Can carpet steamer damage carpet?

Answer:
A carpet steamer can damage carpet depending on what type of carpet it is. Man-made plastic-based fibers are most likely to be damaged. In most cases, a steamer will not harm carpet. However, if you are concerned, do a test cleaning in an inconspicuous spot.
