Eight Common Cleaning Mistakes that Can Kill the Life of Your Carpet

Have you ever cleaned up a stain only to have it reappear the next day? If your answer is “yes,” then you didn’t remove it all the way. But don’t feel bad, this happens to millions of homeowners each year too: Simply because they don’t have the knowledge of a professional carpet cleaner. The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) has identified eight common carpet cleaning mistakes to help you extend the life of your carpet.

“There are many common mistakes homeowners make when performing do-it-yourself carpet cleaning,” said IICRC chairman Tony Wheelwright. “From reappearing stains to carpet odors, it’s important to be knowledgeable when caring for and maintaining your carpet.”
