How Often Should You Clean Your Carpet and Rugs?

Whether you have wall-to-wall carpet or rugs over wood flooring in your home, these cozy textiles provide a warm, comfortable, and stylish addition to each room. Unfortunately, they also endure spills and collect dirt, dust, and all sorts of other debris. Floor coverings must be cleaned regularly in order to stay nice and maintain their aesthetic appeal, as well as contribute to the overall cleanliness of your home. The experts at Ayoub Carpet Service have been cleaning carpets in homes and cleaning rugs in our facility since 1952, and we’ll discuss some considerations that may determine how often you should have yours cleaned.

Location of Rugs and Carpet within Your Home

The frequency of cleaning your rugs depends on their placement within your home. Any rugs in an entryway, living room, or other main thoroughfare will require more frequent cleaning than a rug in a guest bedroom. The areas of your floor that are traversed routinely are also more likely to see spills and dirt brought in from the outside, rendering them in need of cleaning.

Any Household Allergies & Heath Conditions

Does anyone in your family suffer from allergies or other respiratory conditions that allergens inside your home could worsen? In that case, you'll want to ensure that your carpet and rugs are vacuumed and cleaned regularly to help minimize the buildup. You don't want to let allergens accumulate on your carpet for long, where they can become trapped and wreak havoc on your health.

The Family Dynamic of Your Household

If you live with small children and pets, you will likely need your carpet and rugs cleaned fairly frequently. Fortunately, we specialize in removing all traces of pet accidents from your rug. Don't make the same mistake as many other homeowners of buying cleaning products off the shelf of your local store, which sets the very stains you are trying to remove.
