Carpet Cleaning Myths

The first time I had my carpets steam cleaned, I was worried that they would be wet for days. Precision Cleaning Services' Owner Curt Holman says that's a common misconception. The truth is, if you hire a good technician who uses the right equipment, carpets should be dry within 4 to 8 hours. Another myth is that you should delay cleaning new carpets for as long as possible because they will never be as good as new again. Modern cleaning methods remove all residues and more frequent cleaning in fact extends the carpet's life. Finally, some consumers believe Scotchguarding is built into their carpets permanently. Fabric protection does wear off and needs to be renewed within 6 months to a year in high-traffic areas and every other year for the rest of your carpets.
