How Often Should I Clean Carpet?

Carpet cleaning should be done at least once a year, but it really depends on how much foot traffic you have in your home and if you have pets and children. If you have kids and animals we recommend getting your carpets professionally steam cleaned at least 2 times a year to keep them clean.

We also recommend vacuuming weekly to keep the carpet from getting damaged by dirt and debris.

Should I Use Scotchgard After Cleaning?

Scotchgard is used to basically coat carpet fibers after cleaning, protecting them from stains and making routine cleaning much easier. We use carpet protector if requested as it does help protect the carpet fibers from dirt and debris inbetween cleanings.

Carpet Can Hide A Lot Of Dirt

Certain types of carpet can hide a lot of dirt, hair, and debris inbetween the fibers. Vacuuming these types of carpet is crucial to prolonging the life of the carpet.

Frieze carpet is notorious for hiding dirt and is also notorious for wearing out if made from Polyester. Polyester carpet is made out of recycled plastic, and dirt with sand will scratch that plastic fiber. This will make the fibers lose their shine and color, resulting in darker areas in your home where there is a lot of foot traffic.

That is why even after carpet cleaning, you may notice the areas where you've used more will still by dark and dingy looking. This is called traffic lane grey and is permanently damaged. No amount of scrubbing or cleaning products will restore the carpet fibers to the way they used to be when first installed.
