How often should I have my carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned?

Asked 2 years ago
The frequency of professional carpet and upholstery cleaning can depend on several factors, including the amount of foot traffic in your home, the presence of pets or children, and any specific stains or odors that may arise. Typically, it is recommended to have carpets professionally cleaned every 6 to 12 months to maintain their appearance and lifespan. Upholstery cleaning may vary more widely; it can be beneficial to have it cleaned every 1 to 3 years, depending on usage and fabric type. If there are allergies in the household or if a spill occurs, more frequent cleanings might be necessary. It is also advisable to follow any specific care recommendations from manufacturers or professionals regarding your carpet and upholstery materials.
