What's so great about a steam cleaner?

With green cleaning on everyone’s mind these days we thought we would take this opportunity to talk about one of the greatest compliments to your green cleaning solutions.  Cleaning with steam is naturally a green option because your only ingredient is water.  Cleaning with water is beneficial in so many ways.  For many Americans, water is pretty much free.  It is also free of harsh smells or odors.  And since water is inexpensive, if not free, it is an economical choice for cleaning and sanitizing.  Cleaning with water is also safe for use in households with pets, children, pregnant women, or elderly.

Cleaning with steam accomplishes something that many chemicals simply cannot do, it kills bacteria.  Regardless of what is applied to bacteria in hopes of killing it, temperature is the only guaranteed way to safely remove bacteria from surfaces without leaving behind harsh chemicals.  Steam deodorizes and sanitizes with heat and moisture, and since you are using only water, your home or work place has never been safer, healthier, or more environmentally friendly. 

Steam cleaners can do a lot of things that regular vacuums cannot do, like kill bed bugs or remove stains from carpet. Oh, and that wallpaper you have been wanting to remove from the hallway bathroom, the steam cleaner can handle that too.  There are many options for steam cleaning available, from highly versatile cleaners that can tackle every job in the home to highly specialized steamers that are ideal for specific tasks.  

The Rug Doctor Models

This article is devoted to exploring in-depth features and benefits of Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machines. Our previous article, Why Rug Doctor?, introduced key reasons why consumers would want to purchase a Rug Doctor Machine. This article digs deeper into each model offered and hopes to offer some clarity to consumers interested in purchasing a Rug Doctor, but aren’t sure which machine they need.

For starters, some general information about the Rug Doctor cleaners will be useful. These machines are unique in that they all utilize a 3-step cleaning process which effectively cleans carpets with a single pass of the machine. Typical carpet cleaners require a longer process of pre-treating, shampooing, rinsing, and finally extracting moisture and chemicals from the carpets. The Rug Doctor machines effectively complete injection, agitation, and extraction with only one pass of the machine over your carpet, saving you time and energy.

Speaking of extraction, the Rug Doctor carpet cleaners are the only deep carpet extractor for the consumer market that is approved by the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) for superior cleaning. The CRI Seal of Approval program identifies effective carpet cleaning solutions and equipment that cleans carpet right the first time and protects your carpet investment. Oh, and another accolade for the Rug Doctor cleaning machines is the coveted Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, a prestigious award from the well-known Good Housekeeping Research Institute.

Why Rug Doctor?

Have you ever hired a professional carpet cleaner? It makes perfect sense why you would. You invest a lot of money into beautiful carpeting in your home, it’s only logical that you would protect your investment by having it professionally cleaned periodically. Dirt and grime stored deep in the carpet pile can break carpet strands leading to more than just dirty carpet, but damaged carpet that will need to be replaced. Unfortunately, professional carpet cleaning services come with a professional price. The one-time service could be anywhere from $300 to over $700 for an average, 2,000 square foot home. There has to be a more cost effective way, and there is.

For as little as the cost of one visit from a professional carpet cleaning service, you can have the power of a professional-grade Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner at home whenever you need it. You could refresh your carpets once a year or every season depending on your needs, not your budget. Most homeowners do not realize how affordable owning a Rug Doctor Machine is today. If you own a home that has carpet in half the rooms or more, you owe it to yourself to consider a Rug Doctor Shampooer.
