Quiet homes
One or two adults, no pets, shoes off at the door: about once a year, or when traffic lanes start to show.
Carpet care guide
How often should you get your carpet cleaned?
For most homes, a professional cleaning about once a year keeps carpet looking its best. Homes with pets, young kids or heavy foot traffic often book every 6 months. In between, regular vacuuming and quick spot care do most of the work.

A simple guide
Match the schedule to your household.
Pets
Shedding, paws and the occasional accident: about every 6 months, with pet treatment if there are spots.
Young kids
Spills, crumbs and floor play: about every 6 months for the rooms they use most.
Before or after big moments
Moving in or out, hosting the holidays, or listing a home are good times to schedule a cleaning.
These are general guidelines, not rules. Some carpet warranties ask for professional cleaning at set intervals, so check yours.
Signs it's time
You don't need a calendar to tell.
Traffic lanes
Darker paths in hallways and in front of the couch mean soil has built up in the fibers.
Matted areas
Pile that stays flat where people walk most.
Lingering smells
Pet or household odors that come back after vacuuming.
Spots that keep reappearing
A cleaned spot that slowly comes back usually means residue deeper down.
Between cleanings
Small habits that stretch the time between visits.
Vacuum often
Once or twice a week in busy rooms removes grit that wears carpet down.
Blot spills fast
Blot, don't rub, and use as little water as possible.
Use mats
A mat at each door catches a lot of dirt before it reaches the carpet.
Shoes off
The simplest way to keep traffic lanes from forming.
