What’s underfoot constantly for most people at home? Here’s a hint: it’s not just our children and pets – it’s our carpets! The flooring under your feet gets a lot of use.
But even when it appears clean, a dirty carpet can harbor allergens, dust, dirt and germs that most vacuums just can’t reach. The debris gets pushed deep into the carpet, and can only be removed by professionally cleaning or steaming the rug. To avoid buildup in your carpets, professional cleaning should be done (at least) once per year – and more often in certain situations.
Deep cleaning – either performed by a professional, or with a steamer – may need to be done on a more frequent basis in households with young children. Regular cleaning helps clear mud, germs and other debris that can be tracked in over time and help make sure it’s safe and clean enough for babies to crawl through the house.
In addition, anyone with severe allergies may also want to have their carpets cleaned more frequently. Carpets can act as a trap for allergens that collect deep down in the fibers if not cleaned regularly. Hiring a professional to clean your carpet once or twice a year can help you to reduce the triggers for allergies and help build up a more healthy breathing environment.
No matter the size of your family, having your carpets cleaned at least once per year will help keep your living space free from dust and debris. And for more information on how best to keep you carpets in tip top shape, check out this article.
