What Not To Do When Carpet Cleaning

There’s been a lot of talk about what to do when deep cleaning: how to use the machine, which type of carpet cleaning formula is the best for your needs, how to remove stains, the list could go on and on! But today let’s focus on the opposite: what NOT to do!

Not Deep Cleaning at All
Okay, this one is pretty obvious, but the biggest deep cleaning mistake you can make is to not deep clean at all! The benefits of deep cleaning are pretty obvious:
- Helps remove dander allergens, dirt and stains you can’t reach with normal vacuuming
- Keeps your carpet looking newer for longer
  We recommend deep cleaning your carpets twice a year, more if you have allergies, pets and kids, or in high-traffic areas. This will help keep the job manageable and ensure you see all of the benefits year-round.
Not Using professional carpet cleaning solutions with your rental machine
Invest in your carpet and time with the right cleaning solution. While baking soda and white vinegar are popularly used for cleaning, these should not be used with a carpet cleaning machine. We recommend sticking with professional cleaning solutions when deep cleaning your carpet. Our formulas work with the machine to deliver the best clean. In many ways, using the right cleaning formula is as important as choosing the right machine. Additionally, using the right formula will ensure you don’t damage the machine and/or your carpet. The bottom line? To maximize your results, we recommend that you use our carpet cleaning solutions. Just choose the one that is best suited to your needs.
Not Using the Machine Properly
Make sure you read and follow the instructions on the machine. Doing so will ensure you get the best clean and help avoid damage to your carpet and home.
