A myth that has been perpetuated (even by some otherwise bright people) is that you should wait as long as possible before giving your carpets their first cleaning. People think this because there are so many carpet cleaners out their using weak equipment and lots of detergent that gets left on their carpet. It has a sticky quality and attracts dirt causing it to rapidly re-soil.
Through educational advertising you have been taught that dirty oil in your car wears on engines parts, and that regular oil changes greatly extends the life of your car. A lesser known fact is that the same is true with your carpet! Dirt is abrasive and scratches the smooth fibers of you carpet. I will spare you the tech talk, but scientists will tell you that the longer you leave two things together (stains & and carpet fibers) the harder they are to separate.
Shaws the countries largest manufacturer of carpet recommends powerful truckmounted (the large unit in the truck, where only the hoses come in your home) carpet cleaning. It makes sense because this is the only method that deep cleans, removing abrasive dirt from your carpet and when done properly rinses out the detergent as well. This will extend the life of your carpet and make for a healthy environment in your home.
