Key Benefits of Hot Water Extraction

• Limits Allergens: Everything from dust to dog dander can settle in your carpet and start to irritate your allergies, but hot water extraction gets rid of them.
• Kills Mold and Other Bacteria: Mold, bacteria, fungus, and dust mites can all live in your carpet, but hot water extraction kills them.
• Endorsed by the IICRC: The IICRC only certifies cleaning methods that live up to the highest standards, and hot water extraction makes the grade.
• Eco-Friendly: Unlike shampoo cleaning, hot water extraction uses nothing more than water and heat, making it a remarkably eco-friendly method.

A Superior Clean

If you’re not won over by the ability of hot water extraction to banish bacteria and eliminate allergens without introducing any hazardous chemicals, consider the fact that your carpets and rugs will also look better than ever.

Hot water extraction exposes carpet and rug fibers to exceedingly high temperatures, causing the physical bonds between dirt and carpet to loosen and dissolve. Any debris is removed completely, and you’ll be able to reach into those tricky cracks and crevices that often remain untouched by vacuum cleaners. Even hard-to-remove substances such as wax, chewing gum, and glue can be removed using hot water extraction—and the surfaces will dry far faster than they do with shampoo cleaning, since steam evaporates faster than water dries.
