How long is too long to wait in-between professional carpet cleanings? When it comes to your carpets, dirt is like sandpaper. Microscopic granules found in typical dirt and dusts are abrasive to carpet fibers. This can cause dulling of the luster of the carpet and remove the carpet fiber’s soil repellency, making it fertile ground for spots and spills to become permanent. Industry standards recommend that you clean your carpets every 6 to 18 months, depending on your lifestyle. In addition, a Scotchgard application to your carpet can further protect it from staining by creating a protective barrier upon which liquids bead up and are easily removed. Having your carpets cleaned on a regular and ongoing basis will not only save you money in the long run because your carpets will last years longer, but will improve the look of your home and be a healthier place for you and your family to live.
