There are many benefits to steam cleaning your carpet. The steam from the water helps loosen any dirt and grime deep in your carpet. This ensures that you, or a company, can get your carpet as clean as possible. If you only use the water in the machine then it is very environmentally friendly as it uses no chemicals to clean.
