad which when misused, can cause your carpets to untwist and pull apart at the seams. There is no physical vacuum extraction, so much of the chemical can be left in your carpeting.

Question: Does the Steam Way® use excessive amounts of chemical to clean my carpet?

Answer: The Steam Way® method depends primarily on natural hot water and vacuum extraction to clean the carpet. This eliminates the need for massive amounts of chemicals, solvents, and carponation used in some other methods. The Steam Way® method leaves the least amount of chemical and soil residues so there is no threat of premature wear, airborne contamination, or rapid re-soiling.

Question: Will my carpets stay cleaner longer after its cleaned?

Answer: Unlike some other cleaning methods which can actually leave behind soil attracting residues, the Steam Way® method of cleaning carpets will make your carpets look, smell, and feel better longer than factory-fresh carpets. Steam Way's method of cleaning will actually extend the life of your carpet and contribute to a cleaner and healthier indoor environment for your family.

Question: Are there any other things I should consider?

Answer: All major carpet fiber producers recommend periodic professional hot water extract cleaning for the appearance, longevity and peak performance of your carpet. Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer (makers of Philadelphia®, Shawmark®, E & B®, and Cabin Craft® carpeting) recommends using hot water extraction for the cleaning of the carpets they manufacture. They also recognize Steam Way® trained companies by name. Many health and indoor air environmental authorities recommend periodic professional hot water extraction cleaning for its positive contributions to a healthier environment. During the cleaning process, we ask for their safety that you keep all children and pets away from our cleaning equipment as well as the cleaning area. It is a good idea to keep children and pets off of freshly cleaned carpets for 6 to 12 hours.
