When it comes to keeping your home clean and healthy, carpets are often the biggest challenge. They get walked on every day, trap dust and allergens, and can quickly show signs of wear in high-traffic areas. But exactly how often should you get them cleaned — and is it really worth it?
At Healthy Home Services, we recommend having your carpets professionally cleaned at least every six months. Here’s why.
Why Six Months Makes a Difference
Over time, even with regular vacuuming, dirt, dust, and bacteria settle deep into carpet fibers. Around the six-month mark, you’ll start to notice:
-
Spots and stains from spills or tracked-in debris
-
Traffic lanes — those darker, worn-looking paths where people walk the most
-
Dull or matted fibers that make your carpet look older than it really is
If left too long, this buildup can work its way deep into the carpet, making it extremely difficult (and sometimes impossible) to remove completely — even with the best cleaning equipment and solutions.
Benefits of Professional Carpet Cleaning
Getting your carpets cleaned regularly isn’t just about appearance. It also helps:
-
Extend carpet life by preventing deep fiber damage
-
Improve indoor air quality by removing allergens, dust mites, and bacteria
-
Eliminate odors caused by spills, pets, or general household use
-
Restore a fresh, bright look that makes your whole home feel cleaner
What Sets Our Carpet Cleaning Apart
Many carpet cleaners just do a quick hot water extraction, but Healthy Home Services goes the extra mile. Our 5–7 step cleaning process includes:
- Pre-vacuuming all carpeted areas with our commercial grade vacuum
-
Pre-spraying traffic lanes and heavily soiled areas
-
Pre-scrubbing with a counter-rotating brush machine to lift dirt from fibers
-
Targeted spot and stain treatment
- Deep hot water extraction (steam cleaning)
-
Optional carpet protectant to resist future stains
- Optional sanitizer/deodorizer for lasting freshness
This approach ensures a deep, thorough clean that lasts longer and helps prevent stains from returning.
