1. You should leave a long gap between each carpet cleaning

This is a major misconception. Dirt is harsh on your carpet and each time you walk on it, you rub dirt against the carpet fibres. This causes your carpet to wear out faster than normal. It also means that the life of your carpet is diminished largely since it won’t last nearly as long as a new and clean one. Vacuuming your carpet is very important on a regular basis but it cannot guarantee removal of tough stains. Waiting for a long time to have your carpet cleaned can seriously damage and reduce its life.

2. The main reason to get your carpets cleaned is to remove dirt.

Most people get their carpets and upholstery cleaned to improve and maintain the appearance. However, there are many other important factors to consider before getting a professional cleaning job. Fabrics, especially carpets attract a lot of environmental pollutants. Harmful contaminants which build up include lawn fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides and fungicides, cooking vapors, tobacco smoke, food crumbs, beverage spills, hair, dead skin cells, pollen and insect remains. These contaminants are a major food source for bacteria, viruses, fungi, dust mites and mold. It is vital to get you carpets and upholstery cleaned on a regular basis to get rid of such contaminants which can cause allergies, asthmas, emphysema or other breathing problems.

3. A company with equipment can clean your carpets properly.

Many companies own hot water cleaners, but a large number of employees don’t know how to use them. You probably know someone who bought the newest computer on the market, but didn’t know how to use it. The same is true with carpet cleaning machines. The company may own good equipment, but the employees may not know how to use it correctly. That is why it’s important that you choose your carpet cleaner carefully.
