There is no hard steadfast rule for how often you should have your residential carpets cleaned. Having your carpet cleaned regularly will protect your carpets color from becoming dull and reduce the amount of wear your carpet sustains, thus extending the life of your carpet.

 

Your carpet is good at hiding dust, dirt, and other soils. When your carpet color starts to dull or show soiling it is actually nearly saturated with soils, body oils, dirt and dust. Having your carpet cleaned before it becomes an eye sore will yield better results and prolong your carpets life. Having your carpet cleaned prolongs its life through removing the soils which, when walked on, grind and scuff your carpet fibers.

 

How Often Should I Clean My Carpets?

 

If you happen to live in a home with kids, pets and smokers it is recommended that you have the carpets cleaned at least once a year preferably twice a year, assuming that the grade of carpet can withstand such frequency. You may be able to clean them less frequently if you have more hard surfaced floors than carpets, taking the brunt of traffic and usage.

 

There is no simple answer when it comes to determining how often your carpets should be cleaned, but there are a few factors that impact how often carpet cleaning needs to be done. As a general rule of thumb, your carpets should be cleaned every 12 – 18 months, whether your carpet looks dirty or not. This is what is recommended by most carpet manufacturers. There also might be some circumstances in which you might have it done more often.
