How do you maintain the carpet in your home or business? Vacuuming daily and carpet freshener can only pick up surface dirt and mask smells for so long before you realize it’s time to replace the floor coverings.
If you have ever considered to use do-it-yourself carpet cleaning products and equipment in an attempt to remove old stains, here are some reasons why this may not be the best option.
- Many commercial stain removers actually make carpet stains worse or permanent.
- If you use a shampooer incorrectly, you could damage your carpet fibers.
- Not only will your carpet be shredded, the residue from the shampoo may hold dirt on top of your carpet. Of course, a ShopVac can remove some of the extra soap and water, but you will never get the same results as trained professionals with commercial equipment.
- If you are not able to remove all of the excess water and soap from the carpet, you may develop mold within your carpet, which will destroy the floor under the carpet. Also, mold is dangerous for health.
