Commonly known as steam carpet cleaning, hot water extraction uses high pressured hot water to agitate the carpet fibre and dissolve dirt in it. The hot water and pressure both work to dissolve thick dirt, mud, dust, and other debris from carpeting, allowing it to be extracted easily by a powerful vacuum.
Hot water extraction cleaning typically involves application of cleaning agent on soiled surface, agitation of carpet with brush and followed by rinsing. After the cleaning agent settles in the carpet for a short duration, the carpet will be washed by a specialized carpet cleaning equipment to rinse the cleaning agent thoroughly and finally left to dry naturally.
Carpet shampooing uses specialty detergents applied with lots of water. Rotating brushes scrub the shampoo into the carpeting and help loosen dirt and debris. Clean water is used to extract the shampoo, until the carpets are clean and free of residues.
