Why should you clean
your carpets once a year?

How often should I clean my carpets in Provo and the surrounding areas? That’s a common question, especially if you have kids or pets, and today we’re going to explain how to figure out the right time between carpet cleanings.

We all know the world is a dirty place. It contains viruses, germs, and bacteria that can be harmful to us and those we love. But what about our own house? Does it share this horrible things?

The answer unfortunately is YES. Each time we come in from outside, we track dirt and other particles into the carpet, and the home’s furnace can also push dust, dust mites, bacteria, and sometimes mold spores into the air and onto surfaces. And guess what? all these LOVE your carpets. Yes, the warm, fluffy and full of food particles carpet. Over time, dust and gritty particles build up friction, which damages carpet fibers and leaves dark worn spots behind. The issue is that cleaning agents cannot restore the fiber, so even after cleaning, it will still look dark. Given this, most carpet manufacturers recommend cleaning and applying protector to your carpets at least once a year. That way you are removing the abrasive particles from your carpet, along with allergens, viruses, and bacteria.
