Can some carpet cleaning methods actually hurt my carpet?
The cleaning technician doing the work is the key to safe and effective cleaning. Dry powder cleaning can use harsh chemical solvents mixed with gritty products that can build up in your carpet causing excessive soiling and even pollution. Carbonated chemical dry cleaning with a bonnet uses an abrasive spinning pad that can cause carpets to lose their texture and appearance. Dry foam cleaning uses optical brighteners to “hide”, not remove soil, leaving a chemical residue. Rapid re-soiling and an unhealthy environment can result from high residues with these methods.
