That water isn’t going to be super hot but you are going to use it to clean the carpet. With using the cleaning solutions on the carpet, it needs to be rinsed out as well as you can. Whatever is going to be left in the carpet will collect soil and you will see that the carpet will get dirtier faster.

With the truck mounted carpet cleaner, the water you are using is heated constantly and the temperature of that water will go over one hundred twenty degrees.
