According one of the largest carpet manufactures in the nation Shaw Industries, Hot Water Extraction also known as “Steam Cleaning” is the recommended method to clean your carpets. Here at Blue Earth Carpet Cleaning we have over 40 years of combined professional experience in this method of carpet cleaning and restoration. Oh yeah and we GET RESULTS!

Shaws choice: Hot water extraction

Research indicates that the hot water extraction system provides the best capability for cleaning. This system is commonly referred to as “steam cleaning,” although no steam is actually generated. The process consists of applying a cleaning agent into the carpet pile and using water in the extractor to recover the used solution and soil.  This can be done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and wand brought inside or by a portable system brought into the home.

Shaw warranties require that the homeowner be able to show proof of periodic cleaning by hot water extraction (commonly called “steam” cleaning) by a professional cleaning service or do-it-yourself system, using equipment that is certified under the Carpet and Rug Institutes Seal of Approval program.

Get on a cleaning schedule

If carpet is cleaned before it becomes too unsightly, the cleaning chore will be easier and more successful. Carpet in a typical household should be cleaned every 12 to 18 months, depending on the number of residents and amount of activity.

Choosing the proper cleaning system is important. Some systems may leave residues which accelerate re-soiling and defeats the whole purpose of cleaning. We use low residue cleaning agents, (by the way, there is no such thing as “No Res-idue”) and quick dry the carpet fibers using professional air movers to prevent residue rapid re-soiling.

 Our state of the art direct drive CDS Hydromaster unit is a dedicated carpet cleaning machine that runs off the engine of our van. This means more power to vacuum and recover the dirt and moisture in your carpets. Aka, deep clean your carpets not just surface clean. It also means instant hot water to increase the effectiveness of the chemistry required to remove and improve the most difficult stains.

    What are the advantages of having your carpets cleaned professionally? Carpet  is one of your largest single investments in materials in your home and if not maintained is very expensive to replace. So literally regularly cleaning them adds value to your home much in the same way that changing your cars oil regularly add value to your car.
