Bill Yeadon, IICRC –approved instructor If people do have reactions to the chemicals used in carpet cleaning’ part of the reason may be that customers let their carpets get too dirty before cleaning them. This causes the carpet cleaner to have to use more chemistry when he cleans the carpet’ Yeadon says, but this could easily be avoided. The rule of thumb’ he states, is that if a carpet looks dirty, then it is probably very filthy! If the average consumer would just religiously vacuum their carpets and then take some very simple precautions with spotting, then the chemistry level of the next cleaning would be lower!
IF it looks dirty, it’s filthy
