Dust, house dust mites, stains and odours collect in the carpet. Carpet foam and stain sprays leave residues in the fabric, right where children play. Hot micro steam dissolves the dirt with pure heat and works down into the fibres, entirely without chemicals. This page shows step by step how it works.
Hot micro steam cleans the carpet with heat alone, without chemicals. It loosens stains and odours and lowers the house dust mite allergen, for longer than vacuuming alone (proven: Vojta 2001).
Carpets and runners take in dust, moisture, skin flakes and odours every day. The fabric holds it all, deep between the fibres, where vacuuming alone can no longer reach.

So the carpet becomes a silent collector. You can't see the load on it, but it sits in the fabric.
Mites live between the fibres; their droppings contain allergens.
Spills and odours seep into the fabric and stay there.
Foam and sprays leave residues right where children play.
Inside the device, tap water is heated to around 180 °C. The fine, hot steam penetrates the fibres. The heat dissolves the dirt and acts on the mites and their allergen, deep into the fabric.
A study in Environmental Health Perspectives showed that steam cleaning lowers the house dust mite allergen in carpet, lasting longer than vacuuming alone, for up to eight weeks. [Source: Vojta 2001]
Because the steam contains very little water, the carpet stays only slightly damp and dries quickly. How the heat works in detail is explained in the micro steam overview.
No foam, no spray. One device, the right attachment, hot steam.
Three ways to a clean carpet. The difference lies in what is left behind in the fabric.
| Hot micro steam | Carpet foam/spray | Wet vacuum | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Heat dissolves dirt in the fibres | chemicals bind the dirt | water rinses the dirt out |
| Mite allergen | lowered, evidenced (Vojta) | not proven | partly rinsed out |
| Chemicals needed | no, only water | yes | often with additive |
| Residues in the fabric | none, water evaporates | foam residue possible | residues depending on additive |
| Residual moisture, drying | low, dries quickly | depending on amount | lots of water, long drying |
| Odours | source is dissolved | often masked | partly rinsed out |

Frequently asked questions
The hot steam lowers the house dust mite allergen in carpet, backed by a study (Vojta 2001). The heat also reduces germs in the fabric. It's not a promise of a cure, but many allergy sufferers notice a difference.
No. The steam contains very little water; the carpet gets only slightly damp and dries quickly. You don't have to wait long before walking on it again.
The heat dissolves many stains and tackles the source of the odour instead of masking it. Old, deeply dried-in stains should be tested on a spot beforehand.
For most short-pile carpets and fitted carpet. Sensitive or hand-knotted pieces should be tested on a hidden spot beforehand.
Usually not. The hot steam from plain tap water does the work, entirely without carpet foam or stain spray.
With the same device you also clean mattresses, upholstery and the vehicle interior. At the free demonstration we show it on your own carpet.
