Steam Cleaning for Borrego Springs homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. "Steam cleaning" is what everyone calls hot-water extraction, and it's the method carpet manufacturers actually recommend. Our truck mount heats water to 230°F, injects it into the carpet with a detergent, and extracts it immediately with high-CFM vacuum — no dwell time for mold.

Why does the Mountain region matter for this service?
Mountain-area steam cleaning often needs the wood-stove-film pre-treatment to cut through the fine ash film that collects on carpet near stoves and fireplaces.
Is steam cleaning actually steam?
It's a misnomer. The industry term is "hot-water extraction." We inject hot water (not steam) under pressure, then immediately vacuum it back. Real steam (212°F+ vapor) is used for some sanitation, but it doesn't clean carpet fibers deeply on its own — the extraction is what lifts soil.
What temperature does your truck mount run?
230°F at the wand on a good day, 210°F on longer hose runs up to a second-story condo. Grocery-store rentals top out around 120°F — they call themselves "hot water" but they're not hot enough to cut through body oils and dirt emulsified in the pile.
