In order to maximize the longevity of your carpet’s lifespan, it is important to get your carpets cleaned on a regular basis. Over the course of time, dirt, debris, hair, and more can get stuck and buried deep down in the fibers of your carpet. This can cause not only discoloration, but can cause your carpet to become a breeding ground for bacteria. Even if you take the necessary precautions to prevent outside dirt and grime from coming in your home, carpets can still gather dust and bacteria from inside. For this reason, it is important to have your carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis. But one might ask, “how often should I get my carpets cleaned?” Here at Clean Earth Restorations, we’re here to give you the information you need to increase the longevity of your carpet’s lifespan, and to help keep your home clean and healthy.
How dirty are your carpets, really?
First, let’s go over different levels of carpet contamination. The biggest factor in retaining the quality of your carpet depends on how frequently the carpet is used. Consequently, this correlates to the soil level of your carpet. Simply put, the more you use your carpet, the dirtier it will get. For example, carpeted areas near doors that lead outside are likely to get dirtier much quicker than carpeted areas in a bedroom or hallway.
With that being said, routine maintenance is essential to maintain the health of your carpet. Routine carpet maintenance mainly consists of vacuuming and spot-cleaning after a spill. For low soil areas, such as a guest room, it is best to vacuum at least once a week. For medium soil areas, such as bedrooms and the dining room, it is best to vacuum once to twice per week. For high soil areas that experience high traffic, such as hallways or near entrances that lead outside, it is important to vacuum at least twice a week. Best results will be attained if these high-traffic areas are vacuumed on a daily basis.
While vacuuming may not be the most fun task to do, it is one of the best and most responsible things you can do to keep your carpets looking, smelling, and feeling healthy. For any spills, we recommend spot cleaning as soon as the spill is noticed, and not waiting until later. The longer a liquid sits in the carpet’s fibers, the harder it will be to remove.
Professional Cleaning
While vacuuming is an effective way to increase a carpet’s lifespan, it is still important to have your carpets professionally cleaned to ensure the longevity of your carpet. It is best to leave these cleanings to the professionals, and to call your local carpet cleaning or restorations company. Here at Clean Earth Restorations, our carpet professionals take the utmost care to guarantee that your carpets will be looking, feeling, and smelling clean and healthy after every cleaning. Similarly to vacuuming, the frequency of how often to get your carpets professionally cleaned correlates to the level of traffic and soil contamination. For low soil areas, it is best to get your carpets professionally cleaned at least once every two years, or as per the manufacturer’s warranty states. For medium soil areas, you’ll want to get a professional cleaning at least once a year. And for areas that experience the most traffic and the most soil contamination, it is best to get your carpets professionally cleaned one to two times per year. And as always, if your carpets experience an intense spill or become stained, it is best to leave the deep cleaning to the right people, and to call your local carpet cleaning and restorations company.
