Like a steam cleaner, some steam mops can also treat carpets. First things first, we recommend that you have a gander at your product manual before you get started, as the process will vary between brands and models. Some may need you to use additional attachments. Once you’re happy to go ahead, as with standard carpet cleaners, we suggest you vacuum clean the room and move any furniture out of the way. Then, you’ll need to fill up the water tank with the appropriate amount, following the manufacturer’s instructions as per the manual. It’s important to first do a patch test on an inconspicuous area to see your carpet’s tolerance to steam.
