Q: Is shampoo or steam better for cleaning carpets?

• <div><p>Although shampooing can quickly fix odors, it causes more wear on your carpet over time than steam cleaning. Another advantage of steam cleaning is that it doesn&rsquo;t leave residue on your carpet fibers and will usually leave them feeling softer than shampooing does. Although a steamer is more expensive, it&rsquo;s worth the cost when considering the wear on your carpet and the replacement cost.</p></div>
