Carpet Problems
What happens after
the cleaning company leaves?
Carpet should look better after cleaning, not worse. If your carpet is sticky, still wet, stained again, or dull, something went wrong. Find out what before you clean it again.
Sticky
Why does my carpet feel sticky after cleaning?
Sticky carpet usually means cleaning product was left behind. Detergent residue acts as a magnet for new soil.
Still Wet
Why is my carpet still wet after cleaning?
Over-wetting, poor extraction, or high humidity can extend drying to 24 hours or more. Moisture control matters.
Stain Returned
Why did a carpet stain come back?
Wicking pulls dissolved soil from the backing up to the surface as the carpet dries. The stain was not gone. It was hiding.
Dirty Again
Why does carpet get dirty again so quickly?
Residue from cleaning products attracts new soil. If the cleaner was not removed, your carpet will resoil faster.
Brown
Why did carpet turn brown after cleaning?
Browning or wicking of tannins and cellulosic material from over-wetting. Jute backing, cotton, and wool are most susceptible.
Dull
Why does carpet look dull after cleaning?
Residue film diffracts light, making fibers appear flat and lifeless instead of clean and bright.
Odour
Why does carpet smell after cleaning?
Over-wetting creates conditions for microbial activity. If carpet stays wet too long, odor can develop underneath.
Possible Residue
Can carpet cleaning leave residue?
Yes. Depending on chemistry, concentration, fibre, and removal method, some products can leave residues that contribute to re-soiling.
Don't just clean it again.
Find out what happened.
Most re-cleaning does not fix the problem because it does not diagnose the cause. Corrective cleaning starts with inspection, identifies what went wrong, and builds a targeted treatment plan.
Something wrong with your carpet?
We diagnose first. Then treat. That is corrective cleaning.
