Carpet Cleaning questions, answered by experts

The recommended frequency for cleaning your carpets depends on several factors, including foot traffic, pets, children, and allergies. As a general guideline, you should have your carpets professionally deep cleaned every 12 to 18 months. However, for households with high foot traffic, pets, or children, more frequent cleanings, such as quarterly, are recommended. If anyone in your home suffers from severe allergies, cleaning the carpets every two months may be best. Between professional cleanings, vacuuming at least once a week is ideal to lift surface dirt. A good time to schedule a deep cleaning is after a rainy or snowy season to avoid tracking in new mud. For a personalized schedule, consult with a carpet cleaning team, who may offer packages for ongoing visits.

The best tools and solutions for getting stains out of a carpet depend on the type of carpet. Heavier and more durable materials like wool can withstand steam cleaning, while more delicate materials like jute may get damaged. In those cases, it’s best to immediately address the stain using a mixture of water, vinegar, and baking soda or use a commercial stain remover that’s safe for your carpet. In many cases, the best way to remove a stubborn stain and avoid damage in the process is to call in a professional floor cleaner for assistance.

Depending on the thickness of the carpet, it can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours for carpet to dry with a fan. The humidity and temperature of the room also play a role in drying time, as added moisture in the air can result in longer drying time. 

If the chemical compounds that make up pet pee haven’t been properly neutralized, the smell of urine can be reactivated with water and linger even after cleaning. You may also notice a remaining pee smell in carpets if the urine has soaked down to the carpet padding, which is more difficult to access and clean than the carpet itself.

Do not mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia, acidic liquids, or other cleaners or detergents as toxic fumes result from the chemical reaction. Mix bleach only with water to avoid dangerous chemical reactions. Even mixed with water to dilute it, bleach can still be harmful to your skin, eyes, and lungs.
