A lot of our clients and prospective customers ask all the time, “what is the difference between hot water extraction and steam cleaning?” To some it may sound obvious so I will be getting slightly technical with my answer.

As far as usage, natural fibers are frequently cleaned using a hot water extraction method to prevent shrikage. Upholstery too is frequently cleaned using hot water extraction. When attempting to remove a stain, steam cleaning is also avoided because heat will set in a stain. Steam cleaning is great for synthetic carpet and is the prefer method of choice for most carpet cleaners. High heat greatly improves cleaning carpets.
