Hot water extraction — commonly called steam cleaning — is the most thorough carpet cleaning method available. Our professional-grade equipment injects a precise mixture of hot water and eco-friendly cleaning solution deep into the carpet pile, then extracts it along with all loosened dirt, allergens, and contaminants.
Why Hot Water Extraction
The Benefits of This Method
Removes 98% of allergens
Hot water extraction eliminates dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and bacteria that vacuuming leaves behind.
Deep pile penetration
Unlike surface cleaning, hot water reaches the base of the carpet pile where the majority of dirt accumulates.
No chemical residue
Our rinse-and-extract process removes cleaning solution completely — no sticky residue to attract future dirt.
Safe for all carpet types
Suitable for wool, nylon, polyester, Axminster, Wilton, and all synthetic carpets.
Dries in 2–4 hours
Our high-powered extraction equipment removes up to 95% of moisture, dramatically reducing drying time.
Extends carpet life
Regular hot water extraction removes abrasive particles that wear down carpet fibres over time.
Step by Step
Our Process
Pre-inspection
We assess carpet type, fibre composition, soiling level, and any stains before selecting the right treatment programme.
Pre-vacuuming
Dry soil and loose debris are removed by thorough vacuuming before wet treatment begins.
Pre-treatment
Specialist pre-spray solutions are applied to break down grease, oils, and heavy soiling.
Hot water extraction
Professional-grade truck-mount or portable equipment injects hot water at high pressure and extracts it immediately.
Spot treatment
Any remaining stains receive targeted treatment with specialist spotting agents.
Grooming & drying
Carpet pile is groomed to restore texture and air movers accelerate drying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hot water extraction the same as steam cleaning?
The terms are often used interchangeably, though technically hot water extraction uses water at around 80–100°C rather than true steam. It is the most effective carpet cleaning method available and is recommended by most carpet manufacturers.
How long does the carpet take to dry?
Most carpets are dry within 2–4 hours. We recommend keeping windows open and avoiding heavy foot traffic during drying. In cooler or more humid conditions, drying may take slightly longer.
Is it safe for wool carpets?
Yes — we use wool-safe, pH-neutral cleaning solutions and adjust water temperature and pressure to suit delicate fibres. We always pre-test on a hidden area.
How often should I have my carpets hot water extracted?
We recommend every 12–18 months for most households, or every 6–12 months in homes with children, pets, or allergy sufferers.
Will it shrink my carpet?
No — when performed correctly by trained technicians, hot water extraction does not cause shrinkage. We control water temperature, pressure, and extraction carefully to prevent any damage.
