Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: | How often should I have my carpet cleaned? |
| |
| A: | Most carpet manufacturers and fiber producers recommend that your wall-to-wall carpet be cleaned every 12-24 months. The Environmental Protection Agency suggests even more frequent cleaning, depending on your carpet's use.
Installed residential carpet, exposed to routine use, should be programmed for cleaning at least annually. Carpet that is subjected to extreme soiling or heavy use, particularly high traffic areas, or carpet installed in homes occupied by persons with allergy or respiratory problems requires greater cleaning frequency. Carpet receiving limited traffic needs less frequent cleaning.
Consumers should not wait until their carpet appears soiled before cleaning. Significant soil accumulation at the base of the carpet fibers occurs long before it is visible at the fiber tips. Experts agree that clean carpet contributes not only to the overall aesthetics of your interior surroundings, but it plays a vital role in the healthful state of the overall environment in which people work, live and spend the majority of their time. Regular vacuuming and immediate attention to spots and spills will keep your carpet cleaner longer.
