Did you know that no amount of at-home vacuuming will get your carpets fully cleaned? And the stains from pets and spilled wine won’t lift with DIY techniques. If it has been a while since your carpets have been deep-cleaned, it’s time to call A+ Restoration and Cleaning. We provide professional carpet cleaning in Pensacola, Florida, and throughout the Florida panhandle. In this article, we shed light on how often you should have your carpets cleaned by specialists.

Factors that determine how often you should get professional carpet cleaning

Generally, we suggest having your carpet cleaned every 12-18 months. But several factors could require you to have them cleaned more often. We will examine some of them below. 

How often you vacuum

If you vacuum at least once a week, you might be able to schedule a professional carpet cleaning service every 18 months. Regular vacuuming cleans the carpet fibers and picks up significant debris, like chunks of dirt, leaves, and hair. When you don’t vacuum regularly, the debris grinds into the fibers. When that occurs, only a professional carpet cleaning service can get your carpet clean.

Allergies

Carpet is notorious for trapping allergens, such as pollen, dust, or pet dander. As the allergens build up, any sensitive members of your household will experience worsened allergy symptoms. When someone walks across the carpet, it kicks up the allergens, making them airborne. Therefore, if you have people living in your home with allergens, you’ll need more frequent professional carpet cleaning services. 

Carpet color

Light-colored carpet shows dirt more readily than dark-colored options. Therefore, light-colored carpets (especially white) will need professional carpet cleaning more often. 

Warranty

Here’s a little-known fact: many carpet manufacturers require you to keep up with a regular cleaning and maintenance regime for your warranty to remain valid. So now would be a good time to pull up that warranty to see what your company requires. After we professionally clean your carpet, make sure to save the receipt in case you ever need to submit a warranty claim in the future. 

Pets

If you have pets, you’ll need to schedule professional carpet cleaning services more frequently. Pets often have accidents on the carpet, and their hair is ubiquitous. Therefore, pets not only create stains on your carpet, but they also create odors. Many of these stains and odors don’t respond to at-home cleaning techniques, so you’ll need to call A+ Restoration and Cleaning to have them professionally removed. 

Young children

We love our children, but they really know how to make a mess! That includes messes on your carpets. From crayons and markers to muddy footprints and spilled juice, every type of stain is possible when you have children in your home. Most of these stains require professional assistance. 

Shoes in the house

Shoes track in mud, dirt, and small pebbles and grit. Not only does it dirty your carpet, it can also cause excessive wear. We can remove the stains caused by shoes worn in the home, but we can’t fix the excessive wear patterns. That is why we never recommend wearing shoes while walking on carpet.
