“Not having your carpets vacuumed and cleaned professionally wears down its life faster. A common myth is that you should not be cleaning your carpets earlier in its life.

Pieces of carpet get worn down by dirt and debris. When you are walking on carpet with dirt underneath, those spots rub on debris and get worn down.

The other myth is if you clean it more often it will get dirtier faster. That may be the case if you are cleaning with soaps and detergents which are hard to remove.”

Using soap to clean carpets may make them appear cleaner in the beginning, but those harsh chemicals will eventually cause damage. Any professional carpet cleaning should involve a method called hot water extraction. During this process, no soaps or detergents are used but will adequately remove dirt and other debris.

At Bauer Restoration, our technicians follow the procedures of the IICRC which is the approved method of cleaning by all carpet manufacturers. When complete, your carpets will have a vibrant look and softer feel. Call us at 507-333-9838 or visit our carpet cleaning page for more information.
