Most carpet manufacturers recommend professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months. This is the basic schedule that will maintain your carpets under light to normal use. However, depending on the situation in your home, your carpet may require more frequent cleaning. We recommend you clean your carpets every six to nine months for high traffic areas and for homes with pets and small children.
For more specific care instructions for your carpet, be sure to check the carpet manufacturer warranty.
If you wait until your carpet looks dirty to clean it, you risk damage to the carpet's fibers. This comes from a combination of dirt and friction from your shoes as you walk across the carpet.

Besides vacuuming twice a week (more often may be recommended in high traffic areas), professional carpet cleaning will remove dirt and other damaging particles from deep inside the carpet. It will also take care of dust mites, dander, and bacterial contamination in the carpet, not to mention stains!
