Hot Water Extraction (HWE) aka Steam Cleaning
Carpet Manufacturers Highest Recommended Cleaning Method

Major Carpet Manufactures recommend Steam Cleaning as the best way to maintain their products & warranties.

This is Classic Carpet Cares Primary Method of Carpet Upholstery & Tile Cleaning.  Although we use most methods when their benefits make sense for your needs, Steam Cleaning is usually the most thorough and best cleaning method for 95% of our clients... especially Residential Clients.

Standard Steam Cleaning involves the use of a Manual Scrub Wand to pressure wash the fabric of your carpets with hot water while scrubbing and rinsing away an appropriate chemical pretreatment. The Extractor then vacuums away the soils that were in your carpets along with the excess chemical and water from the process.

Pros

• The Deepest most Thorough Clean
• Restoration Ability
• Water Pressure loosens deposits
  
• up to 230 degree heat
• Rinse Solution Injected into Fabric
• High Powered Vacuum Reduces Dry Times
• Physically removes unwanted deposits from home

Cons

• Carpets may be wet 2-8 hours depending upon soiling conditions (Classic usually has them dry in 2-4)
• Not usually cost effective as a monthly service (except for restaurants where it may be required)
  

You would not throw detergent on your clothes, rub it in and call it clean... Would you?
Steam Carpet Cleaning uses hot water with detergent, agitates and rinses your carpets kind of like your Laundry Machine does for your clothes.
