The gold standard for professional carpet cleaning is Hot Water Extraction (often called "steam cleaning"). It forces a heated cleaning solution deep into the fibers to dislodge dirt, followed by powerful vacuum extraction.
Hot water extraction:
A carpet cleaning method that uses hot water and a cleaning solution to loosen and extract dirt and debris from the carpet fibers. We recommend using warm water with all of our carpet cleaning shampoos to ensure you achieve the ultimate professional standard clean.
Carpet cleaning is performed to remove stains, dirt, debris, and allergens from carpets. Common methods include hot water extraction, dry-cleaning, and vacuuming.
Whether you're worried about allergies or grime, vacuuming and deep cleaning your carpets is a proven way to extract microscopic particles like pet dander, pollen, dust mite waste, and dust which can quickly build up in carpeting. These nearly invisible bits of debris can trigger allergy symptoms.
Yes, Eufy robot vacuums work on carpet, but performance varies by model. They excel on low to medium-pile carpets and rugs.
When the S1 and S1 Pro robot detects a carpet, it will automatically switch to the "Carpet" mode. In this mode, the mopping pads will automatically lift by 12mm to ensure that the robot will only vacuum but not mop the carpet to prevent the carpet from getting wet.
Anti-dust mite laundry detergents and additives are specially formulated to neutralize allergens and wash away waste matter in any water temperature, making them highly effective for allergy relief without damaging delicate fabrics.

Steam cleaning methods for cleaning carpets provide the deepest clean by using hot water extraction to remove dirt, allergens, and stains from deep within your carpet fibers. Expect to pay $80 to $600 for professional carpet cleaning, with costs varying based on your chosen method and your home's square footage.
Sprinkling baking soda on your carpet before vacuuming is a great way to absorb odors and freshen things up. Just let it sit for about 15 to 30 minutes, then vacuum thoroughly.
What's our process?
When you steam clean a carpet, the dirt is loosened by the hot water and steam, then immediately suctioned out of the fibers. It is collected as dirty, muddy wastewater inside the machine's recovery tank, which must be emptied after cleaning.
Hiring a service is almost always going to be more expensive than renting a cleaner or even buying one. But one big perk of hiring a service is, of course, not having to do the (possibly grueling) work yourself—and professionals will know the best way to handle different types of carpets and get them thoroughly clean.
The Biggest Carpet Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid
The average cost to carpet a 12x12 room (144 square feet) is $450 to $1,500 fully installed. This total spans about $3 to $11 per square foot, covering the carpet itself, padding, and labor.
Popular neutral carpet colors like warm beige, soft taupe, greige, and oatmeal continue to top the list for a reason. They're calm, easy to match, and create a clean foundation that works in modern, traditional, or blended interiors.
The average lifespan of carpeting, depending on its quality, amount of traffic, pets, and number of children, among other factors, is about 5 to 15 years. Wear, increased allergy symptoms, dormant stains, discoloration, and odors are signs that you need to replace your carpet.
Mattresses, bed linen, bedding, towels, upholstery and carpets are ideal places where dust mites can multiply at their leisure. They provide them with everything they need: food (in the form of human skin scales) and moisture.
Dust mites are at their absolute worst during late summer and winter. Because they feed on dead skin and thrive in humidity, their population and allergen levels peak at different times of the year:
Mop, dust, and vacuum to reduce dust and dust mites. Damp-mop hard floors (tile or hardwood, for example) once a day. Dust and vacuum once or twice a week to remove the buildup of allergens. Use a dry cloth to wipe hard surfaces such as countertops, tables, and other furniture.

You can only wash an 8x10 rug in a top-load washing machine if the rug is specifically labeled as machine-washable (like a Ruggable) and your machine is a large-capacity (4.5+ cubic feet) model without a center agitator. Standard 8x10 rugs will break the washer.
