How Often Should Carpets be Cleaned?

Cleaning is often only thought of to keep up the appearance of carpets and not so much for the health advantages of it.  By extracting the particles that are not removed by vacuuming such as pollutants, allergens of all kinds, pesticides or herbicides used in the outside areas can be tracked in, and combustion products from cooking, wood fires, or candles.  The only way to remove these from fabrics and carpets is to have them cleaned.  We use antimicrobial to sanitize and kill germs and bacteria.  Our products are very safe green friendly cleaning solutions.

How often they should be cleaned depends on the variables.  For instance when we have a harsh winter with lots of snow, the children and parents will not be tracking in as many allergens or outdoor particles.  In the fall when leaves are falling, it is dry and dusty, and nice outside, the children are in and out more and there are more things to bring in.  Also, keep in mind cold and flu season.  these are germs that cannot be vacuumed out either.  The recommended cleaning is at a minimum of every 3 months, during peak times it may be as often as every 2 weeks.
