Because every household is different, there is no standard amount of wait time in between carpet cleanings. There are a few identifiers that can help you know when to get your carpets cleaned in order to keep them in the best shape possible.

Before They Look Dirty

Dust and dirt particles can settle into the base of your carpet and begin to break down the core fibers long before the carpet actually appears dirty. If you only clean your carpets after you can see dirt or other signs of wear, you may be shortening the life span of your carpet.

Based on Traffic

If you have a large family or commonly have guests over, your carpets may need cleaning more often. Even if you don’t allow shoes on the carpets, particles of dust and food or dead skin cells will still accumulate more quickly with more people present. Additional factors such as pets and children can necessitate more frequent cleanings.

When You Have a Warranty

Most carpet manufacturers will state in their warranty policies the minimum intervals at which your carpet needs to be cleaned in order to keep the warranty intact. This amount of time can vary by manufacturer.

Carpet is a big investment and is very visible to anyone viewing your home. In order to help it last longer and keep it looking its best, regular cleaning is required. If you have additional questions about when to have your carpets cleaned, please call Smith-Mathis Inc. in Fishers.
