Removing Odors with Carpet Steam Cleaners


Carpet steam cleaners are not your conventional steam cleaners. These machines allow the operator to use the added advantage of hot water to eliminate tough, stubborn stains on carpets. Unlike normal steam cleaners, which use vapor steam at temperatures up to 330°F and incapable of cleaning entire carpeted areas, these machines generate hot water up to 210°F to clean full carpets.

How They Work

Carpet steam cleaner machines use water or a cleaning solution and heat the mixture to a maximum temperature of 210°F. This mixture is then injected onto the carpet surface. Ideally, the surface has been pre-treated with a cleaning solution before hot water is applied.

After injecting water into the carpet, a special wand attached to the machine is used to agitate the carpet surface. This brings dirt residues to the surface, where the machine then extracts them.

How They Remove Odor

Since carpet steam cleaners provide a higher temperature output than ordinary non-heated carpet cleaners, they clean far more efficiently. These machines are equipped with a heating element and can consistently deliver heat to the carpet surface. The heat is effective in removing substances that cause foul odors from the carpet surfaces.

Ordinary, non-heated carpet cleaners can use hot water if the user heats the water before placing it into the machine. However, the output temperature of the water cools with use, decreasing the machine’s cleaning capability. This is not a problem with carpet steam cleaners, and these machines are therefore more effective for removing odor-causing substances.
