We like to think we can keep our own carpets clean, thank you so much.
We just need to vacuum every month or so and clean up after any spillage right? 
Wrong.
​
Is that almost all carpet companies require you to professionally steam clean your carpet every 12-24 months to keep your warranty valid.
What we're saying is just vacuuming is not enough, neither is steaming carpets yourself. Professional steaming is, like it or not, the only way to protect your carpet in most cases.

As well as a way to protect your health. 

The air in your home can be 8 to 10 times worse in quality, than the outside air if you don't clean your floor surfaces.
When millions of Americans suffer from allergies, air quality in your home is a huge issue.

So, to maintain good air quality in your home, it's important to follow a few carpet cleaning rules:

You should call in professional carpet cleaners, more often than you think.
Carpet companies won't honor your warranty unless you hire professional carpet cleaners every 12 to 18 months. Check your carpets warranty for specifics. 

We also recommend even more frequent steaming in the interest of a dust free home. You should call in professional steamers every 6 months or 6-weeks if you have a pet.
Regardless of how often you choose to clean them, we all agree that professional steam cleaners are 100% necessary, as steam doing it yourself, can cause moisture to be trapped deep within the fibres of your carpet, which acts as an incubator for mould growth and other microorganisms.
It goes without saying, that professional equipment is the only way how to remove the steam after cleaning.

Between steams, vacuuming at least weekly and much more often if you have pets.
As expected, vacuuming is the easiest way to keep carpets and area rugs clean between steams.
We recommend vacuuming at least once a week to keep the dust particles out of  your carpet fibres .
You'll have to pay special attention to high traffic areas or if you have pets, these might need daily vacuuming depending on how much dirt you notice.
​
Remove area rugs side for spring and fall cleaning sessions.

If you can, area rugs and beat with a broom and then allow to air couple of hours.
Failing that, they can be vacuumed and steam cleaned the same as the carpets in your home.

Vacuum slowly.
When we vacuum, a common mistake made by homeowners, is vacuuming too quickly.
If you slow it down, this allows the vacuum to work properly, by vibrating the carpet fibres and removing dust efficiently.
Block carpet spills immediately do not leave them till later.
If you spill something on your carpet, rubbing and scrubbing may just work it deeper into your carpet and distort the carpets pile. You should always blot the instant it happens.
Spray carpet cleaner on a cloth and dab the stain. Working from the outside to the center, then rinse with a clean cloth the same way. A great tip here is to cover the area with paper towels and place something heavy on top, leaving it overnight to try and remove any residue.

Pick a carpet that's not a dust magnet in the first place!
Ultimately, avoid dust build up in your carpet in the first place by choosing a low pile. This means choosing one with short fibres as high layers will trap more dust fibres.

We recommend natural, durable materials like wool instead of synthetic ones like nylon as a great idea. Carpet tiles are a brilliant alternative to wall to wall carpets, if you have a spill, replace the tile with a new one. Voila!
If you keep it clean, it will last forever!
You could carpet for lifetime if you keep it clean as you get what you pay for. Carpet lifespans vary wildly and range with their quality, you get what you pay for, so a good quality carpet could last up to 15 years if kept dust free.
