US Steam Seahawk Steam Vacuum Boiler Vol: .8 L Power: 1000 - 1800 watts Vapamore MR-50 Steam Vacuum Cleaners Steam Cleans & Vacuums Steam Cleaners for Carpets This is a tricky subject and often people buy steam cleaners for cleaning carpets and are disappointed.

So far there is only one steam vacuum combination unit by Reliable that we think is up to the task, and even with that machine it takes time. Bathtub Faucet With Hand Shower Deck MountedHowever, let us explain.Spice Colored Shower Curtains Let’s compare traditional hot water extraction machines to vapor steam cleaners. Laptop Lcd Screen Water Damage RepairThe "steam cleaners", you may be familiar with or seen used by a rug cleaning service are all based on water extraction. The ones that are truck mounted can cost up to $30,000! Home based systems are only a few hundred dollars and their performance is more often than not congruent with their price. Low price equals low performance. The extraction units that are truck mounted can indeed do a good job on cleaning large areas of carpet although you still have the chemical residue problem.

These hot water extraction units do not use steam, they pump large amounts of water through jets accompanied by chemical containing cleaning fluids onto your carpet. These machines agitate with some brushing action and then "extract" most of the water and chemicals out of your carpet. The disadvantages of lower end water extraction systems, and indeed some of the more expensive ones, is that the soap and chemical residue is both harmful to the carpet and your health. Really damp carpet is a breeding ground for mold and dust mites. However, extraction units have been traditionally, the most efficient way to clean a large area of dirty carpeting. Results produced by lower end steam cleaners or cheap services are often indifferent, producing streaking and a great deal of dirt left behind which has only been redistributed, instead of cleaned. This is why your carpet seems to get dirty again so quickly. In comparison, our testing of vapor steam cleaners on carpets has seemed to be rather a laborious process but it provides some advantages.

In using a vapor steam cleaner to CLEAN your heavily soiled carpet (as opposed to killing dust mites in your carpets for which it is superbly well qualified), you should first vacuum up all loose dirt. You then should pre-treat the area, by spraying on some natural ecologically friendly surfactant. Vapor steam cleaning alone will often not take out all the stains. Then use a good quality vapor steam cleaner over the carpeted area and gently rub with the toweling applicator to absorb dirt. The last part of the process is to vacuum over the carpeted area, which will now have the carpet fibers opened up by the heat and more accessible for vacuuming. You should leave it to dry for a few minutes (15 to 20) before using a hepa vacuum cleaner to collect dead dust mites and extra loosened dirt. If you use your vacuum cleaner while the carpet is still damp, you will rust it out - JUST DON'T DO THIS. This method while tedious will give you the best results. You will probably end up only cleaning small areas of carpet at a time with this method.

If you have an excessive amount of over-soiled carpet, you may need to use a professional service first then upkeep it with a high end vapor steam cleaner. However, more recently, we have found that Reliable has actually has produced a really good combination steam cleaner and vacuum. Granted you would buy a regular vacuum for normal vacuuming tasks since a vacuum cleaner would be lighter and more effective. However if you want to the cleaning power and sanitization of steam cleaning and the convenience instant post vacuuming, the Reliable TANDEM EV1 combination unit is a wonderful breakthrough product for carpet cleaning. Learn more about Steam VacuumsThe theory in the shampoo method is to generate a lot of foam in the carpet, allow this foam to dry, have the resulting residue attract the soil and vacuum up the residue and soil the next day. Carpet shampoo products must have the following characteristics which Therefore, a carpet shampoo must contain a very foamy chemical.

common ingredient is sodium lauryl sulfate or one of its relatives. when you're taking a shower or bath, look at the ingredient statement on your hair shampoo bottle. It will say "Contains sodium lauryl sulfate" or some similar wording. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and its relatives exhibit a very high and very stable foam and are only fair detergents. is that they dry to a soft, sticky residue which will cause resoiling. Because of the resoiling problem, carpet shampoos will frequently also have an anti-resoiling additive such as a resin to reduce this resoiling Because shampoos are actually very poor detergents and basically simply bury the dirt, they frequently also contain high levels of optical brighteners which take invisible ultraviolet light and convert it to visible light, thus making the carpet appear cleaner and brighter than it really is,It will eventually give the carpet a yellow cast and the yellow cannot be removed.

