5 COMMON CARPET MYTHS

MYTH #1
carpet cleaning shrinks carpet
When carpets were made of lots of natural fibers, shrinking was a major concern. Today most carpets are made of synthetic materials, reducing the risk of shrinking to almost nothing. It's always a good idea to know your carpet type and the manufacturer's instructions for it. One thing that could cause shrinkage would be an overly wet carpet after your technician is finished cleaning. Reputable companies and technicians don't allow this to happen.(By us useing the Rotovac here at God's way cleaning, we get the carpet 20-50% dryer than other companies that use hot water extraction) Even so, it's a good idea to check your carpet's wetness before the tech leaves your home. Express concerns if you have them. And be sure to hire a reputable company to clean your carpets. Bottom Line: For most carpets, the risk of shrinking is almost nothing. Hiring a reputable company makes all the difference in your satisfaction.

MYTH #2 once you clean a carpet, it gets dirtier faster We deal with mostly synthetic fibers in carpet and repeated professional cleaning does not make it attract soil.The primary reason a carpet resoils more rapidly is that leftover cleaning residues attract soil from our shoes. You have several carpet cleaning methods to choose from: Bonnet, Dry Foam, Dry Compound and Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning). Most carpet cleaning systems are considered interim maintenance cleaning systems however, other systems, such as the Rotovac & Rotovac360 are regarded as restorative by the industry.Only hot water extraction (stem cleaning) can employ a rinse step to leave your carpets as residue free as possible.(We use the Rotovac carpet restoration powerwand because with SIX vacuum slots and SIX spray jets that rotate at 250 rpm too produce 1500 multi-directional cleaning passes per minute leftover residue is virtually non-exsistant!) Try doing that with a manual wand!

MYTH #3
All a company needs to clean carpets correctly is the right equipment Many cleaning companies own professional carpet cleaning equipment, however, the technicians are not professionally trained on the proper ways to use the equipment. Make sure the cleaning company you choose has technicians who are trained by certified carpet instructors. (God's way cleaning is proud to be I.I.C.R.Certified! Trained by the Institute of Inspection,Cleaning&Restoration! They set the standards companies are supposed to adhear to,sad to say MOST companies don't, but proudly WE DO!)

MYTH #4 YOU SHOULD HOLD OFF CLEANING YOUR CARPET AS LONG AS POSSIBLE Dirt is like sandpaper. It damages your carpet. The more often you have your carpets cleaned, the longer they will last. Industry standards recommend that you clean your carpets every 6 to 12 months, depending on your lifestyle.

MYTH #5     All carpet cleaning companies are the same, hire the cheapest one      Some companies quote a low price in an ad or over the phone to persuade you to use their service, but then they add on services you thought were included in the price.(usually after they've done the work)This is commonally known as BAIT & SWITCH. It's like being quoted a sale price on a new car and after you sign on the dotted line they charge you extra for the keys!! See video below!! (God's Way cleaning may not ALWAYS be the cheapest but it's hard to beat $20 an area honestly because what we quote you pay. Also, all new clients recieve one room free with their first cleaning)

WHY GET YOUR CARPETS CLEANED ANYWAY?

Although regular vacuuming can remove dry soil and debris from your carpeting, it leaves behind oily soils and particles that are produced from cooking vapors, pets, and dirt tracked in from outside the home.

These oily contaminants that are left behind can cause your carpet to dull and fade. As the contaminants build up they become more difficult to remove. Regular deep cleaning of the carpet can prevent the excessive build up of contaminants and keep your carpets looking fresh and clean.

Regular cleaning of your carpets also helps improve the air quality in your home by removing pet hair, dust mites, and other allergens that thrive deep in the carpet.

What can you do to prepare for your carpet cleaning:

Move small items and breakables from the area to be cleaned.
Get ready to be amazed by the Rotovac.

What you can expect your cleaning technician to do:

Pre-inspection: We will evaluate your carpet's needs. Every carpet must be treated differently. We will decide what will be the best method for cleaning your carpet. You will know up front what we can and can't do. This way there are no surprises.

Moving Furniture: When necessary we will move and replace small furniture in its original position.

Pre-treatment: We treat spots and stains as necessary and apply a cleaning solution to the entire carpet.

Cleaning: We use our state-of-the-art Rotovac equipment for a fast and thorough deep cleaning of your carpet.

Post-inspection: Once the project is completed, we re-inspect the carpet with you to ensure that all the work was done to your satisfaction.

Protect & Groom: When necessary we will place blocks or foil under furniture legs to protect them during the drying process and groom the carpet for a clean inviting look.

What you should do after the carpet cleaning:
To decrease drying time try to keep the room temperature about 72 degrees and use fans to circulate the air around.
