How often should I clean?

This is a commonly asked question. I have had people say that they have not had their carpets cleaned in 8 years or more because they have relied on myths and misconceptions or they simply thought that their carpet is clean.

The fact is that cleaning extends the life of your carpet and saves you the tremendous amount of money required to replace prematurely worn carpet. Carpets cleaned on a regular basis provide a healthy, safe living environment for you and your family at the same time adding years of life to one of the larger investments in your home.

So the question is, how often should they be cleaned? The answer can depend on several factors. The chart below taken from the IICRC Reference Guide for Professional Carpet Cleaning can assist you in answering this all important question.
