Steam Cleaning Kills Germs & So Much More

When we say that carpet cleaning kills germs, we mean specifically that steam cleaning kills germs. Some carpet cleaning methods will not kill germs, due to the process used. Steam cleaning differs by virtue of the extreme temperatures of the water used. When steam cleaning your carpet, the hot water will penetrate the carpet fibers and force the dirt, bacteria, and germs to the surface. During the extraction of the hot water, this unwanted debris will be pulled up and eradicated from your carpet. The hot water used in the process is at such high temperatures that many pathogens and germs will be killed. This can be especially effective for rooms you know are prone to hosting a bountiful amount of germs, such as nurseries, children’s bedrooms, and pet areas.

Beyond Just Germs

While the death of hosts of germs is something to celebrate, steam cleaning will rid your carpet of more than just these unsavory guests. Steam cleaning can also abolish a multitude of other objectionable substances, such as the following:

• • Dust Mites: You might never lay eyes on these tiny pests, but odds are good they reside in your home. Dust mites are more than a nuisance, they leave behind waste matter which can trigger allergic reactions and asthma. Steam cleaning will send these pests packing as well as ridding your home of the waste they left behind.
