The popularity of home steam carpet cleaners is rising these days. The vacuum cleaner that you use for removing dirt from the carpets and rugs is capable of cleaning only the surface of carpets, but is not effective in extracting the dirt hidden deep within the fabric of the carpet. Home steam carpet cleaners efficiently ensure deep and thorough carpet cleaning. It first applies detergent solution on the carpet and generates a large amount of lather using its rotating brush. It then releases hot water to extract the dirt and rinse the carpet. The dirt extracted and the rinsed water is then drawn into a connected container.

How Do Carpet Cleaning Products Work? |
|
|
|
Detergents
Surfactant at work - arpet cleaning products work because they contain a combination of ingredients, each of which performs a specific function in cleaning carpet. The primary ingredient in carpet cleaning products is detergent. Detergents are used to break-up and remove dirt and stains and they are able to do this because they contain a chemical called a surfactant. Surfactants contain molecules that act like magnets, one end of the molecule is attracted to dirt and the other end to water. So while one end of the molecule is attaching to the dirt in the carpet, the other end is pulling the molecule toward the water in the rag used to wipe the carpet; thus the dirt is broken up, moved to the surface of the carpet and can be rinsed away.
