Carpet cleaning gets a bad reputation for a number of different reasons. This article will expose some of the negative myths of carpet cleaning. Keep reading and find out more about why you do not need to fear the carpet cleaner.

The number one myth about carpet cleaning is that it causes carpet to get dirty quicker. This myth comes from people who have had their carpet cleaned by a sloppy professional or have done it themselves. When carpet is cleaned improperly it is left with a high amount of soapy residue. This residue will attract soil quickly and lead to rapid soiling. If carpet is cleaned correctly it will not be left with a residue. Professional cleaners are able to completely remove all traces of detergents and shampoos after the cleaning.

The next myth about carpet cleaning is that it can cause the carpet to shrink or stretch out. This myth comes from the fact that carpets used to have Jute backing. This backing would stretch and shrink if over wetted by sloppy carpet cleaners or do it yourself cleaning. Jute backing is no longer used. Carpet today has a latex backing which is not affected by moisture the same way that Jute was.

The last myth I will discuss is the myth that carpet cleaning causes mold. I can understand how this could be scary but to grow mold your carpet would have to stay wet for a long period of time, days or even weeks. Carpet cleaners today can get carpets dry in as little as one hour and the norm is no longer than six hours. This myth comes from once again bad carpet cleaners and faulty home cleaning methods.

As you can see most of the negative myths in carpet cleaning come from bad carpet cleaning methods. Modern and quality carpet cleaners do not have these problems so you have nothing to worry about. just do some research and choose a quality carpet cleaner for your next carpet cleaning.
