Carpet Cleaning Myths, and What's True

The biggest myth is that every stain comes out. Some marks are damage, like bleach spots or worn fibers. Another is that cleaning ruins carpet. Done right, regular cleaning is part of the care most carpet makers recommend.

Myth: every stain comes out

Some marks aren't stains at all. Bleach spots, dye transfer, burns and worn fibers are damage. A good cleaner tells you that before starting.

Myth: cleaning makes carpet get dirty faster

Leftover soap can make carpet grab dirt, and too much water can pull old stains back up. Both come down to how the job is done. We go light on water, and our cleaner dries crisp and vacuums up, so less soap stays behind.

Myth: a certification covers everything

OxyMagic holds Green Seal and EPA Safer Choice certifications. A certification is about the product. Ask any cleaner what it covers, and ask for the record.

Questions

Can every stain be removed?

No. Age, what caused it, the fiber and what's been tried on it all matter. Some marks are permanent.

Does professional cleaning wear out carpet?

No. Grit left in the pile is what wears carpet out. Carpet makers recommend regular professional cleaning.
