Is the Water Fresh or Reused in Truck Mount Steam Cleaning?

A common question we encounter is whether the water used in truck mount steam cleaning is fresh or reused. After putting it to the test, we can confirm that the water is always fresh. 

The system draws clean water from a separate tank, ensuring that no contaminated or reused water ever touches your precious carpets. It's one of the reasons why truck mount carpet cleaning equipment is top of the line.

What Is Truck Mount Steam Cleaning?

Truck mount steam cleaning is a powerful and efficient method of cleaning carpets and upholstery. It involves a truck-mounted system that heats water to a high temperature, creating steam that penetrates deep into the fibers.

After conducting experiments with it, we've found that this method not only removes stubborn stains but also kills bacteria and allergens. It's a favorite among professionals and homeowners alike.

How Does Truck Mount Steam Cleaning Work?

The process of truck mount steam cleaning is a marvel of modern cleaning technology. Here's a detailed look at how it works:

  1. Pre-Treatment: The process begins with pre-treating the carpet with a specialized cleaning solution, like a carpet prespray. This solution is carefully selected based on the carpet's fabric and the type of stains present. It helps in breaking down the dirt particles, making them easier to remove.
  2. Heating the Water: Next, the truck-mounted system heats the water to a specific temperature, turning it into steam. This is a critical step, as the temperature must be just right to ensure effective cleaning without damaging the carpet fibers.
  3. Steam Injection: After trying out this product, we've seen how the steam is then injected into the carpet at high pressure. This high-pressure steam penetrates deep into the fibers, loosening dirt, grime, and even the most stubborn stains. The pressure can be adjusted based on the carpet's condition and the level of cleaning required.
  4. Agitation: In some cases, a counter rotating brush or other mechanical agitators may be used to further work the steam and cleaning solution into the carpet. This helps in dislodging trapped dirt and ensures a more thorough cleaning.
  5. Extraction: A powerful vacuum extracts the dirty water, leaving the carpet fresh and clean. This extraction is done simultaneously with the steam injection, ensuring that no excess moisture is left behind. It's a vital step that prevents potential issues like mold growth or unpleasant odors.
  6. Drying: The carpet is then left to dry, either naturally or with the help of air movers. Proper drying is essential to prevent any residual moisture that could lead to mold or mildew.
  7. Final Inspection: Finally, a thorough inspection is conducted to ensure that the cleaning meets the desired standards. Any necessary touch-ups are performed at this stage.
  8. Optional Protection: Some clients opt for a carpet cleaning chemical, like a protective treatment to be applied after cleaning. This helps in repelling future stains and prolonging the life of the carpet.
