Clean carpets are more attractive, give the right impression about your home or business, and are more hygienic for the people who come into contact with them. Unfortunately, carpet cleaning myths continue to persist, often leading to what is, simply, some bad carpet cleaning advice.Read on for some of the most prevalent myths about steam cleaning carpets.Myth #1\u2014Newer Carpets Don\u2019t Need Steam CleaningYour carpet may look new, but remember that it was designed to effectively hide wear, grime, stains, and other buildup. In fact, by the time you notice staining and grime, more extensive damage has likely already occurred. Schedule regular cleanings for newer carpets to maintain a clean appearance.RELATED ARTICLE: The Importance of Commercial Carpet Cleaning During COVID-19 and BeyondMyth #2\u2014Frequent Steam Cleaning Damages Your Carpet Modern carpets are designed to withstand vigorous cleaning and stand up to daily vacuuming and regular steam cleaning. At a minimum, vacuum regularly and opt to have your carpets steam cleaned yearly or twice yearly. For best results, ensure you don\u2019t let more than 18 months elapse between cleanings.Myth #3\u2014Steam Cleaning Causes Carpets to Attract DirtSome carpet cleaning methods\u2014such as renting a cleaner from your local grocery store\u2014can cause your carpet to collect detergent and excess water. As a result, your carpet may build up residual dirt and grow dingy and stained much more easily. However, a professional steam cleaning properly rinses out all cleaning agents and dirt, leaving your carpet clean and free of any residue that can attract grime.RELATED ARTICLE: Don\u2019t Think Deep Cleaning Carpet Is Necessary?

However, properly handled, professional steam cleaning does not create mold or mildew. When done correctly, a professional steam cleaner will extract most of the water from your carpet, allowing it to dry fully within a matter of hours.Myth #5\u2014Off-the-Shelf Cleaning Products Work Just FineStore-bought cleaners often leave behind a residue, attracting grime that looks worse than the original stain. In addition, those deodorizing powders you sprinkle on your carpet tend to build up and settle into the pile, coating the fibers, attracting grime, and potentially damaging your vacuum cleaner.
