Debunking Four Common Carpet Cleaning Myths

Since as long as we can remember, old wives' tales have been disseminated through the grapevine. Well, sometimes they are true and other times they are just blatant lies.

Well, some of those urban legends are related to cleaning, and we would like to dispel some common misconceptions or myths regarding carpet cleaning that are currently being spread online.

DEBUNKING FOUR CARPET CLEANING PARABLES

1.      My Carpets Will Become Dirtier More Quickly If I Clean Them

This may be true IF your carpets are cleaned poorly. It is true that poor cleaning can quickly make your carpet soil since some procedures leave behind sticky residue and soil.

Your carpets won't get dirty any quicker, though, if you work with a reputable company like Rendall's. In fact, because we thoroughly rinse out all of the dirt and cleaning agents from your carpet using expert

carpet cleaner Etobicoke techniques, your carpet actually stays cleaner longer.

2.      It's Acceptable to Let Your Carpet Become Wet While Cleaning

Avoid getting your carpet overly moist. In general, high wetness and carpets do not get along. Because of this, carpet manufacturers do not advise using carpet shampooers.

If the carpeting is not dried correctly after being wet by these machines, the moisture may result in mold and fungus that might potentially spread throughout the house. Instead, carpet manufacturers advise a routine professional carpet cleaner Etobicoke procedure using a water-extraction equipment, typically once a year.

These devices—which are frequently mistaken for steam cleaners—limit the amount of water that is sent into the carpet and can then extract all of that water once the carpeting has been thoroughly, deeply cleaned.

3.      My Carpet Will Develop Mold or Mildew As A Result Of Steam Cleaning

Again, if your carpets are cleaned badly, this may be true, but cleaning your carpets properly will not result in mold or mildew. Numerous clients have complained to us about various businesses that have left their carpets soggy for several days.

We never leave your carpets sopping wet, so this is abnormal. Bacteria may wish to thrive in an environment where your carpet has been moist for a number of days. Mold or mildew won't grow on carpets that have been cleaned properly.

4.      I Don't Have to Worry About Or Deal With Spills Or Stains Because I Have Carpet Protector.

Never rely solely on carpet protectors. A protective coating that was applied to your carpeting as a purchase incentive is simply supposed to provide an additional layer of security.

Even while stains won't seep in as quickly when this protection is present, they can still harm the carpeting and need to be dealt with right away. The protective coating on the carpet will typically just delay the absorption of the stains into the carpet, thus it is still important to treat stains as soon as they appear.

To start, blot the stain as much as you can with white paper towels. Then, use paper towels to blot the wetness in the carpet as you softly dab the area with a solution of white vinegar and water.
