Steam Carpet Cleaning Q & A

How often should I have my carpets cleaned?

  • This depends on several factors.
    • Is this a commercial facility or a residence?
    • If commercial, how high a volume of visitors and employees does your facility have?
    • If residential, do you have children?
    • What type of cleaning schedule do you have in place?
    • What type(s) of carpet do you have?
  • In general, we recommend a professional cleaning for residences once or twice a year.
  • For commercial facilities, the frequency depends on traffic level:
    • For high traffic areas such as entryways, 4-12 times/year
    • For mid-volume areas such as classrooms and general office areas, 4-6 times/year
    • For light traffic zones, such as executive offices and boardrooms,1-3 times/year

How can I extend the life of my carpets?

  • Ensure that a hot water extraction professional cleaning is on a schedule as well.
  • Reapply approved professional carpet protector after each steam cleaning, and after spot repairs.
  • The most important piece is proper maintenance. Vacuum your carpets on a regular, frequent schedule.
  • Install entry mats and rugs. If this is a residence, you may wish to use washable mats and rugs. In any case, make sure that the mats do not have rubber backing or use dyes that may leach into your carpet.
