Ah, carpets. We walk on them with shoes, spill our coffee, and let our pets do… pet things. And unless we’re vacuuming once a blue moon, we don’t really think too much about them. Yet, when it comes to spotless carpet, some myths deserve a good old-fashioned debunking, and our local experts are here to spill the beans.

One common myth that everyone and their aunt believes: frequent cleaning will make your carpets wear out faster. Oh, where did this woolly tale originate? If that were true, wouldn’t we all be tiptoeing on mud by now because we’ve vacuumed? Regular cleaning actually prolongs your carpet’s lifespan. Dust and dirt are like uninvited guests overstaying their welcome, wearing down carpet fibers over time.

Now, let’s tackle another towering fib. “Stain-resistant carpets don’t need cleaning”. That’s one rich, chocolatey lie. Yes, those spill-proof carpets can fend off stains for a while, but expect them to eventually surrender to ground-in dirt if ignored. They need love—or a cleaning—now and then.

For all the eco-warriors clinging onto this belief: vinegar and baking soda are NOT always the holy grail of cleaning. Sure, they’re great at giving your sink a bubbly spa day, but carpets are a different ball game. While they can handle some mild spills, for serious stains, they can wave a white flag.

Then there’s the classic guesswork: all carpet cleaning methods are interchangeable. Sorry, but nope. This one hits home with the precision of a dad joke—off mark. There’s hot water extraction, dry cleaning, foam encapsulation. Consult a professional unless you fancy transforming your shag pile into an avant-garde art piece.

Finally, yawn at the myth that new carpets don’t need cleaning. Ah, the ‘new car smell’ of carpets. These fluffy floor layers often house lurking chemicals from manufacturing. So, a good clean can make your space a real breath of fresh air.
