Crawfords Carpet Cleaning : Frequently Asked Questions

I have just bought a steam cleaner can I clean my carpets/upholstery with it?

Although these steam machines are often advertised as suitable for cleaning carpets and soft furnishings BE CAREFUL! The twist in a cut pile carpet is heat set and using excessively high heat (steam) can release the twist in the pile giving the carpet a felt like appearance. The use of these units on velvet pile fabrics will result in severe distortion damage.
