Many of our customers ask how often should they professionally clean their carpets.
Many people don't call their carpet cleaning company until they start seeing visibly dirty spots; however, things that you don't see in your carpet can wear it even faster then a visible spot. For example:
If that isn't gross enough, the sand that gets buried deep in your carpet, wears the fibers like sand paper. Every time you walk on it, it sands away at the fibers. This is one of the biggest reason why carpet looks worn out and people end up having to replace their carpet's way sooner then they have to. Carpet replacement is one of the biggest expenses a homeowner makes. A regular professional carpet cleaning can extend the life of your carpet by several years.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends deep cleaning your carpets every six months. Also, carpet manufacturers recommend regularly vacuuming your carpet (2-3 times a week).
If you have kids and/or pets, regular cleanings are even more important. Kids and pets bring in more dirt, and they also are more likely to come in contact with the carpet itself, which can expose them to allergens or other bacteria.
Many people don't call their carpet cleaning company until they start seeing visibly dirty spots; however, things that you don't see in your carpet can wear it even faster then a visible spot. For example:
- A carpet that looks clean can hide more then a pound of dirt and sand, per square yard!
- Thousands of dust mites can live on one ounce of carpet dust.
- Many common allergens can bury themselves in your carpets.
