The carpet salesman told me to hold off cleaning my carpet as long as possible because it resoils quickly. Is this true?
Well… yes and no! At one time, yes, your carpet resoiled quicker after cleaning. But that was over twenty years ago! When on-location cleaning first began, shampooing was the most popular method. The shampoos left a sticky residue that caused resoiling. Just imagine if you shampooed your hair and then didn’t rinse it! But today’s equipment, especially the hot water extraction method, and the rinsing agents we use have been refined so that your carpets are left nearly residue free. Frequent cleaning actually extends the life of your carpet and is recommended by most manufacturers and the EPA.
