Everyone is aware of the need to have their homes and their surroundings clean. Cleanliness keeps you healthy. If your home and surroundings are not clean, then you’re likely to be exposed to all the infections and seasonal allergies that might be going around. If you have young children in the home, they’re especially vulnerable to such allergies, and more so if you also have pets in the house.
The dust and dirt from years of use settle on your carpets; though dust and dirt settle everywhere, it is worse for your carpets because they also collect dirt from our feet, pet dander, pollen and other air-borne pollutants and allergens. This can begin to affect the health of your family if not regularly and effectively cleaned, because every time you take a step, you will be disturbing these settled allergens and they will become airborne again. This is why dirty carpets are associated with respiratory diseases and other allergies. One of the first few things your doctor will ask you when you go to him with a respiratory problem is if there are any pets in your home and on your carpets.
Most health care administration recommends having your carpets professionally cleaned at least twice a year. The IICRC, which is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, recommends that:
- Spots to be cleaned as early as possible to prevent staining
If your home has light soil, vacuuming once a week
- Heavy duty cleaning for heavy traffic areas – once a year; twice if you’re prone to allergies and respiratory problems; professional cleaning
- Restorative cleaning – including polishing so that your carpet looks as good as new, once every two years by professional cleaners
If your home has normal soil, regular vacuuming twice a week
- Heavy duty cleaning for high traffic areas – every six to twelve months
- Restorative cleaning – annually including polishing, by professionals
If your home has heavy soil and pets, regular vacuuming up to four times a week
- Heavy duty cleaning for heavy traffic areas – every three to six months, professionally
- Restorative cleaning – including polishing so that your carpet looks as good as new, once every six months by professionals
In extreme cases, with a large family and multiple pets, experts recommend daily vacuuming, professional cleaning every couple of months and restorative cleaning every 3 or 4 months.
