Part 3 of our MythBusters series: Myth 3: If it smells clean, it is clean Reality: Fragrance is not cleanliness.Covering odor doesn’t remove the source. Pet dander, body oils, food residues, and the fine soil you don’t see must be physically removed. I am not a fan of blasting deodorizer at the end. When deodorizers are needed, professionals apply them thoughtfully at the beginning and rinse them, rather than misting them like perfume. To put it plainly: Cleaning removes source materials; scent masks them.

8 Carpet Cleaning Myths Busted:
Myth 1: Does cleaning make carpet get dirty faster?
Nobad cleaning does.Proper cleaning does the opposite. Has the technicianbeen certified and properly educated? Rapid re-soiling usually traces back to residue, such as improper detergents, poor dilution, weak rinse, or equipment that leaves carpet wet. “low qualitycleaning” leaves sticky films that grab soil, Tole said. Modern chemistry and correct rinse steps remove soil and residue, keeping the fiber cleaner, longer.
