How Often Should You Clean Your Floors?
Floors should be cleaned at least once a week. If dirty shoes are walking on your carpet every day, you should vacuum every day. Although this is probably not possible, you should know that small dirt and rock particles can cut the fibers of carpet, making it appear dirty. This is part of the reason your high-traffic areas in your home will look worse than other areas of the carpet. Even if you have your carpet professionally cleaned, the traffic areas may still look darker.
It is also recommended that you have your carpet cleaned annually. Angie recommends The Rug Beater. She personally knows the owner of this company, and she and her staff are well educated in caring for carpet.
