Steam Vacuum
Many consumers use a steam vacuum when attempting to get
out a stain from a carpet. A steam vacuum heats tap water. It combines
the hot tap water with a cleaning solution.
The hot tap water and cleaning solution can be more effective for getting
out stains than soap and a sponge. Many stores will rent a consumer
a steam vacuum. It is also becoming more common to purchase a steam
vacuum.
Commercial rug cleaning experts suggest that using a steam vacuum is
not the best solution for getting out deep stains. They suggest that
the cleaning solution leaves behind a residue which can attract more
dirt. Still, because rug cleaning services are expensive many consumers
opt for renting or buying a steam vacuum.
