Understanding the Factors That Influence Carpet Cleaning Frequency

Having carpets around the house can make your Winnipeg home feel cozy and warm. But, according to Darren Chalus, owner of professional residential and commercial carpet & upholstery cleaning service Superior Chem-Dry in Winnipeg, MB, “carpets are meant to be cleaned regularly to avoid buildup bacteria and dirt on their fibers. So how often do you get your carpets cleaned?

Carpets come in all shapes and sizes but require regular and thorough cleaning if you want them to last a long time. This guide tells you just how often you should have your carpets cleaned regularly by a professional based on several factors.

Know The Four Factors That Determine How Often You Should Clean Your Carpets

Vacuuming

Cleaning your carpets depends on how often you vacuum them. As you may know, carpets can absorb much dirt, fluids, and loose particles on their surface. When you vacuum your carpets often, you prevent those particles and droplets from settling deeper into the carpet. This is a good practice as it contains abrading fibers. Vacuuming at least once or twice a week allows you to go longer between professional deep cleanings. However, it’s still a surface-level type of cleaning. 

Allergies

Several studies have shown that houses with carpets have a significantly high amount of allergens in the air compared to houses that don’t have any carpets. This is because carpet fibers work effectively as a form of filter that collects a lot of loose particles in the air and the area where they’re placed. 

As time passes, those particles that have accumulated on the carpet can build up if you don’t vacuum them or have them cleaned thoroughly. The problem is those particles can induce allergic reactions if you have a family member that has allergies. Even as simple as walking on the carpet could release all those particles and trigger everyone’s allergies. If you have any family members that have allergies, it’s best to clean your carpets as often as possible to alleviate the recurring symptoms.

Carpet Color

Believe it or not, carpet color is also a factor to be considered. If you use light-colored carpets in your living room, they’re a great piece to brighten up any space. However, they’re also notorious for revealing dirt and stains. That means, just a few weeks or even days of not cleaning your carpet, you’ll notice how much its color changes because of all the dirt, hairs, and particles that are attached to it. The good news is you’ll know immediately just how dirty your carpet is, which should be a great indicator that you need to have it cleaned immediately.

Pets

Having pets is a welcome addition to any home. Seeing them run around the house can relieve stress by appreciating how cute and innocent your pets are. Unfortunately, that also means they can sometimes leave a lot of mess behind, even on your carpet. Pets tend to track outdoor grime into your home or leave urine, feces, and vomit on your carpet. If your pets tend to shed a lot of hair, those can also get caught up in the carpet fibers. Those wastes can easily carry diseases or bacteria, which warrants regular cleaning.
