Low moisture carpet cleaning is a type of method for deep-cleaning carpets that uses significantly less water than traditional steam methods. The amount and strength of the cleaner used are also typically lower compared to other types, meaning it takes considerably less time to dry after treatment. This technique can be beneficial because it reduces disruption in homes or businesses where business may have otherwise been stopped altogether due to wet floors.
Steam cleaning uses hot water extraction, which utilizes more powerful tools and supplies than other methods of carpet cleaning. Hot water is injected into the carpets at a very high pressure to extract dirt, bacteria, allergens and various contaminants from deep within the fibers. It also deodorizes by removing mold spores and lingering odors often left behind in traditional carpet cleanings.
