Article: How often should carpets be cleaned?

No doubt this question has surfaced at one time or another in the years you have owned carpeting. Information on this subject can vary from person to person - usually based on their level of usage and experience in having their carpet cleaned.

We at Homecare have heard some carpet owners express the fear that if their carpet is cleaned it will resoil faster than prior to the time it was first cleaned. This fear is the result of improper cleaning on the part of many other carpet cleaning companies. Many of these companies, in an effort to cut costs and corners, will not provide a separate rinse step in order to remove detergent residues. If detergent is left in the carpet or upholstery, accelerated resoiling will occur.

Homecare uses a more thorough method of cleaning that adds a separate rinse step after a pre spray and agitation program. This method of cleaning removes deep dirt and leaves no detergent to accelerate the resoiling process.

The fact is, the best thing you can do for your carpets is to have them regularly cleaned by a qualified professional carpet cleaning company. It is the build-up of dirt and soil that promotes wear to your carpet investment far more than the foot traffic that travels over its surface. Foot traffic only grinds the soil against the fibres and causes them to gradually dull and fall away.

Major carpet fibre manufacturers such as Dupont recommend that you have your carpets professionally cleaned every 8 to 18 months. But other considerations may increase the frequency rate: smoking habits, number and ages of children, soiling conditions, humidity, temperature condition of the outdoor environment, health status of occupants, allergy conditions, number and types of pets and the types of activities being conducted are just a few. Heavily travelled areas may require quarterly cleaning, whereas other less frequented areas may not need cleaning until 24 months.

Either way, it makes good sense to have your carpets cleaned regularly - not only from an aesthetic and investment protection point of view, but also because the deep cleaning removes bacteria, germs and the substances upon which these organisms live.
