Anyone who has ever had a carpeted floor knows how much can be tracked into a home. The biggest animal culprits are cats and dogs, but even a vacuum cleaner leaves dirt behind.
The question, “How often should I have my carpet cleaned?” is a common one. Most people will think of cleaning their carpets somewhere between 3-5 years unless they have children or pets. If you have any concerns about the health of your loved ones, call Carpet Cleaning Melbourne to ask about our special children and pet-friendly cleaning techniques.
As far as the frequency of your carpet care goes, here are a few guidelines:
1.) Tenants
If you live in an apartment or condominium that uses common hallways, then you should probably get your carpets cleaned every six months. The longer that grime and dirt can reside in your carpet, the more likely it will be rubbed into the hallways and driveways.
2.) Family with Kids
If you have children who often play on the floor (and you can bet that your rugs are not protected with plastic), then carpets should be cleaned once a year at a minimum. You don’t want to think about the number of times that your child may place his or her hands on the ground and then put their hands in their mouth. Also, we all know how much children love to play with food and throw it anywhere. Again, this would be another good reason for having your carpets cleaned every year.
3.) Family with Pets
If you have pets, then your carpet cleaning frequency should increase to at least once every six months. Just think about all of the doggie accidents that are bound to happen, no matter how good your pet care is.
4.) Family with No Kids or Pets
If you fall into this category, it is still a good idea to have them cleaned every year. A professional carpet cleaning company such as Carpet Cleaning World will use the best Wet Carpet Drying & Cleaning
techniques with their powerful steam cleaners to restore your carpets back to their original glory.
