Is it true that hot water extraction (steam) cleaning will damage my carpet?

No! In fact, hot water extraction is the preferred method of cleaning by Shaw Industries and many other leading carpet manufacturers. It is considered to be the BEST method for removing embedded soils and contaminants and the ONLY method effective for the removal of dust mites and dust mite eggs.

How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?

As a general rule, most carpet manufacturers recommend every 6 months or a minimum of every 12 months. For Healthy Inside Air Quality, the EPA has a Cleaning Guideline with recommended cleaning frequencies for residential and commercial carpets.

How long do I have to wait to walk on my carpet after you get done cleaning it?

Depending on what type of carpet you have, the time of year, the amount of humidity in the air and whether you have fans circulating air the normal time it takes a carpet to dry will be between 2 and 8 hours. It does not hurt to walk on the carpet immediately after it is cleaned but you must remember that a wet carpet will resoil more easily and we also recommend you keep children and pets off carpets that have been antimicrobial treated until the carpet is dry.

Will hot water extraction cleaning remove my carpet protectant?

No. The cleaning process itself does not remove the carpet protectant but foot traffic will wear the protectant off after a period of time. It is usually recommended that you reapply a carpet protectant every 2 to 3 cleanings if you clean your carpets regularly. We use DuPont Teflon Advanced Carpet and Upholstery Protectant which is well known for it's ability to prevent stains from becoming permanent and for keeping your carpets cleaner longer.

Is it possible for me to over-clean my carpets by havingthem cleaned too often?

No. As a matter of fact, the more a carpet is cleaned, the longer it will keep it's original shape and luster. Frequent cleaning reduces the abrasive effects of soil and fiber discoloration due to oily deposits. It also helps to control dust mites.

I cleaned my carpet but I have some stains that keep coming back. Is my carpet ruined?

Not necessarily. Most recurring stains are a result of detergent residues left behind because the spot remover used was not thoroughly rinsed from the carpet. Try applying warm water and blot with a white paper towel or terry cloth until all sudsing has stopped.
