Carpet Cleaning - Hot Water Extraction

The hot water extraction method is all the rage when it comes to professional cleaning of carpets and upholstery. Industry experts and even fabric manufacturers agree that there is no better way to quickly and efficiently clean even the most troublesome areas. What makes this practice so sought-after, and how can you be sure your surfaces need it?

Why Hot Water Extraction Should Be Done By Professionals

With a little extra cash, you can buy your own hot water extraction machine. There's just one problem: it's never going to compare to anything that a professional would use, and you will more likely than not be wasting your money. There is no replacement for an industrial machine because of one simple factor that makes all the difference in the world: power.

Retail machines lack the juice to do the job, and that probably won't change for a while to come. To end any threat to the cleanliness of your fabrics, you'll need a machine powerful enough to count on it not leaving the tiniest trace of dirt or bacteria behind. This is also why retail or rental hot water extraction machines aren't all that effective at removing stains – they are unable to clean all the layers of the fabric.

You should always opt for using a professional carpet cleaner with a truck-mounted hot water extraction machine. Lone Star Carpet Care is available to answer any questions you have about our truck-mounted carpet cleaning equipment as well as questions about our process and the eco-friendly chemicals that we use to professionally clean your carpets, tile and grout and upholstery.

How Does Hot Water Extraction Work And Why Is It Best?

hot water extraction carpet cleaning san antonio
Hot water extraction seems simple, but it's incredibly effective for essentially all forms of carpet cleaning. Here's how a usual hot water cleaning process looks:

Our professionals first take note of the state of the carpet or upholstery and decide on the amount of power necessary for the job. They'll also determine which chemicals are safe to use on the fabric and which ones could threaten its integrity. The location of the carpet or upholstery is another concern, but we'll go into more detail about that later.

The next step is applying the right solution to the fabric and spreading it evenly across the surface. As is always the case, it's not just a matter of knowing the right chemical – you also need to know the exact amount. This is another reason why DIY hot water extraction is inadvisable.

What follows is blasting the carpet or upholstery with powerful bursts of hot water that serve a dual purpose. Initially, they will help the cleaning agent pass through every part of the fabric and ensure that it comes into contact with whatever might be causing a stain or bad odor, as well as any dirt that's invisible to us. Afterwards, the water will serve to help rinse the fabric efficiently, allowing it to 'expunge' both the cleaning agent and any dirt, grime, bacteria and similar unwanted additions.

Next up is extracting all of the moisture from the fabric, including any softened-up filth inside it. Power is once again the key here, as using a non-industrial vacuum couldn't guarantee results.

Lastly, our technicians will double or triple-check that no stains or smell remain, as well as making sure all of the water was successfully extracted. This step is important as incomplete vacuuming could leave grime and bacteria inside on top of leaving moisture itself, which would likely make way for mold. With us, however, this is merely a formality – our cleaners' expertise means the job is done right on the first try.

Truck-Mounted And Mobile Extraction Machines

When possible, we will prefer to use a truck-mounted water extraction machine. Thanks to the truck's engine, it has access to more power, translating to higher water temperature, more powerful water blasts, stronger vacuuming and a greater area covered with less effort involved. However, truck-mounted machines are static, and the tube can only extend so far. Sometimes, the structure of the building places the truck out of reach, and we might not be able to move the carpets or upholstery elsewhere for whatever reason. In these cases, we won't be able to utilize our preferred means of water extraction.

Don't worry, though – you'll find that the runner-up gets the job done just as well. Our mobile water extraction machines present a perfect balance between mobility and power, never sacrificing one for the other. It might take a bit longer to get the job done, but we'll be able to do our thing wherever it's necessary: top floors, basements, enclosed areas and so on. No matter the type of machine we end up using, the job isn't likely to last longer than a couple of hours. It will be well-worth the wait, as you'll know that your surfaces were cleaned using state-of-the-art equipment coupled with years of experience in the field.
