How Often Should You Clean Your Carpet?
The Carpet and Rug Institute recommends regular professional deep cleaning based on household conditions and carpet use. That interval tightens based on how your home lives:
- Every 6 months - homes with multiple pets, small children, or allergy sufferers.
- Every 12 months - typical family households, standard foot traffic.
- Every 18 months - empty-nester or low-traffic homes with no pets.
- Quarterly - commercial spaces, waiting rooms, retail floors.
