If you live in Chester, Ellesmere Port, the Wirral or North Wales, you’ll know how quickly carpets lose their freshness – especially through a wet British winter. But how often should you actually have them professionally cleaned, and is it really worth it? Here’s everything you need to know.
How often should you clean your carpets?
Most carpet manufacturers recommend a professional deep clean at least once every 12 months. If you have pets, young children or busy areas like hallways and stairs, every six months is better. Regular vacuuming helps, but it only removes surface dirt – it can’t reach the grit, dust mites and allergens buried deep in the fibres.
Steam cleaning vs hot water extraction
Steam cleaning uses hot vapour to freshen carpet fibres. Hot water extraction – the method we use at Clearway Trusted Cleaning – goes further, flushing out embedded dirt, stains and allergens with professional equipment and then extracting the water, so your carpets dry quickly and stay cleaner for longer.
5 signs your carpet needs a professional clean
- It looks dull even after vacuuming
- There are stains that won’t shift
- It smells musty or stale
- Family members’ allergies seem worse than usual
- It hasn’t been professionally cleaned for over a year
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to book.
