In many cases, steam cleaning your carpet is a much better solution than shampooing it. Let’s understand how.

Carpets can become stained from many factors- both inside and outside of your home. Over time, food and drink stains on carpets as well as chairs can also leave behind spots on your carpets. Additionally, animal hair often winds up on the surface of your carpet from pets. Once dirt or hair builds up on your carpet, washing it becomes difficult.

Fortunately, there are several ways to clean carpets without using chemicals. And whether it is steam cleaning or shampooing both works well for carpets. Shampooing is effective at removing surface stains. However, if food or drink has been spilled on the carpet, more drastic measures are necessary.
