There are several Carpet Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid, Cleaning your carpet will extend the life of your carpeting. Contributing to better home air quality and cleanliness. Thus reducing your chance to develop allergies and illness. We recommend getting your carpets professionally cleaned every 12-18 months, even if you vacuum regularly. Here are the top carpet cleaning mistakes made by do-it-yourselfer. (and inexperienced pros)
- Over-shampooing
- Over-wetting
- Failing to protect the wet carpet from furniture
Over-Shampooing
This occurs when either too much shampoo is used or the carpet is not rinsed well. Avoid this by always following the carpet cleaner label instructions. As build-up soapy residue can be difficult to clean out. Leaving them saturated with soap turns your carpets a dirt magnet.
Over-Wetting
This occurs when excess water soaks into the bottom of your carpet. Some backing materials cause the carpet to discolor if they get too wet. Some carpets will shrink, causing them to tear themselves up from the floor. If the backing and pad get wet, it is very difficult to dry them. You run the additional risk of mold and mildew problems.
Stains from Furniture
Be aware of furniture that may leave stains when in contact with wet carpeting. Several types of woods may release some dyes and discolor your carpets. Many pieces of furniture could have feet that contain metal. The metal may leave rust stains in your carpet. We recommend moving furniture that may cause stains when cleaning your carpets. If possible, use foam blocks or foil-backed cardboard squares to keep the furniture off the carpet.
Professional Carpet Cleaning
Pros use similar methods as DIY’ers but with two important differences. Firstly, they clean carpets all day every day. That experience makes them familiar with various cleaning methods and hazards. Especially when dealing with expensive carpeting like yours! Also, they know how to handle specific types of stains and heavily soiled areas.
Pros use much more complex equipment and cleaning agents to get the job done right. Such as the powerful vacuums used in hot water extraction. You’ll see them mounted on a truck parked outside your home. Learn more about carpet cleaning here.
