From old wives’ tales to misconceptions, rug cleaning myths abound. Join us as we separate fact from fiction, dispelling common myths that have woven their way into popular belief. As experts in the field, Ben Hersh – Rug Cleaning and Repair, we’re here to provide clarity.

1. Myth: You only need to clean your rug when it looks dirty. Truth: Invisible dirt, allergens, and dust mites can accumulate in your rug over time. Regular cleaning, even when the rug looks clean, ensures a healthier living environment. At Ben Hersh, we recommend periodic cleaning to maintain not just the appearance but the health and longevity of your rug.

2. Myth: Vacuuming your rug too often will ruin it. Truth: Regular vacuuming is essential to remove dust and dirt particles that can wear down the fibers of your rug. We advise gentle and consistent vacuuming. And for a thorough, deep clean, entrust your rug to professionals like us.

3. Myth: Store-bought stain removers work on all rugs. Truth: Different rugs require different care. A product that works on one rug might damage another. That’s why we at Ben Hersh always perform a spot-test before applying any cleaning solution, ensuring the safety and integrity of your beloved rugs.

4. Myth: Rug cleaning is all about aesthetics. Truth: Beyond appearance, rug cleaning is crucial for hygiene. A clean rug means fewer allergens, pollutants, and pathogens. Our advanced cleaning techniques at Ben Hersh guarantee not just a beautiful rug, but a healthier one.

5. Myth: Any carpet cleaning company can clean rugs. Truth: Rugs are different from carpets in material, weave, and dye. They require specialized cleaning methods. Our team is specifically trained in rug cleaning and repair, offering expertise that general carpet cleaners might lack.

6. Myth: Rugs should be cleaned outside, under the sun. Truth: Sun can cause rugs to fade and can even damage delicate fibers. At Ben Hersh, we have a controlled environment to ensure optimal cleaning without compromising the rug’s quality.

7. Myth: Wet cleaning will shrink or damage my rug. Truth: If done improperly, yes. But with professionals like us, we adjust our cleaning techniques based on your rug’s specific needs. We ensure it’s cleaned, dried, and returned to you in impeccable condition.

8. Myth: All rug repairs are noticeable and ruin the rug’s aesthetic. Truth: With expert repairs, like those we offer at Ben Hersh, damages are mended seamlessly. Our skilled artisans can restore your rug’s original beauty, often making the repairs virtually invisible.

9. Myth: Rugs lose value after cleaning or repair. Truth: On the contrary, well-maintained rugs retain or even appreciate in value. Professional cleaning and repair, like that at Ben Hersh, helps safeguard your rug’s worth and prolongs its lifespan.

10. Myth: It’s more cost-effective to replace a damaged rug than to repair it. Truth: Quality rugs are investments. Often, repairing can be significantly more economical than replacing, especially with heirloom or hand-woven rugs.
