Carpets are an integral part of many households and contribute to a cozy atmosphere. However, daily use, dust, dirt and animal hair quickly accumulate dirt in the fibers. Conventional methods such as vacuuming often only remove superficial dirt, while deep-seated dirt and stains remain difficult to reach. Chemical cleaning agents also often leave behind residues that damage the material and require long drying times.
A dry steam cleaner offers an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative. The hot steam penetrates deep into the carpet fibers, removes even stubborn stains and ensures hygienic cleanliness without soaking the material. This makes cleaning quick, thorough and gentle.
The most important facts in brief: Using a steam cleaner for carpets
-
Yes, carpets can be cleaned with a steam cleaner, whereby the micro dry steam version is particularly effective and gentle on the material.
-
The high temperature of the micro dry steam removes germs, mites and allergens deep down from the carpet fibers and ensures hygienic cleanliness.
-
As no chemical cleaning agents are used, there are no harmful residues that could trigger allergies or affect the material of the carpet.
-
Thanks to the low water content, the carpets dry quickly and can be used again quickly without the risk of mold growth.
Why micro dry steam?
Micro dry steam is an effective and gentle method of carpet cleaning. With a water content of only around 5%, it prevents carpets from becoming soaked and ensures quick drying. The hot steam penetrates deep into the fibers, removes stubborn dirt and disinfects at the same time. Germs, mites and allergens are reliably killed, which is ideal for allergy sufferers and households with children or pets.
Thanks to the high temperature and minimal moisture, carpets remain hygienically clean without any residue from chemical cleaning agents. This method is gentle on the material and offers a sustainable solution for regular maintenance, without long drying times or the risk of mold growth.
Advantages of cleaning a carpet with a steam cleaner
- Highly heated, very dry steam removes 99.99 % of germs:
The micro dry steam cleans carpets hygienically by effectively killing germs, mites and bacteria with its high temperature. This ensures a healthier living environment, especially in households with allergy sufferers or small children. Unlike conventional cleaning methods, no additional disinfectants are required, making it particularly environmentally friendly and safe to use. - Up to 95 % water saving:
Compared to traditional cleaning methods, which often use large amounts of water, micro dry steam works with a minimum amount of water. This not only saves resources, but also prevents the carpet from remaining damp after cleaning. This method significantly reduces drying time and minimizes the risk of mould growth or unpleasant odours. - No chemical residues:
As no chemical cleaning agents are used when cleaning carpets with micro dry steam, no residues remain in the carpet. This not only protects the fibers from long-term damage, but also prevents new soiling from settling more quickly. The chemical-free method is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and households with sensitive people. - Fast drying:
Thanks to the low water content, carpets dry in just a few minutes after cleaning. Unlike conventional methods such as shampooing, which require hours of drying time, carpets with micro dry steam can be used again immediately. This efficiency saves time and ensures that carpets remain hygienic and functional without long waiting times. - Sustainable cleaning method:
Cleaning with micro dry steam is environmentally friendly as it completely dispenses with chemical cleaning agents and plastic packaging. At the same time, significantly less water is used, which makes the method particularly resource-efficient. Carpets stay clean for longer as no residue is left behind that could attract new dirt, which reduces the need for cleaning in the long term. - Effective removal of deep-seated dirt:
The hot steam penetrates deep into the fibers and removes even stubborn dirt that conventional methods often cannot reach. Even old stains can be removed using a combination of heat and minimal moisture without damaging the material. This thorough cleaning significantly improves the appearance and hygiene of the carpet. - Thermal disinfection for hygienic cleanliness:
The high temperature of the micro dry steam disinfects the carpet during cleaning. Germs, bacteria and allergens are reliably killed, which is particularly important for households with allergy sufferers or pets. This disinfection is purely mechanical, without the use of chemicals, which makes the method environmentally friendly and safe.
Steam cleaner for carpet cleaning: how to proceed
The use of micro dry steam for carpet cleaning is extremely simple and requires no special prior knowledge. The Micro Cleaner models from Medeco are specially designed for cleaning carpets and rugs and are equipped with a variety of attachments that make it possible to effectively remove even stubborn dirt.
1. choose the right essay
To start cleaning, choose the right brush attachment for your carpet. Coarse brushes are particularly suitable for high-pile carpets, while finer brush attachments are ideal for short-pile carpets or rugs. The micro-dry steam penetrates deep into the fibers and removes even stubborn stains and dirt.
2. effective cleaning and disinfection
Move the steam cleaner slowly and evenly over the carpet surface. The steam is directed through the brush attachment directly into the fibers, where it loosens dirt and stains. Thanks to the high temperature of the steam, thermal disinfection takes place at the same time, which kills germs, bacteria and allergens. This is particularly important for households with allergy sufferers, as it ensures thorough hygiene.
3. quick drying and prevention of mold growth
After cleaning with micro dry steam, the carpet is dry and ready to walk on again within a few minutes. No long drying time is required, as would be the case when using conventional steam cleaners or carpet shampoos. This not only saves time, but also prevents the formation of mildew or unpleasant odors that could be caused by too much moisture.
4. after cleaning: Caring for carpets properly
Regular cleaning with micro dry steam not only contributes to visual cleanliness, but also extends the life of your carpet. Dust, dirt and other deposits that accumulate in the fibers can damage the structure of the carpet in the long term and lead to premature wear. By removing these impurities regularly, the carpet will remain beautiful and soft for longer.
To take optimum care of your carpet, you should clean it with micro dry steam at least every few months. In households with a lot of foot traffic or pets, more frequent cleaning may also be advisable. In addition to steam cleaning, we recommend vacuuming the carpet regularly to remove surface dirt. This will ensure that the carpet always remains in top condition.
