Carpet Cleaning Myth: Steam cleaning causes mold or mildew to grow in carpet.

Fact: Properly cleaned carpets will not create mold or mildew. ✨

A professional steam cleaning actually makes your home HEALTHIER, rinsing out soil and other unhealthy particles that accumulate over time. This cleaning method is also the #1 type recommended by carpet manufacturers. Why the misunderstanding?

Carpet that has been submerged in water or wet for an extended time can create an environment in which unhealthy organisms can grow if not treated properly. This can most often be the case with water intrusions but also with unskilled cleaners, including those who attempt a DIY cleaning.💦

Carpet Cleaning Myth: Home Carpet Cleaning Machines Offer a Similar Cleaning Ability When Compared with a Professional Carpet Cleaning

Fact: Home carpet cleaning machines can be helpful when properly used but they tend to saturate the carpet with water and are not powerful enough to extract the water and other cleaning products back out of the carpet. This can leave the carpet wet for days, which can make it vulnerable to mold and mildew. Residue left in the carpet can cause it to age at a faster pace, leaving it with a dingy appearance and a tendency to re-soil quickly. Professional cleanings from truck mounted units utilizing hot water extraction ("steam cleaning") by experienced cleaning experts are able to deliver a level of clean that can't even compare to DIY machines and your carpet will be dry in a matter of hours, not days. If you're ready to experience the difference a professional cleaning can make, let us know. We can help!

Carpet Cleaning Myth: It's Bad for Carpets to Get Wet

Fact: This is true if you’re referring to a water damage or intrusion. However, if you’re using it as a reason not to have your carpet professionally cleaned, it couldn’t be farther from the truth. Most carpet manufacturers require annual professional cleanings using hot water extraction (most often referred to as “steam cleaning”) to maintain the carpet warranty. Unlike dry cleaning and other cleaning methods that just clean the surface of the carpet, steam cleaning is effective at removing odor causing bacteria, spots, and other unwanted things from your carpet while leaving them virtually residue-free (which is safer for your family and pets).
