Schedule regular carpet cleaning
Some people schedule professional carpet cleaning before hosting a party, or before the holidays. Others simply wait until their once-white carpet is some shade in between beige and taupe. We find that regular cleanings help keep carpets looking like new, and maximize the lifetime of your carpeted floor. Regular carpet cleaning also keeps your floors sanitary, which improves the air quality in your home.
You should schedule a professional carpet cleaning at least once a year. However, you get better results with more frequent cleanings. Households with children or indoor/outdoor pets may choose to schedule cleanings every three to six months.
