Professional Carpet Cleaning Process – How Our Steam Cleaning System Works
At Local Expert Cleaning we use professional hot water extraction (steam cleaning) to deep clean carpets and remove embedded dirt, stains, allergens and bacteria from deep within the fibres.
Our system uses a powerful Airflex 500 PSI professional carpet cleaning machine, combined with a Magma inline heater which heats the cleaning solution before it reaches the carpet. This allows us to inject heated water and cleaning solution deep into the carpet fibres and immediately extract the dirt using strong vacuum suction.
This process restores the appearance of carpets, removes odours and leaves the fibres cleaner and hygienic.
Below you can see the step-by-step carpet cleaning process we use when cleaning carpets in homes and businesses.


What Is Hot Water Extraction Carpet Cleaning?
Hot water extraction, often called steam carpet cleaning, is widely considered the most effective professional carpet cleaning method.
The process works by injecting heated water mixed with a specialist cleaning solution deep into the carpet fibres. This loosens dirt, oils and soil trapped in the carpet.
A powerful extraction vacuum then removes the water together with the dissolved dirt, leaving the carpet thoroughly cleaned.
Because the system reaches deep into the carpet pile, it removes far more dirt than domestic machines or supermarket carpet cleaners.
Our 6-Step Professional Carpet Cleaning Process
Carpet Inspection
We begin by inspecting the carpet fibres, stains and wear areas to determine the most suitable cleaning approach.
Â
Â
Pre-Vacuuming
A powerful commercial vacuum is used to remove loose dirt and debris before deep cleaning begins.
Â
Stain Treatment
Targeted stain removal products are applied to treat stubborn stains such as drink spills, food stains or pet accidents.
Â
Pre-Spray Application
A specialist cleaning solution is applied to break down oils, dirt and soil trapped in the carpet fibres.
Â
Hot Water Extraction Cleaning
Using our Airflex 500 PSI machine and Magma inline heater, heated cleaning solution is injected into the carpet and immediately extracted using powerful suction. This removes dirt, bacteria and allergens from deep inside the carpet.
Â
Drying Process
After cleaning, carpets typically take 2–4 hours to dry, depending on airflow and room temperature.

Why Professional steam Carpet Cleaning Works Better
Professional extraction machines remove dirt from deep inside carpet fibres, something domestic machines and rental equipment cannot achieve.
Professional carpet cleaning equipment is significantly more powerful than domestic machines. Systems like the Airflex 500 PSI extraction machine provide strong water pressure and powerful vacuum extraction that removes deep-down dirt from the carpet fibres.
