Carpet cleaning is an important part of regular home maintenance. You should have this job performed at least once a year. In high traffic homes, it’s best to have the carpets cleaned every six months. The best method for cleaning carpets is hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning. This method for cleaning your carpet uses extremely hot water to clean the carpet fibers. One of the biggest benefits of this type of cleaning is that the heat will kill off many microorganisms that other cleaning methods miss. Your carpet could be harboring dust mites, germs, bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Everyday wear and tear can take a big toll on your carpets. Pounds of dirt and debris can build up between the fibers. Dirty carpets are an inviting home for a lot of unwelcome guests. If you have a flea infestation, ants, or other insect problems, you’ll find that they can hide very efficiently in the carpets. An annual carpet cleaning will help get rid of unpleasant debris hiding in the carpet. To keep your carpet in top shape between cleanings, you should vacuum twice a week. If you have pets and small children, you may even want to vacuum daily.

To get the most out of your carpet cleaning, you should pick up and move as much furniture as possible. When the furniture is out of the way, the hot water extraction will help to release cramped fibers that have been crushed by furniture legs. This will give you a fresh clean start. Avoid walking on your newly cleaned carpet before it’s dry. If you must return home and retrieve something, remove your shoes and walk lightly. Never replace furniture and other large items before the carpets have dried completely. Keep pets out of the home while carpets are being cleaned as well.
