Frequently used carpet should be professionally cleaned by a qualified technician at least annually – perhaps a little longer interval for infrequently used carpet and even sooner for carpet in homes occupied by respiratory sensitive or allergic persons; or in homes with indoor pets.

 Below is a list that Professional Carpet Technicians use on frequency of vacuuming and carpet cleaning:

Light Soil:
Vacuum once a per week /Carpet cleaning traffic areas only every 12 to 18 months.

Normal Soil  (families with children or elderly):
Vacuum once a per week /Carpet cleaning traffic areas only every 6 to 12 months.

Heavy Soil (families with pets or smoking):
Vacuum once a per week /Carpet cleaning traffic areas only every 3 to 6 months.
