Step-by-Step Guide to Carpet Steaming

Fill the Tank: Begin by filling the carpet steamer's tank with clean water. According to our reference, it's important to only use clean water for effective steaming.
Start in the Far Corner: Initiate the steaming process in the corner of the room that is furthest away from the exit. This will ensure that you don’t walk on the freshly steamed carpet.
Glide the Cleaner Head: Slowly glide the steamer's cleaning head over your carpet in even, overlapping passes. This helps to ensure all areas of the carpet are thoroughly steamed.
Allow the Carpets to Dry: After steaming, allow the carpet ample time to dry completely before walking on it. This step is crucial to prevent the reappearance of dirt or mold.
Move Furniture Back: Once the carpet is completely dry, return the furniture to its original places.

Pre-Vacuum: Always vacuum the carpet thoroughly before steaming. This removes loose dirt and debris, which can hinder the steaming process and affect the final result.
Spot Treat Stains: Treat any heavy stains with a stain remover beforehand to increase the likelihood that they will be removed during the steam cleaning.
Read the Manual: Always consult your specific carpet steamer's manual for recommended cleaning procedures or other precautions.
