Professionally carpet cleaning is better for a healthy home

Most experts recommend that under normal circumstances carpet cleaning should be professionally cleaned every 6 months to 1 year. One should keep in mind that this recommendation is based only on averages and each and every situation will vary from home to home. For instance, carpets in homes with pets, numerous occupants, sensitive or allergic persons, or carpets that see heavy traffic could potentially need cleaning more often. Whereas lightly used carpets in low traffic homes may only need a good professional cleaning every other year or so. Not wearing shoes on carpet is a major benefit of bringing in more soil and grease.

Look at professionally cleaning as a preventative maintenance measure much like regularly changing the oil in your car. A responsible car owner wouldn’t necessarily wait until their vehicle’s oil is completely used up, dirty, and black before they change it. Doing such a thing will cause excessive wear and tear on the car’s engine which could very likely lead to unnecessary repairs and reduce the vehicles expected longevity. Carpet care and maintenance should be viewed in much the same way. Waiting too long before cleaning will allow excessive buildup of soils which will continually grind deeper into the carpet fibers making them harder to effectively clean and ultimately reducing your carpet’s life span. Without lifting the fiber pile allowing them to stand up straight to reflect more light, carpet stays matted and looks dull and dingy.
