4 Carpet Cleaning Misconceptions One Should Know

1. You should have long time gaps between each carpet cleaning

This is definitely a misconception. Dirt is rough on your carpets and each time you step on it,

you are brushing dirt on the carpet fibres. This can harm your carpet and cause it wear off sooner

than normal. Wearing out is one of the main reasons your dirty carpet won't last as long as a

clean one. It is important to regularly clean your carpet by vacuuming it. Vacuuming doesn't get

rid of the tough stains but keeps your carpet clean from the surface. However, the longer you

wait to get your carpet cleaned, the sooner it will get damaged and eventually wear out.

2. Removing dirt is the only reason to get your carpets cleaned.

Although improving and maintaining the appearance of your carpets and upholstery is the main

reason why most people have them cleaned, there are other important factors to consider.

Environmental pollutants can build up in fabrics at an alarming rate, especially in carpets. The

range of contaminants can be vast including; lawn fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides and

fungicides, cooking vapours, tobacco smoke, food crumbs, beverage spills, hair, dead skin cells,

pollen and insect remains to name a few all of which provide a food source for harmful micro-

organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, dust mites and mould. If you or your family suffer

from allergies, asthmas, emphysema or other breathing problems another reason to clean your

carpets is to remove these contaminants.

3. A company with equipment can clean your carpets properly.

Hot water cleaners are owned by many carpet cleaning companies but the majority of employees

don't know how to use them. This situation resembles someone who buys the latest technology

but doesn't know how to use it. Latest technology carpet cleaning machines can be owned by any

provider but there is no guarantee that the employees would know how to use them correctly.

This is one of the main reasons why you should choose your carpet cleaner carefully.
