Can some carpet cleaning methods actually hurt my carpets?

carpet cleaning is safe and effective. But the wrong method—or the wrong hands—can do more harm than good.

Dry powder cleaning often uses strong chemical solvents combined with ground corn cob. These materials can build up in your carpet over time, leading to premature wear and tear.

Carbonated chemical cleaning, also known as spin-bonnet, relies on an abrasive spinning pad. If misused, this method can cause fibers to untwist and seams to separate. Since there is no vacuum extraction involved, a significant amount of chemical residue can be left behind in the carpet.

Choosing a certified professional with the right equipment ensures your carpets are cleaned thoroughly, safely, and without unnecessary damage.

Does American Hometown Services use excessive amounts of chemical to clean my carpet?

At American Hometown Services, we rely on the natural power of hot water and professional-grade vacuum extraction to clean your carpets thoroughly. This approach minimizes the need for excessive chemicals, solvents, or carbonation used in other methods.

Our process leaves behind minimal residue, reducing the risk of premature wear, airborne contaminants, and rapid re-soiling. The result is a cleaner carpet and a healthier space—without the harsh chemical buildup.

Will my carpets stay cleaner longer after it is cleaned?

Unlike other methods that can leave behind residue and attract new soil, the American Hometown Services cleaning process leaves your carpets looking, smelling, and feeling fresh—often even better than brand new.

Our method not only enhances the appearance of your carpet but also extends its life and supports a cleaner, healthier environment for your home or business.
