Q. Can my carpet shrink when cleaned?
A. Shrinkage can only occur if the backing of the carpet is wetted. The Hot Water Extraction recovers most of the moisture as it is laid down by the jets thus preventing any possibility of overwetting. If the carpet has unstable fittings and a risk of shrinkage is likely, or if the carpet is a type susceptible to shrinkage when wet cleaned, this will be advised prior to cleaning to ensure the most appropriate cleaning method is used.
