When Should You Have Your Carpets Cleaned?
Your carpet is one of the focal points of your home or business. It is often one of the first things that a visitor notices, and keeping it clean is certainly important. Keeping it sanitary is even more important, especially if you have young children who spend most of their time crawling and playing on your carpeted floors. How often should you clean your carpet? The answer varies depending on what type of traffic your floors receive and who is likely to be coming into contact with them regularly.Here are some tips to ensure that the focal point of your home or business stays in top shape:
Vacuum Regularly
It is important to vacuum regularly. If you have small children or pets, this can be as often as every day, but you should vacuum at least once a week. Debris and soil is deposited on your carpet each time you walk on it, especially if you wear shoes inside. When you walk, it also forces the debris into the fibers of the carpet. Vacuuming removes much of the debris and soil and keeps it from working deep into the carpet causing spots and premature carpet wear. Make sure to maintain your vacuum cleaner. Remove hair and things from the front brush and cleaning the filters regularly.
Professional Carpet Cleaning
You should have your carpet deep cleaned or professionally cleaned regularly as well. Professional carpet cleaning not only cleans the surface, it helps remove dust/dust mites, pet dander, pet stains, pollen and other allergens and bacteria. Your feet – and your children’s feet, hands, and even mouths, come into contact with the carpet. It needs to be sanitary and clean at the fiber level. A bonus is that it extends the life of your carpet and keeps it looking newer longer, saving money on premature replacement.
How Often Should You Clean Your Carpets?
Studies say, and carpet manufactures state, an adult should have deep rug cleaning done once every six to twelve months. If he is a smoker, it should be done every six to nine months to eliminate the odor and toxins that build up. If you have small children, professional carpet cleaning is recommended every six to nine months or so. If you add pets to the mix, it is best to clean them every three to six months.
