Function: The hot water extraction method (steam cleaning method) injects 240-degree water into the carpet through spray jets. The water is immediately recovered through a vacuum orifice as It's applied. The effect of this process can be compared to the rinse cycle of your washing machine. To facilitate cleaning, a strong detergent pre-spray is applied to the carpet prior to cleaning, and some level of agitation to the carpet is normally applied. Then the carpet is rinsed using the hot water extraction method.

Benefits: Hot water extraction is simply the best way to rinse a carpet of its contaminants. Since the hot water extraction method can employ countless gallons of water during the cleaning process it is possible to flush a large quantity of soil from the carpet during cleaning. For this reason, it is recommended to supplement encapsulation cleaning with periodic hot water extraction cleaning. It is commonly seen that the need for hot water extraction cleaning can be greatly reduced when a good program of encapsulation cleaning is being performed.

Commercial Setting: Hot water extraction has the greatest potential to flush contaminants from the carpet in a single cleaning as mentioned above. It is recommended that periodic HWE cleanings are included at intervals as a supplement to encapsulation cleaning. Special care is given to thoroughly rinse pre-treatment conditioning agents from the carpet so that re-soiling can be minimized.Function: The hot water extraction method (steam cleaning method) injects 240-degree water into the carpet through spray jets.
