It’s amazing how perceptions change when we gain experience. Sitting at home with an eye on the TV, that broadcasted golf game could look simple. Of course, when you get out on the course it’s clear that golf is anything but a simple exercise.
In many ways, carpet cleaning is the same. Thousands of DIY carpet cleaners pick up a steam unit, map out the stains on their carpet, and get down to work. Unfortunately, most of them end up with the same experience as the first-time golfer.
These three DIY carpet cleaning mistakes pop up time and time again, each causing anything from minor damage to large-scale destruction. DIYers: when in doubt, get in touch with the experts for a professional carpet cleaning demonstration.
1. Flooding the carpet.
You can’t clean carpet like you would linoleum. Flooding water across your floor results in nothing but flooding, mucky carpet composition, and even more stains than you had before you started. If your cleaning efforts involve liquid, be conservative in how much you use.
2. Scratching the carpet.
Like any other textured surface, carpet is prone to damage and destruction with the wrong cleaning technique. When you’re cleaning, treat your carpet like you would a valuable piece of jewelry – touch it gently, don’t scratch it, and never use heavy-duty cleaning techniques.
3. Creating more stains.
Surprisingly, it’s not uncommon for would-be cleaners to end up with a dirtier carpet after they’ve cleaned than they had before. Before you start, check all your cleaning materials and liquids for dirt, dust, and potential stainers.
