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.
