What You Need to Understand

It takes time and devotion to become certified in carpet cleaning. As with everything it is one thing to learn how to do something correctly and another thing to practice what you have learned.

Two important steps that are commonly skipped by carpet cleaners in the carpet cleaning industry, which are taught in all IICRC Carpet Cleaning Tech certification classes, is vacuuming and proper rinsing of carpet.

Up to 80% of the soil is located in the lower two thirds of the carpet. Actually, if the carpet is cleaned with out being properly vacuumed first the soil in the lower part of the carpet turns into mud.

Another important part of carpet cleaning is to neutralize the detergent used to clean the carpet. If the carpet is rinsed with detergent and not a neutralizing rinse the carpet will become crunchy and sticky not soft and soil repelling.
