To Clean or Not To Clean?

Should I Clean or Replace My Carpet?

To clean or not to clean? Should I spend the money and replace my carpet? The biggest question we get all the time is “How often should I clean my carpet?” The answer? When carpet cleaning is in question, it depends on several things and there are different ways to answer this question.

Carpet cleaning is complicated. For some people, if it looks dirty, it needs to be cleaned. But the outward appearance of a carpet isn’t always the best way to determine whether carpet cleaning is necessary or not. People with dark carpet find the darker color can hide a great deal! Including how dirty a carpet really is.

What Factors are Important?

Some of these factors are the number of family members in your home. Are there pets, does someone smoke? How much traffic does your carpet see in a day? Is it cost effective when making a decision to have your carpet cleaned or spend more money and buy new carpet.

That’s why carpet manufacturers recommend carpet should be cleaned at least every 12 months. Heavily tafficked carpet should be cleaned at least every 6 months to keep it in good condition and last longer. Another factor is does anyone smoke in your home?

Let’s break down the different levels of carpet cleaning requirements to give you a better idea of how often your carpeting should be cleaned.
