How to tell if a cleaner is doing it correctly
Here are real-world signs of a proper professional clean:
✅ Good signs
Carpet dries within 6–12 hours
Fibers feel soft, not crunchy
No strong lingering scent
Carpet stays cleaner for months
No sticky feeling when you rub your hand on it
🚩 Red flags
Carpet feels stiff or crunchy after drying
Strong perfume smell days later
Dark traffic areas reappear quickly
Carpet looks worse after a few weeks than before
If you notice those red flags, residue was likely left behind.
