Indoor air experts say. “Once carpet looks dirty, it is really filthy. Filthy carpet can be a health risk, especially since most people spend 90% of their time indoors.

Most major carpet manufacturers recommend steam cleaning. The proper term is hot water extraction. Be careful, though. Steam cleaning got its bad reputation because poorly trained carpet cleaners using inferior, portable equipment often left the carpet too wet, taking days to dry! This should not be the case. Properly trained, IICRC certified technicians with truck-mounted equipment should get the best results.
