Deep Clean or Steam Vacuum

Most people when they think of steam vacuums think of a machine that will deep clean their carpet, but some of the models also clean hard floor surfaces. Knowing this may make it easier to decide if you should buy one or not, because its usefulness has almost doubled.

Some typical features on a deep cleaning vacuum are rotating brushes that will agitate the carpet pile and loosen the dirt for a more thorough clean; on hard floor surfaces the rotating brushes will gently scrub clean the floor. Some models have a handy automatic tool conversion button or switch that you push or flip as you move from carpeted surfaces to hard floor surfaces or vice versa.

The most popular use of the deep cleaning vacuum is for carpet stains. The hot water and cleaning solution are pushed deep into the carpet to extract the stain. Special nozzles can also be attached to make this job more effective. When the job is complete you just need to empty the container and most models are equipped with a handy one hand tank removal.

Carpet cleaning frequency: If you take scheduled approach to your cleaning your carpets will look cleaner longer. Entrances clean every 4-6 weeks, bedrooms about every 8 weeks, main traffic areas every 12 weeks, clean the entire house every 15 months.
