    carpet cleaning mythsCarpet cleaning for your Chicago home or business is extremely important to maintaining its value and the cleanliness. However, there are many falsehoods that surround carpet cleaning including how often it should be done and how it should be performed. ServiceMaster Cleaning by Simons is here to debunk some of the common, and potentially damaging, myths you may have heard about carpet cleaning.

    1) “My carpet was just installed. As long as I keep up with vacuuming, that will be enough.”

    Though stains and other visible blemishes are great indicators that it’s time to get your carpets cleaned, most damage occurs on a deeper level. Microscopic dirt and dust particles sink well into the fibers of carpeting every day. In turn, this wears down the fibers and can cause fraying. Regular carpet cleaning will remove these deeply ground-in particles to ensure that you investment in flooring is a long-lasting one.

    2) “I can perform the carpet cleaning myself. I’ll rent a machine!”

    Though this is a viable option, DIY carpet cleaning just doesn’t come with the same level of professional care and application a certified company can provide. Carpet cleaning technicians, the good ones anyway, possess certification from the IICRC to guarantee they are knowledgeable in all practices and procedures.

    3) “All companies are the same. It doesn’t matter who I hire.”

    Speaking of the IICRC, you will want to seek out a company that proudly displays that their technicians are IICRC certified. The IICRC has rigorous standards when it comes to cleaning services, and certification includes a thorough education and comprehensive in-field experience. This distinction is the difference between a company that will guarantee their work and your satisfaction and those that won’t.

    Though there are many misconceptions about carpet cleaning in Chicago, quick research can easily help you make the right choice for your home of office.
