It’s everyone’s worse nightmare. You hire someone to clean your carpet, only to find your carpet cleaning shrunk. In the past, it was a common problem but hardly exist today.

Today most carpets are made of synthetic materials, reducing the risk of carpet cleaning shrinkage to almost nothing. It’s always a good idea to know your carpet type and the manufacturer’s instructions for it.

One thing that could cause minimal carpe shrinkage would be an overly wet carpet after your technician is finished cleaning. Reputable companies and carpet cleaning technicians don’t allow this to happen. Even so, it’s a good idea to check your carpet’s wetness before the tech leaves your home. Express concerns if you have them. And be sure to hire a reputable carpet cleaning company to clean your carpets.
