How often should you get your carpet clean breckenridge

Carpet in a typical household should be professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months depending upon the number of residents, amount and type of activity, and whether the carpet is light or dark in color.

Consider these factors when asking yourself,

“How often should I clean my carpets?”

Shoes worn indoors

Both seen and unseen dirt is carried into a household on shoes which can prematurely wear the carpet fibers. 

Children

A home with children increases the likelihood of spills, smears, and splatters, and foot traffic with no regards as to where they’ve been. Romping in the same part of the yard the pets might use as their favorite bathroom spot, for example. Additionally, children spend more time on the carpet. They’re not only getting it dirty, but causing concern for parents who want their children to have play spaces free of toxins and irritants.

Pets

Our four-legged family members undoubtedly have more hair that the legged ones. Because our pets shed on a constant basis and because their fur carries dander, along with dirt and bacteria brought in from outdoors, vacuuming even 3-4 times a week is in sufficient to keeping carpets clean. To prevent excess damage to carpet fibers, having pets in the home increases the need for professional cleaning. 

Allergies

Carpet fibers tend to collect dust and allergens floating in the air. These particles will build up over time and if allowed to accumulate will become airborne any time there is activity on the carpet, as little as someone walking through the room. These allergens need to be removed to maintain a healthy environment and limit the amount of irritants in the air for allergy sufferers. 

Color

Warranty

Some carpet manufacturers require newly-installed carpet to be maintained per instructions in order to keep the warranty in full effect. Receipts may be required to show proof the cleanings were done following the regimented schedule.
