How Frequently Should a Carpet Be Professionally Cleaned of Stains?
-
Consider Amount of Traffic
-
The base recommendation for frequency of professional carpet cleaning is once a year. However, in areas with high amounts of traffic, such as large families and multiple pets, it is recommended that professional cleaning be done up to four times a year.
-
Consider Health Issues
-
In families with health issues such as allergies, professional carpet cleaning should be done more often, to reduce the amount of allergens in the carpets, and thus in the air.
Bottom Line
-
Clean your carpets between one and four times per year, depending on the amount of traffic they receive.
