As a professional carpet cleaner for many years I have dealt with all kinds of issues.  Here are some quick answers to some of the most common questions I get asked.  You can also find out more here on this Carpet Cleaning website our or Carpet Cleaning Fort Collins site.

How often to Clean your Home Carpets?

It's not a straight forward answer and it all depends on the use and abuse your carpets take.  If you have a few kids and the carpet gets daily wear then you should look at cleaning your carpets at least twice a year and maybe a third time for just the high traffic areas.If you wait untill your cart shows signs of dirt then it makes it that much harder to get cleaned and chances are not all of it will come out.

If you live alone and have no pets and not a whole lot of carpet traffic then most likely you only need to have your carpets cleaned once a year.  After I mention this I often get asked why the carpets even need to be cleaned once a year because these people are taking very good care of their carpets and they are immaculate.It's a very honest question to ask and one most people would think of.

Picture this, you place a shirt on the ground and walk over it for an entire year.  Yes you may be walking over it with just your socks but it still gets very dirty.Now in a years time are you going to pick that shirt up and wear it.  The answer is of course not.You know you would wash your shirt first.  Carpets are great at hiding dirt.  You want to be able to sit and even lay down on your carpets with out having to worry about how dirty they are.

Regardless of how little traffic your carpet gets you want to have them cleaned at least once a year.  Almost all carpet manufacturers will also tell you to get your carpets cleaned once a year as well.  Doing so will really help the over all life and looks of your carpet.
