Navigating the sea of information on the internet, particularly regarding deep carpet cleaning tips, can be overwhelming. Often, you may find tips that come across as doubtful or worse, disastrous for your carpet. As experienced carpet cleaners in Thousand Oaks, we’ve encountered multiple instances where homeowners have come to us after damaging their carpets due to dubious internet advice. Our mission is to help you avoid such unnecessary troubles. Consequently, we’re here to unmasked some common carpet cleaning myths.
Using salt for brighter carpets.
Some corners of the internet suggest using salt, claiming it can enhance your carpet’s appearance, making them look cleaner. From our professional standpoint, this is a myth. Salt alone isn’t capable of cleaning. Further, your home vacuum won’t be able to remove all the salt, leaving residual grit that can expedite carpet wear by creating friction between carpet fibers. If your carpets are looking worn out or have noticeable traffic lanes, choose professional deep carpet cleaning. This method can help revive your carpets original color and appeal.
Self-steaming carpets with a clothes steamer or steam mop.
While it seems logical to try and save money by using your clothes steamer or steam mop for carpet cleaning, it is a mistake. These machines are not designed for deep carpet cleaning. Moreover, steam cleaning doesn’t equate to deep carpet cleaning. At Chem-Dry, we use a superior technique called Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE). Unlike steam cleaning, our method doesn’t leave your carpets excessively wet or risk overheating your carpets.
Scrubbing carpets with a scrub brush.
Scrubbing might work for dirty dishes but definitely not for carpets. Carpet fabrics are delicate and densely woven, and scrubbing can damage their texture, color and lifespan. Scrubbing a stain or spot only spreads it instead of removing it. Our Pet Urine Removal Treatment (P.U.R.T.®) works at a molecular level to remove spots and stains effectively.
Applying vinegar on carpets.
Vinegar may be a natural cleaning agent, but it is not a miracle solution for deep carpet cleaning. Using vinegar on your carpet not only leaves an unpleasant smell, but it also alters your carpet’s color and texture due to its acidic properties.
