How Often Should Homeowners Clean Their Carpets?

As a homeowner or property manager, your objective is to maintain a comfortable and healthy living environment for whoever resides in your home. A major aspect of this is ensuring that your carpets are clean! A clean carpet enhances the appeal of your space and ensures a healthy and safe environment.

Carpet cleaning often gets overlooked, as carpets can be sneaky and good at hiding dirt and grime. What’s really happening within a dirty carpet, and how often should you be cleaning it?

The Reality of Dirty Carpets

When was the last time you got your carpet professionally cleaned? Regular vacuuming can make a carpet feel clean on the surface, but just vacuuming alone unfortunately doesn’t remove the hidden dirt, bacteria, mold, and allergens that accumulate over time. These hidden contaminants can affect the health of the environment in your home and potentially pose health risks to the occupants.

How Often Should Carpets Be Professionally Cleaned? 

In a typical home, your carpets should be professionally cleaned at least once a year. Several factors might contribute to more frequent cleaning needs, such as high traffic areas where shoes are worn often, if someone in the home is immunocompromised or has asthma or allergies, or if occupants have young children that spend frequent time on the floor. Additionally, homes with pets should consider cleaning their carpets twice a year due to pet dander, extra dirt and pet accidents.

Long-Term Benefits of Cleaning Carpets:

  • Prevention of Mildew growth: Regular cleaning will prevent the buildup of moisture and organic materials that will lead to mold and mildew growth.
  • Elimination of Hard to Reach Dirt and Bacteria: Deep cleaning will remove dirt and bacteria that is not reachable by your standard vacuum.
  • Reduction of Allergens: Professional cleaning will significantly reduce allergens, such as dust, pet dander, and pollen. This will create a healthier living environment.
  • Extended Carpet Life: Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your carpet. This will save you money and keep your space looking fresh and new.
