A useful starting point

Many homes benefit from professional carpet cleaning every 12 to 18 months. High-traffic homes, households with pets or children, and homes affected by allergies may need service more often.

Watch the carpet, not only the date

Visible traffic lanes, lingering odors, recurring spots, and a dull or matted appearance are useful signals. Prompt attention to spills can also reduce the chance of permanent staining.

Protect the result

Vacuum regularly, use entry mats, address spills according to the carpet maker's guidance, and allow cleaned carpet to dry fully before returning furniture or heavy traffic.
