Debunking 3 Carpet Cleaning Myths


For most people, carpet cleaning may not be something that you think about much, aside from assuming it’s a simple process of vacuuming, shampooing or steaming. For managers of commercial buildings with wall to wall carpeted areas, it’s an important process to think about considering the many myths and misconceptions that exist surrounding carpet cleaning. New England Cleaning Services, Inc. is a professional cleaning company based in eastern Massachusetts that is certified in carpet cleaning, so we want to help debunk some of these common myths.


MYTH #1: If it doesn’t look dirty, the carpet doesn’t need cleaning.

The truth is, by the time your carpets are showing signs of dirtiness and wear, it means that a lot of damage has already been done by the dirt and debris that are caught deep down in the carpet fibers. The longer they remain, the more they are rubbed into the fibers by foot traffic from above, which can affect their strength and longevity.


MYTH #2: I can rent a machine and do the carpet cleaning myself.

Sure, the ads can make it deceivingly easy to clean carpets yourself. But without the proper knowledge, training, or advanced equipment, it is more likely going to do more damage to your carpets due to excessive water use and poor quality equipment. Hiring a certified cleaning company will not only save you time and money but will also yield much higher quality results and prevent unnecessary damage to your carpets.


MYTH #3: All professional carpet cleaning is the same.

Cleaning is not a one size fits all process. While a quick vacuum may seem sufficient for your carpet or rug at home, it is not enough to get rid of the debris, dust, and other pollutants that are caught in the fibers in your commercial facility. There are varying ways professional carpet cleaners work to fully remove dirt and debris, and not all the quality is the same. As members of the Carpet and Rug Institute, as well as the Building Service Contractors Association International (BSCAI), New England Cleaning Services, Inc. uses cutting edge technology and equipment to create and deliver high-quality carpet cleaning programs that are tailored to each type of carpet in your facility.
