How NOT to clean carpets

A quick message to carpet cleaners out there who insist on quoting their customers for the 'basic carpet cleaning service'; Basic does not mean you miss out pre-vacuuming prior to extraction, nor does it mean you forget to pre-spray! I would call this the 'crap carpet cleaning service'.

Ofcourse all reputable carpet cleaning companies who are IICRC trained know better

Correct carpet cleaning methods are alot more involved than just setting a machine up and moving a wand!

I could not agree more! Adding water to dry soil only makes MUD.

This is one aspect of carpet cleaning which is promoted to fellow professionals on Cleantalk | Professional Cleaning Forum

However as we all know there are IICRC certified firms out there that do not follow standards. The consumer should do more research than just loog for the IICRC logo.

Not doing a pre-spray? I've had services coming to our office for years that don't use pre-spray. Ok, I'm a little ticked now. I pay top dollar for their services. I should just buy my own industrial supplies and do it myself! Expect I don't really know how.
