When was the last time you had your carpets professionally steam cleaned?
If you’re reading that question and thinking, “I’ve actually never had my carpets professionally steam cleaned”, or, “I can’t exactly remember how long ago they were done”, then this is probably a good sign that they’re overdue.
Before racking your brain in thinking how long it’s been since your last clean, let’s first look at how often someone should get their carpets professionally cleaned.
How often should your carpets be professionally steam cleaned?
Typically speaking, we would generally recommend to clients to get their carpets professionally steam cleaned at least once a year (usually every 6-months would be ideal though). The reason being is that after several months go by after a professional steam clean, our carpets begin to develop unwanted changes that happens all the time: they develop bacteria between the carpet fibres, funny odours appear, discolouration happens due to foot traffic, pet dander is everywhere and stains will also start to happen.
What affects the time period between cleans?
Now then, depending on your home and how busy it is, you may find you need your carpets cleaned less frequently. Some of the most common factors that help dictate time between professional cleans are as follows:
- Number of people living in your home
- If you have pets
- High foot traffic areas
- If stains occur often
- Frequency of having wet carpets (e.g. if people go from the shower to the bedroom with wet feet)
In addition to the above list, another important factor that helps to decide on how regularly you should get your carpets professionally cleaned is how frequently you vacuum your carpets. Although vacuuming is only good for picking up superficial particles on the carpet, it’s still a very important chore to do on a regular basis as it’ll help delay that next visit by the professionals.
