The Biggest Myth about Carpet Cleaning Dispelled

Recently, and many times in the past, I’ve been asked “Don’t they say it’s not good to have your carpets cleaned too often”.     The art and the science of carpet cleaning have come a long way and yet there is still this myth or misunderstanding.   Some people still believe that the more you have your carpets cleaned the faster they will get dirty.  So is there any truth to this?Carpet cleaning technician extracting carpet in the dining room of a vacation house in Towamensing Trails community.

The answer is “NO”, not if they are cleaned properly.   Think about how many times in our life that we have washed our hair.   I know that I’m not the only one who is guilty of reading shampoo bottles.   And so I know, that you know, one key instruction on every bottle of shampoo and conditioner is to “RINSE”.  That is so your hair is left feeling soft and silky, not crunchy and sticky.

Carpet cleaning, especially Hot Water Extraction, has evolved to where rinsing out the residues left behind by detergents and cleaning agents is one of the most important steps in the cleaning process.   Most professional cleaners now use a rinsing agent in the extraction process while the cleaning solutions are put down as a pre-spray ahead of the extraction.   So when done properly, no your carpet will not get dirty quicker. Soapy and sticky residue left behind due to lack of a proper rinse is the cause for rapidly re-soiling carpet.
