Steam Cleaning in La Jolla, CA.
Steam Cleaning for La Jolla homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. "Steam cleaning" is what everyone calls hot-water extraction, and it's the method carpet manufacturers actually recommend. The matched pro's truck mount heats water to 230°F, injects it into the carpet with a detergent, and extracts it immediately with high-CFM vacuum, no dwell time for mold.
Why is steam cleaning different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal steam cleaning adds a salt-neutralizing rinse to pull salt residue out of fibers. Rooms dry fast thanks to coastal airflow but the salt is what actually causes long-term damage to carpet backing.

La Jolla carpet work is high-end residential with significant wool and silk rug volume - in-plant rug pickup-and-delivery for hand-knotted Persian and Oriental work, on-site cleaning for synthetic and standard wool stair runners, upholstery work for custom fabric and leather, and full discretion on second-home and primary-residence schedules.. Coastal steam cleaning adds a salt-neutralizing rinse to pull salt residue out of fibers.
Is steam cleaning actually steam?
It's a misnomer. The industry term is "hot-water extraction." The matched pros inject hot water (not steam) under pressure, then immediately vacuum it back. Real steam (212°F+ vapor) is used for some sanitation, but it doesn't clean carpet fibers deeply on its own, the extraction is what lifts soil.
What temperature does your truck mount run?
230°F at the wand on a good day, 210°F on longer hose runs up to a second-story condo. Grocery-store rentals top out around 120°F, they call themselves "hot water" but they're not hot enough to cut through body oils and dirt emulsified in the pile.
