How often should you clean your carpets? The Ultimate Guide

You have a lovely home and wonder how often to clean the carpets. Let’s get right to it, continue reading?

If you have children or pets, then your carpets probably take a lot of abuse. Dirt and grime can be tracked in by little feet and paws. A professional cleaning is recommended every 6-12 months. You might think it’s overkill but it is worth it. Your carpet shouldn’t look like a crime-scene with all the spills, stains and dirt.

If you are flying alone or with your partner, then you can extend the timeline a little. Perhaps every 12 to 18 month will be enough. Hey, it’s life! Spills do happen! Spills happen!

Let’s take a moment to talk about allergies. Carpet cleaning is important if anyone in your family suffers from asthma or sneezes a lot. Carpets are a favorite home for dust mites. Gross, but true! Vacuum at least once or twice per week and hire a professional cleaner twice a year.

Let’s not overlook the importance of vacuuming. Vacuuming regularly can significantly extend the life of carpets. You wouldn’t miss brushing your teeth for weeks (I hope!) Why neglect your carpet then?

What about the high traffic areas? The hallways and living rooms are the most heavily used areas of your home. If they are really being abused, these areas may need some extra attention.

But wait! Consider this: DIY solutions can work just as well. Sprinkle baking soda before vacuuming to help eliminate odors. Minor stains can be removed with store bought cleaners.
