We do not believe this is the deep cleaning needed to justify the cost. 

The process for hot water extraction, is first identifying the correct cleaning solution for the carpet fiber and soil type. Spraying it down at 400psi And allowing to dwell 15-20 minutes. Then using our high powered truck mount system we use 190°-210° Steam injected with a rinse (think fabric softener) to neutralize soapiness of the cleaning Solution, as not to leave a residue that attracts dust and dirt. 300 psi it breaks up any stubborn dirt, and at 20x the suction of an at home vacuum, it pulls from deep down to remove dirt, dust, and allergen!
