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.

  • Very pleased with the work done by Gary and his team! We had the carpet in our new home cleaned prior to move in. They were able to come out the same day I called, and they did a wonderful job on our carpet. Since the previous owners had pets, we wanted to be sure there were no lingering issues or odors before moving in with our own pets. They were so courteous and the carpets look so much better! The impressions from furniture are barely visible any longer, and they pulled a lot of pet hair out of the carpet with the cleaning that remained despite my vacuuming. We would not hesitate to use this company again for any cleaning services they offer.

    If you have pets, Gary and his team is the best company to use. Gary has done our carpets a couple times but this time he did our furniture due to one of my cats that had a UTI and peed on the furniture and the area rug. Not only did he get all the stains out but also that icky pee smell that stunk the whole room up. Everything now smells so fresh.

    Very thorough explanation of processes and advantages of this method especially for pet stains. Guys were prompt and courteous and the rooms came out better than expected. Will definitely use again. I have cleaned carpet professionally many years ago and was impressed by this business.

    I can’t recommend Advanced Carpet Care enough. Their work is excellent and the prices are great too. They came with 2 men, which speeds things up. They also moved all my furniture out of the way so they could clean all the carpet. I typically have seen other companies just go around obstacles but these guys actually move stuff so they can be thorough. After they left, the carpets looked like new and smelled fresh.We have been putting off carpet cleaning because of the chemicals, but these guys use GREEN non-toxic solutions and they still leave you with really clean carpets! If they need a little more cleaning power they can use a mild detergent that is still very earth friendly.Lastly, they are a local business, and I prefer giving my money to the smaller service-minded business over a large corporation.

    My wife and I bought a house that smelled like dog, the previous owner had 3 dogs that must have spent all of their time in the living room. I was worried that we'd have to replace the carpet but Advanced Carpet Care was able to get the dog smell out 100%. We couldn't be more happy, very pleased.
