Worst Carpet Cleaning Mistakes

In this blog entry, the professional New Jersey carpet cleaning service team at Carpetline will detail the most common mistakes that people make when they attempt to clean their home or business carpets.

Worst Carpet Cleaning Mistakes

  • Salt for Carpet Brightening – Salt will never actually clean carpets, but is more likely to leave harsh and abrasive residue that will damage your carpet fibers.
    • Instead – Contact Carpetline for professional carpet deep cleaning services that will utilize proven methods to restore the original color and appearance of your carpet
  • Steaming With Mops or Clothes Steamers – These machines have not been designed for carpet cleaning, and will likely damage your carpet by adding far too much heat, as well as leaving your carpet soaking wet.
    • Instead– Utilize our professional hot carbonating extraction (HCE) carpet cleaning technique to clean your carpet without soaking it or causing it to be subject to extreme heat
  • Brush Scrubbing– Scrubbing often spreads stains around while damaging the delicate fibers of your carpet.
    • Instead – Rely on our specialty stain removal surfaces that utilize EPA-approved, gentle, color safe, specialty solutions that will break down the exact source of the carpet stain on a molecular level
  • Vinegar Cleaning– A Lot of people think that vinegar is a great natural cleanser for carpets, but it is actually the opposite of this. Vinegar leaves a strong acrid smell that lingers in carpet fibers, and its high acidity levels rapidly stiffen carpet fibers and fade carpet colors. This can permanently damage your carpet and lead to the need for total carpet replacement! Instead- Avoid quick DIY carpet cleaning fixes and contact carpetline to arrange our professional deep carpet cleaning services
