Consumer Education Guide to Carpet Cleaning Misconception #1: Misconception #2: Some people believe that "Steam Cleaning" is the best way to clean carpet. Consider, however, what happens if your carpet gets too wet. Sometimes, because of the type of soil or due to technician error,the carpet gets too wet. While cleaning solution is sprayed into the carpet it is usually immediately sucked out along with the soil. However, cleaning solution emulsifies in just 1/2 a second, and if this is not properly rinsed out the chemical residue left behind can in fact attract soil and cause your carpet to get dirty faster than before.Actually to be done correctly this system should be used in conjunction with shampooing. After vacuuming the carpet it should then be shampooed. Then the extractor("Steam Cleaning Machine") should be used with clean fresh hot water to rinse the carpet of the residue from the shampoo. Most "Steam Cleaning" companies don't do all of these steps because they are labor intensive and not cost effective This is a superior way to get your carpets clean without too much moisture. This is The system my company uses. You can actually have your carpets cleaned this afternoon and have a dinner party tonight with Clean, Bright, Sanitized, and DRY carpet.
"Hey Bruno what Heidi" I'm bored why don't we give John another mess to clean up when he get's back! Misconception #4; If you're thinking about having your carpets cleaned, I offer these two recommendations: By following these two recommendations, you'll gain all the information you need to make an informed, intelligent decision.

As a matter of fact, add this question to the list.
My name is John Pieczykowski, and I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit my website to learn about superior carpet care methods. I’m the owner of JnJ Carpet Cleaning Plus. I have been in the carpet, upholstery and floor cleaning business for 15 years, and in that time I've learned that carpet cleaning is the subject of much confusion. In fact, people have so many misconceptions about carpet cleaning that I decided to offer this consumer education guide to help you can make an informed intelligent decision when selecting a carpet cleaning company. In just a moment, I'll share with you four costly misconceptions about carpet cleaning; I'll offer two recommendations when choosing a carpet cleaning company.
You should wait as long as possible before cleaning your carpet.
No. Dirt is an abrasive - like sandpaper. Every time you step on the carpet, you grind dirt into your carpet fibers.
This cuts your carpet, just as if you had used a knife, causing it to wear out faster. A dirty carpet will not last nearly as long as a clean carpet. And while vacuuming helps - by itself, it's simply not enough.
The only reason to clean carpets is to get out the dirt.
No. As you probably know, outdoor air contains; pollens, fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust, and hundreds of other chemicals. When you and your family members come into your home, you carry those pollens, bacteria and chemicals in your hair, on your skin, clothing, and shoes. Not surprisingly, all those chemicals, pollens and bacteria wind up (you guessed it!) in your carpet!So in addition to getting rid of dirt, another important reason to clean your carpet is to get rid of pollens, fungus, bacteria, chemicals, and the tars and residue from tobacco smoke.
Misconception #3:
One method of carpet cleaning is as good as another.
No. You can choose from two primary methods: Dry cleaning or hot water extraction. First I'll explain the carpet cleaning method called hot water extraction. This is a fancy way of saying that a hot water cleaning solution under high pressure is forced into the carpet and then sucked out of the carpet. This method is also referred to as steam cleaning even though steam is not used.
This can cause the following problems:
Excessive drying times - which can lead to microbial growth including mold and mildew. Which can lead to:
The Padding method
Uses cotton terry cloth pads to absorb the dirt in the carpet into the pad. A special dirt emulsifying cleaner is sprayed on the carpet. After a couple of minutes a machine called an oscillator, using one of these pads, is moved over the carpet. The dirt is absorbed into the pad. When the pad gets dirty it is replaced with a clean one. This process is repeated until the carpet is clean.
After the carpet is clean it is vacuumed with a powerful commercial sweeper to remove the particles dislodged by the oscillator.
Having the right equipment is all a company needs to clean your carpets properly.Not true. Many companies own hot water cleaners or dry cleaning equipment - but a large number of employees don't know how to use them. You probably know someone who bought the newest computer on the market -- but didn't learn how to use it for a year or more. The same is true with carpet cleaning machines. The company may own good equipment, but the employees may not know how to use it correctly. This is why it's important that you choose your carpet cleaner carefully.
I have been trained by the best low moisture carpet cleaning company in the business.
Recommendation #1:
Make a commitment to yourself to get your carpets cleaned. The longer they remain dirty, the sooner they'll wear out, and the longer you will have to breathe all the pollens, fungus, chemicals and dust mites that live in your carpet.
Recommendation #2:
Once you're satisfied that you're working with an honest, competent professional, invite him into your home and ask for a specific quotation in writing. A written quotation gives you the assurance that you know exactly what your job will cost - no surprises.

I'll be happy to answer your questions - provide you a cost estimate over the telephone --or come into your Home/Business and give you a free written quotation - without obligation of any kind.
Here's one last point:
I know that many consumers are skeptical about carpet cleaning companies. Before I got into the business, I was skeptical too. So in addition to dedicating my business to consumer education, I do one more thing as well.
I guarantee my work. That's right. I fully guarantee every cleaning job I do. If you aren't happy with my work, I will re-clean the area for free. And if you still aren't pleased, you pay nothing. Not one cent.
Is "Do you guarantee your work?" Not all companies do - and it's important that you have this information before you make your decision.
