Carpets need to be cleaned regularly. However, precisely what does that mean? The number of times carpets should be cleaned would be dependent on how much traffic it faces, the color and type of carpet, if there are pets in the home if there are kids in the house, etc. Once you take all of these factors into consideration, you’d know how often you need to clean your carpets. We will now deep dive into these factors and what they mean for your carpets.
Vacuuming
Now, besides getting your carpets professionally cleaned, you need to clean them on your own using a vacuum. If you have a hectic and high-traffic home, you should vacuum your carpets twice per week. However, if you have kids or pets, you should vacuum every day to ensure your carpets are clean.
Professional Cleaning
When professionally cleaning your carpets, you also need to consider the factors above. For example, if you have pets, you need to get your carpets professionally cleaned every 3 to 6 months. If you have kids, consider professionally cleaning them every 6 to 12 months. In a home that doesn’t have kids or pets and the carpets only face light traffic, getting them cleaned once per year is exemplary. If the carpets face heavier traffic or are a light color, they should be cleaned every six months.
Kids & Pets
As you can see, the major factors that indicate you need to have your carpets cleaned more often are kids and pets. This is because both kids and pets are naturally messy by nature and likely won’t follow your home’s hygiene protocols strictly. Most kids walk through their homes with their shoes on, spill their food drinks, and even track in dirt from outside. Also, once you have kids, they likely have their friends over, bringing in even more dirt. Pets are also quite messy and can track mud and food onto your carpets. You’ll have to consider pet messes if they aren’t potty trained. Even if your pet is potty trained, there are sure to be mistaken.
