How often should I professionally clean my carpets?

How often should I professionally clean my carpets?… Our house gets MESSY. Like, super messy. And my carpets take a lot of abuse – between the dogs, my toddler, and my nephews who are here every day – it’s tough to keep them clean. But also, with a toddler, you want to make sure it’s not just clean, but cleaned safely – since she spends a lot of time playing on it.

Tips on Professionally Cleaning your carpets

Most manufacturers will recommend at least once a year, if not more. A lot depends on how much foot traffic you have, how often you vacuum, and if you have pets or kids. {Which means I totally fall into the “more than once a year” category!!} If you have stubborn stains, or odors you just can’t remove on your own – then it is time to call for professional help. I wondered if “green cleaning” methods really worked, so read some tips and info from rug cleaning maryland:

Are Green Cleaning Methods Effective? Yes the green cleaning products in use have been tested by third parties and found to be just as effective as chemical cleaners and to be safe for the environment. Sounds much better than spreading yucky chemicals on your floors, right? Since kiddos are known to often put the toys that lay on the floor in their mouths.
Why Choose Green Carpet Cleaning? An example: In 2001, a similar product known as Befell Scotch guard, which was in use for more than 50 years before being recalled was also removed from the cleaning market. Unfortunately, the fact is that these chemicals were known to be toxic even before they were recalled. And I definitely don’t want stuff like that in my home!
Why professionally clean your carpets at all? It is very important to have your rugs cleaned on a regular basis in order to expand the life of the carpet, and extend the years of its beauty and quality.

Especially after the busy {and often very messy!} holiday season, make sure to check out local carpet cleaning services – and find organic or green cleaning places if possible. I know that for me – New Years cleaning is just as important as a good spring cleaning. I feel like cleaning out cupboards and closets, deep cleaning floors and walls – to start my new year fresh!
