Business owners need to consider how they will keep their business clean. Compared to a homeowner, a business owner has significantly more foot traffic on their property which can lead to a lot of dirt, debris, and messes on their carpets. Having a routine cleaning schedule can go a long way in not only improving the appearance of your business but also in protecting your carpets and property long term. Messes can cause issues with air quality, lead to mold growth, or other issues. But one common question we hear is whether or not carpet cleaning formulas and machines can damage your carpets. The simple answer is yes, if you use the wrong machine, the wrong formula, or the wrong technique, you can damage your carpets to the point where they will need to be replaced. That is why it is important for businesses to not only choose the right equipment but also make sure they are following the instructions for that equipment. In this article, we will cover the basics of preventing carpet damage when cleaning carpets.

Avoid Scrubbing Stains In Carpets, Use An Extractor
One of the ways you can damage your carpets is by incorrectly scrubbing them. Sometimes the initial reaction to seeing a spill is to try and vigorously scrub the carpets. This can actually push the stain deeper into the carpet and rip the carpet fibers. For stains and spots, an extractor is often the most effective cleaning solution.
Extractors work by using a combination of pressure and suction to remove the stain from the carpet. So instead of pushing the debris deeper into the carpet, it is quite literally lifted off the carpet into the extractor’s dirty water tank. This helps both remove stains while also decreasing the risk of damage to your carpet’s fibers.
Choose The Right Equipment For Your Floors And Carpets
The first and most common mistake made when cleaning carpets is using a machine that is not designed for carpets. Some machines are designed to only be used on hard surface floors. Some machines are designed for threadbare carpets. It is vital to make sure that you buy equipment that is designed to be used for your floors and carpets.
Choose The Right Cleaning Formula For Your Carpets
When cleaning your carpets you will likely need to use a cleaning formula. Like with equipment, it is important to read the instructions of your cleaning formula and make sure that the formula you have selected is actually designed for the type of carpet you are cleaning. Similarly, it is important to make sure you follow the instructions on the bottle carefully. Some commercial cleaning solutions need to be mixed with water to dilute them. Always make sure you are reading the instructions and following them correctly.
