How Often Should You Vacuum Carpet?

It may be easy to think that you should vacuum your carpet as often as you notice it is dirty, but there are more factors to consider than just dirt that is visible to the eye. The thin fibers that make up your carpet provide the perfect hiding spot for unwanted hair, dander and allergens. All of these nasties are things that won’t be noticeable to the eye until they start to get out of hand.

Each time you vacuum the carpets in your home, it will help remove unwanted nasties before you even notice they are there. The best vacuum habits you can create include vacuuming more than the average person thinks is needed. Specifically, carpet cleaning professionals recommend that you vacuum your carpets twice a week. Vacuuming carpet twice a week will ensure that you keep up on removing the unwanted particles hiding in the carpet fibers. For areas of your floors that are walked on more frequently, you should pay special attention to ensure that they aren’t collecting too much dirt and may even consider vacuuming these areas more often than other areas.

Why is Vacuuming Carpet Important?

Vacuuming carpet is essential to lengthening the life of your floors and keeping your home healthy. You may not know that your carpet is by far the biggest air filter in your home. Carpets can hold more than a pound of dirt per square foot! Every time you step on your carpet, dust particles circulate back into the air or get pushed further into the fabrics. Proper and regular cleaning is necessary for getting rid of all the dust and dirt that accumulates over time and even helps prevent allergies.