Two primary types of machines are used for this process: The Cylindrical Foam Shampoo machine uses an air compressor to create dry foam before the foam is applied to the carpet and the carpet is then agitated with a revolving cylindrical brush which combs the foam throughThis method will leave dirt trapped in the carpet pile. must be thoroughly vacuumed before and after cleaning. The Rotary Shampoo method uses an ordinary rotary floor machine (the same kind used for stripping wax), sprays shampoo onto the carpet from a dispensing tank and a rotary brush whips the detergent to a foam. carpet mills and carpet fiber producers discourage the use of rotary brushes on carpet because of the potential damage that can occur. is common with this method which can cause jute straining, shrinkage Shampoo methods are inferior due to poor cleaning plus resoiling problems. The Rotary Shampoo method can damage the carpet, especially cut pile (which

is what most residential carpet is). This method is often called "dry cleaning" since virtually no water is In this method, dry absorbent compound (containing small amounts of water, detergent, and solvent,) is sprinkled over carpet or worked into the carpetThis purpose of this cleaner is to attract and absorbMechanical agitation from a brush works the cleaner through the These products usually contain an absorbent carrier, water, detergentThe theory is that the liquids dissolve the soil and this soil/detergent/solvent mixture is absorbed into the carrier and is thenThey are often used with a detergent prespray in heavily The absorbent cleaner most commonly is organic, but may also be polymers. The compound is supposed to absorb the dislodged soil and is then vacuumedCarpet must be thoroughly vacuumed before and after cleaning. Very thorough vacuuming should be used to ensure that most of the carrier comes out of the carpet. With the extremely fine powder types, indoor

air quality can be reduced. If a white powder starts appearing on shoes and cuffs of pants, too much was used and it was not thoroughly vacuumedA common problem is for this white powder to reappear after wet extraction cleaning. This cleaning method has the advantage of no drying time for interim maintenance, since little water is used. This makes it a common maintenance Host®, Capture®, Love My Carpet®, Arm and Hammer® and Carpet Fresh® would be included in this category.

Bonnet Shampooing is simply an adaptation of hard floor spray buffing This method for carpet maintenance consists of the use of a rotary or oscillating brush adapted with a stiff brush or drive block designed to drive wet, damp or dry pads. The carpet can be sprayed with the cleaning solution and/or the pads can be soaked in the cleaning solution and squeezed lightly before placing the pad under the driving brush.

The maintenance brochure published by the world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, suggests not using this method, especially on cut pile, due to pile distortion and fiber damage. This method has very limited capability for soil removal and leaves much of the detergent in the pile since it employs no real extraction. As a result, rapid re-soilingAnother disadvantage is that the spinning bonnet may distort the fibers of cut pile carpet, fuzzing the pile and leaving distinct swirl Sometimes, carbonated water is used to (in theory) give better soil suspension and bring down the pH. Companies using this method frequently use "scare" tactics to convince consumers that extraction cleaning or steam cleaning will destroy the carpet. Check with your carpet manufacturer because many leading carpet mills recommend against this method of cleaning. This method, the best way to clean carpet, is the cleaning method nearly all carpet manufacturers and carpet fiber producers recommend.

This is the only cleaning method classified as "deep cleaning". others are considered "light surface cleaning" or "interim cleaning" because they are incapable of removing soil deep in the pile. Also, all other methods leave large amounts of cleaning agent in the carpet after cleaning. The maintenance brochure published by the world's largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, recommends this method, because its own research indicates that it provides the best capability for cleaning carpet and rugs. This carpet cleaning method is frequently called steam cleaning due to the fine spray of water used to force dirt out of the carpet which is sucked up by the vacuum slot immediately in front of the spray. is real live steam used, however. This process consists of spraying a solution of water and detergent into the carpet pile and recovering the water and soil with a powerful vacuum into a holding tank. done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and

floor tool brought inside, or by a portable, system brought into the home From a health standpoint, the truck-mounted system is preferred because the dirty air and humidity are exhausted outside rather than recirculatedAdditionally, truck-mounted systems usually are more powerful than portable units and do a much better cleaning job and get the carpet dry more quickly. With some truck-mounted systems (called PTO's), the vehicle itself must run in neutral during the cleaning and in many others a separate engine (sometimes with a propane or oil-fired heater) is used to power the unit and heat the water. In both cases, the van MUST be parked well away from the house and positioned so that exhaust fumes do not enterElectric carpet cleaning machines, such as the Bane-Clene systems, do not have this problem. Depending upon the equipment, temperatures may range from cold tap water to boiling hot water and even super heated water over 200

Of course, with extremely high temperatures, there are dangers of scalding should a solution line break as well as the danger of damaging The choice of the the best carpet cleaning method is extremelySome systems leave residues which promote re-soiling and defeat the whole purpose of cleaning. Some methods actually damage the carpet fibers and shorten the life of the carpet. Check with the carpet manufacturer If carpet is cleaned before it becomes too unsightly, the cleaning chore will be easier and more successful. Allowing the carpet to become overly soiled may result in irreversible damage. It is a common myth that cleaning the carpet before it is absolutely necessary will cause it to get dirtyThis goes back to the days when the shampoo methods were the most Carpet in a typical household should be professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months depending upon the number of residents, amount and type of activity and whether the carpet is light or dark color.
