Potential Problems Caused by Improper Carpet Cleaning:

Overwetting of the carpet can be caused by poorly adjusted hot water extraction equipment, by passing over areas too many times with hot water extraction experiment/ shampoo, by too much shampoo and by spillage.Overwetting can cause a number of problems:
  • If water seeps into backing, it might cause separation of secondary background
  • Moisture may cause backing to shrink and tear seams and  may dissolve cellulose and cause it to wick to the surface causing brown stains
  • Overwetting can also cause bleaching of dyes
  • Prolonged exposure to moisture may cause mildew
  • Wooden floor may suffer warpage if seepage extends to them
Allowing rust or wood-stain by replacing furniture without putting down foil or leg covers
Use of excessively alkaline solution

Some other problems that can occur while cleaning carpets are:

Brushing improperly
Using chemicals that leave residue
Using chemicals that cause allergic reactions or are poisonous
Using chemicals that harm colors in oriental rugs
Using wrong dilution ratio
Unrequired add-ons
