Whether or not your carpets will shrink after being professionally cleaned depends on a few factors, such as the type of carpet fiber and the cleaning method used.

Some carpet fibers, such as wool, are more prone to shrinkage than others. If your carpets are made of wool or a blend containing wool, it is important to make sure that the cleaning process is done carefully and correctly to avoid any potential shrinkage.

In addition, the cleaning method used can also affect whether or not your carpets shrink. Hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, is a commonly used method that involves using hot water and a cleaning solution to deep clean carpets. If not done properly, this method can cause some carpets to shrink, especially if the water is too hot or if too much water is used.

However, a reputable and experienced professional carpet cleaner will take precautions to avoid shrinkage, such as using appropriate cleaning solutions and equipment, adjusting the water temperature, and carefully monitoring the moisture levels during and after the cleaning process.

To reduce the risk of shrinkage, it is important to communicate with your carpet cleaner beforehand and let them know if you have any concerns about shrinkage. They can then use appropriate cleaning methods and take the necessary steps to minimize any potential shrinkage.

Overall, if you choose a professional carpet cleaner who is experienced and knowledgeable, and if you communicate any concerns you may have about shrinkage, the risk of your carpets shrinking after being professionally cleaned should be minimal.

This often happens when there is cleaning chemical residue left within the carpet after it has been cleaned.

A DIY carpet cleaning machine is a good example how this often happens. Cleaning chemicals and water mixed into one tank, machine is ran over the carpet to remove the dirt. The downside to this is a residue of the cleaning solution will dry within the carpet fibres, this will attract dirt and thus carpets will look dirty quicker.

A professional carpet cleaner will first apply there cleaning agent, brush that into the fibres then fully flush it out with just water or specific rinse agents, no residue remaining means carpets stay cleaner for longer.

The time it takes to clean the carpets in your house can vary depending on several factors, such as the size of your house, the number of rooms that need to be cleaned, the level of soiling, and the cleaning method used.
