Carpets offer a lush comfortable surface for any room in your house. As warm and cozy as carpeting can be, it must be cared for properly to remain in good shape and to eliminate allergens. While vacuuming is critical, sometimes your rugs need more than a regular cleaning. So, how often should deep cleaning occur and when are the professionals needed?

How Often Should Carpets Be Deep Cleaned

Steam Cleaning

Most manufacturers recommend professional steam cleaning for carpets and rugs. Steam cleaning gets deep into the fibers, loosening and lifting out debris and pollutants. It also removes most moisture so drying is quick and easy, reducing the risk of allergens or mildew setting in. While there are at-home steam cleaners that you can use, carpet professionals advise that these pre-packaged solutions can actually make dirt stick to your carpet more easily, and that these at-home units can quickly over-saturate your carpet. 

Regular Cleaning Schedule

carpetVacuuming should be done slowly and carefully at least twice a week for regular maintenance and to remove surface particles and dirt. High traffic areas should be cleaned more often to take care of dirt tracked in from shoes and pets.

To extend the life of your carpeting, call in the professionals annually to give your home a deep clean. Even if you choose to do your own steam cleaning every few months, a professional cleaning service has the tools and expertise to ensure your home is purged of mud, mildew, and grime, eliminating health risks and keeping your home’s air quality in top shape.

If you have children or pets, however, you should consider more frequent cleaning services every six months. Not only do kids and animals tend to track in more grime and cause staining, they are also more likely to play on carpets, breathing in allergens, dust, and dirt imbedded in the layers.
