When Should You Clean Your Carpets?

Thorough cleaning is required once every 12 months. This is to completely remove the build-up of dirt, dust, dust mites and stains. This is like giving the carpets a fresh start so that microbes won’t proliferate much.

About DIY and professional steam cleaning

There are two ways to keep your carpets clean. First is by regular vacuuming (can be done once or twice each week) to prevent heavy accumulation of dirt and allergens. Second is through professional steam cleaning (done once a year or more often depending on household or workplace factors such as foot traffic and presence of pets).

Notice that the frequency of cleaning can depend on several factors. If the carpeted areas are always used and visited regularly, the frequency of professional cleaning goes up. Aside from preventing heavy build-up of allergens and particles, this is also important in keeping the carpets’ original colour and plump. This is especially true of light-coloured carpets where we can easily notice the build-up of dirt and stains.

How professional cleaning works

To prevent the build-up of dirt and stains as well as give the carpets a fresh start, a thorough and professional cleaning is a must. That’s because this professional approach requires the use of powerful and appropriate equipment. Note that the method is powerful and yet gentle so as not to cause damage to the carpets.

For example, here at LCS we use powerful vacuum equipment to thoroughly remove dirt from carpets. Then, we use hot steam to remove dust, dust mites and stains. We also apply safe and non-toxic antimicrobial agents for disinfection. After the job, the carpets will look and feel new. In addition, this also has the effect of improving the indoor air quality whether it’s residential or commercial space.
