Carpet Cleaning Myths: Just Stop Believing This!

Carpet Cleaning Myths: Just Stop Believing This!

Carpets have been around since time immemorial and so have carpet cleaning procedures. New methods of professional carpet cleaning have given rise to a lot of myths surrounding carpet cleaning that dissuade people from getting and keeping their carpets clean.

A dirty carpet isn’t only full of dust and grime; it’s a breeding spot for diseases and germs. Actually, filthy carpets pollute the air inside your house leading to a number of ailments your family members might suffer with.

Accordingly, in order to keep your family healthy and your house clean, it is necessary to clean your carpet regularly. In the event the myths listed below have been keeping you out of cleaning your carpets, then we post them here so that you may give yourself and your family a cleaner and healthier home.

You Should Not Vacuum Carpets Too Much…Wrong

As soon as we see small balls of fluff getting sucked into the vacuum cleaner each time we vacuum, we believe that we are losing parts of our carpeting. However, research has demonstrated that vacuuming does not really destroy your carpeting. You can easily vacuum a carpet three to four times per week without quality loss for decades. Considering an ordinary carpet is vacuumed only three to four times a month, it’s very important that you increase the frequency of your vacuuming.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Shrinks Carpets…Nope

Gone are the days when rugs used to be made out of shrinkable natural materials like pure wool and silk. Nearly all rugs today are made out of nylon tied to a synthetic base. Since almost all people understand that synthetics do not shrink even in hot water, there are absolutely no chance of your carpeting shrinking or losing color because of steaming or warm water extraction. On the flip side, in the event that you actually have a wool or silk carpet, then hiring professionals for cleaning is a far better choice since they will know what to utilize while cleaning it so it loses neither color nor size.

Cleaning A Carpet Makes It Get Dirtier Faster??

We notice a carpet’s propensity for getting dirty increases exponentially the minute it has been cleaned. Regrettably this isn’t due to cleaning but due to “dirty” cleaning. If your carpet doesn’t get cleaned properly and residue of cleaning compounds are left inside, then it’s likely to bring in more dust and dirt than before.

It is important that the carpet is cleaned correctly and remains of compounds are completely eliminated. If cleaning is done correctly, your carpet will not pick up any more dirt than it was doing earlier. In fact, obtaining a Scotchgard coating can ensure that it remains clean and neat for a long time to come. The trick here would be to hire a fantastic professional rug cleaning business that knows its job rather than trying to do it yourself or hiring cheap but incompetent people.

  • We had Advanced Carpet Care clean our carpets at our home in September 2019. I am very pleased with their promptness, professionalism, and overall work. Gary and his team (Tim and Brad on this occasion) are friendly and very pleasant to work with. The equipment and techniques they use are top of the line, and the price is very affordable. I recommend Advanced Carpet Care to anyone looking for carpet cleaning services in the Green Bay area. We'll be using them again in the future! Thanks again!

    Gary literally came to my rescue!! Another cleaner cancelled on me on the morning of the scheduled cleaning and I had to do a walk-through with our landlord that same day. I called Advanced, spoke to Gary and he squeezed me into his schedule. He arrived when he said he would, and the carpets were cleaned in plenty of time to do the walk-through. Gary did an amazing job!! The carpets came cleaner than I expected them to, and he even helped me out with a couple of spots on the linoleum in the kitchen without my asking! I will definitely use Advanced in the future and will highly recommend them to anyone!

  • The team of two showed up on time as scheduled and got right to work. They were friendly and great to work with. Very efficient yet thorough. They took their time on a few trouble areas in the carpets to get the job done right. Will be using them again for future work!

    Gary and the gang came over to clean my tile and grout. They showed up on time, helped move things around, and got started fast. The tile looked great in the end and it’s so nice to know I have really clean floors. My bengal cats were additionally thrilled that everyone was a cat lover, willing to pet them as demanded, and keep them safe as the floors were being cleaned.
