Steam Cleaner Vacuum

A selection of hot water extractors are being marketedthat range from the large or small canister typeswith hose and nozzle to those that look more like anupright vacuum cleaner. The basic operation of thesteam cleaner vacuum involves spraying a mixtureof warm water and detergent into the carpet, washingthe fibers and then extracting the solution mixtureback out. There are some models that include rotating or revolving brushes that will agitate thecarpet for better cleaning.

The earlier styles that were sold consisted of a special wand and nozzle that was used to on wet/dryutility type of vacuum cleaner. The long hose wasconnected to a nearby hot water source. The detergentcame in a small bottle on the wand and was mixed withhot water before being sprayed on the carpet. Byusing a finger controlled valve, you should controlhow much water was sprayed in the carpet. Even today,this type of vacuum is still being used.

The more modern designs are more self contained inthe sense that water and detergent mixtures are placed into a tank on the machine. This will freeyou from the long water supply hose.

The main part of an extractor will consist of a cleaning solution tank, recovery tank, suction motor,cleaning nozzle, and some sort of solution sprayingsystem. If there is a hose that is used, there will also be a motor or turbine driven pump thatwill force the solution on to the end of the hose.

Upright steam cleanersThese types of vacuums look like uprights alsohave the tanks, suction motor, main nozzle, andother features built into one. The entire vacuumunit is pushed around much like using an uprightvacuum cleaner. Normally, the solution is gravityfed to the spray nozzle which is directly behindthe suction nozzle.

Most types have brushes mounted in the same areato agitate the carpet for overall better cleaning.For cleaning upholstered furniture and carpetedstairs, most types will have a special hose andsmaller nozzle that will come with stationary brushes that can easily detach.

Canister steam cleanersThis type of steam cleaner will come with a separatehose and nozzle and has the tanks and suction motorbuilt directly into a case that is pulled alongwith you. The nozzle at the end of the hose andthe wands are moved back and forth across the carpetto clean it.

There are some deluxe models that have a drive motorstyle revolving brush in the nozzle that will helpyou with the process of cleaning. These types ofnozzles are much lighter to move acros the carpetthan the upright types of steam cleaners.

The only disadvantage is that they aren't as convenient to set up and store as the self containedupright type. Therefore, having to pull themaround with you can be a pain in the neck. Thesmaller portable extractor is a variation of thecanister type in a small package. Even though thismay sound great to have for stairs and furniture,the effectiveness they offer is actually quitepoor.

Steam cleaners work the best when they used on aperiodic basis to clean carpets that are verylightly soiled. If you use them on carpet that isvery heavily soiled or stained, it can be verydisappointing to say the least.

If you have the need for heavy duty cleaning, you should look into the professional cleaning services that are offered in your area. They haveheavy duty commercial equipment that is far morepowerful and able to produce much better results.
