What steam cleaning actually is
Carpet "steam cleaning" doesn't use live steam. It is hot water extraction: heated water is sprayed into the pile at pressure and immediately vacuumed back out, carrying loosened soil, oils and allergens with it. It is the method most carpet makers recommend and the one their warranties are written around.
The difference between a good and a poor steam clean is heat, suction and rinsing. Truck-mounted units produce much hotter water and far stronger vacuum than rental machines, so more soil comes out and less water stays behind.
Common worries, answered
Steam cleaning does not cause mold when it is done right: strong extraction leaves the carpet damp, not wet, and it dries in hours. It does not shrink nylon or polyester carpet. Wool carpet is cleaned at a lower temperature with a wool-safe rinse.

Steam carpet cleaning questions
Is steam cleaning the same as hot water extraction?
Yes. "Steam cleaning" is the common name for hot water extraction. The water is hot, but the cleaning comes from rinsing and extracting, not from steam.
Will steam cleaning make my carpet moldy?
Not when it is extracted properly. The carpet should be damp, not wet, and dry in about 4 to 8 hours. Running AC or a fan helps.
Is truck-mounted better than portable?
Truck-mounted equipment is hotter and has stronger suction, so it is our first choice. Portable units are used for apartments and upper floors the hoses can't reach.
