How Often Should You Clean Your Carpet? Stain resistance helps keep most carpets today looking good by preventing most of the spots and stains that are usually the cues to prompt a cleaning. It's a fact that a beautiful, clean-looking carpet can hide as much as a pound of dirt per square yard. The Damaging Effects of Dirt Your beautiful carpet is harmed most by what you can’t see – the grit down deep. It wears away stain-resistance and cuts at carpet fibres as they are walked on or where children frequently play. High-traffic paths in your home will mat over time because of fibre abrasion, which can eventually lead to fibre loss. Regular Cleaning for Your Home and for Your Health For most carpets the best cleaning comes from hot-water extraction. It is the method recommended by most major carpet manufacturers and used by professional carpet cleaning services. Continued, regular deep-cleaning not only removes allergens, dirt, and grime, but can add years of life to your carpet by removing the abrasive grit that harms carpet fibres. That's where Rug Doctor comes in – with the power to go deep so you can clean like a pro. |
