There are two main types of carpet dry steam cleaners. You can choose from a ‘Steam & Vac’ appliance where you can you use a combined dry steam and vacuum system to clean your carpets or, alternatively, you can opt for the dry steam only option.

In terms of functionality, both types of equipment offer a huge spectrum.
