How do you keep your carpet fluffy after carpet shampooing?
I just moved into my house almost a year ago and my carpet is still brand new,but still needed to be cleaned. After shampooing my carpet was flat and no longer fluffy…how do I fix this please?
By the way I’ve used professional carpet cleaning service in the past and the same thing happened a long time ago. Thanks in advance.

If you have residual soap left in the carpet, the fibers will look and feel stiff and flat. The best way to fix this is to steam clean it again with no soap (just water) in the machine to pull up the residual soap.
Another potential cause is if you live in an area with hard water, the minerals may get transferred from the water to the carpet. If this is the case, then you need to use filtered water in the machine.

I agree with the first answer sometimes shampoo residue will make the carpet flat. My grandfather installed carpet for many years and said do not use too much shampoo. In fact one professional carpet cleaner in my town uses dry cleaning method for carpet that uses no shampoo.
